“…4,9 Diagnosis Ultrasonography is the first choice imaging modality for the investigation of pelvic pain and dysmenorrhoea. 9,11 On MRI imaging, cystic adenomyosis appears as a cystic lesion within the myometrium, with a hyperintense signal on T1-weighted images and an intermediate signal on T2-weighted images. 10 Juvenile cystic adenomyosis has some salient features.…”

This report describes a case of a uterine cystic myometrial lesion in a 16-year-old adolescent girl presenting with pelvic pain and severe progressively worsening dysmenorrhoea. Patient's symptoms, ultrasound and MRI were suggestive of juvenile cystic adenomyosis (JCA). Medical treatment and alcohol sclerotherapy had a moderate and transient effect. The symptoms rapidly recurred, and the lesion was successfully excised via laparoscopic surgery. The treatment of JCA depends on patient's age, the symptoms' severity and the cyst location. Although rare, juvenile cystic adenomyosis should be considered in young women with severe dysmenorrhoea.

“…The following ultrasound criteria for adenomyosis had been recorded on preoperative scan: myometrial cysts, hyperechogenic islands, fan-shaped shadowing, subendometrium echogenic lines and buds (linear striation), and an irregular endometrial - myometrial junction [15]. …”

The use of in vitro three-dimensional ultrasound examination with needle stereotaxis after hysterectomy is illustrated in a case of extensive adenomyosis. The quality of the images at in vitro ultrasonography was compared with the quality of the images obtained at the preoperative ultrasound examination. The ultrasound findings were compared with the macroscopical and the microscopical examination. This new approach helps in indicating the precise location of the preoperatively identified adenomyosis lesions to the pathologist. This may optimize the diagnostic accuracy of the histological examination in women with adenomyosis.

“…These include cystic areas in the myometrium as well as increased vascularity along the periphery of the uterine body [ 13 ]. These fi ndings have been described as "venetian blinds" secondary to the shadowing produced by these defects on structures further from the ultrasound probe [ 14 ]. In addition, one can demonstrate asymmetry of the anterior and posterior aspects (in relation to the endometrium) of the myometrium.…”
