Intravascular adenomyomatosis (IA), characterised by endometrial-type glands or stroma embedded within smooth muscle tissue inside myometrial vessels, is a rare variant within the spectrum of uterine intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL).
Background and Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissue, comprising both glandular and stromal components, located outside the uterine cavity, affecting approximately …
