Adenomyosis uteri: a study of 416 cases.

Adenomyosis was noted in 16% of 2,616 consecutive hysterectomy specimens examined during a 7-year period. Multiparas between the ages of 30 and 50 years were most commonly affected. Abnormal uterine bleeding was the common symptom. Myohyperplasia and leiomyomas were the usual associated lesions. Adenomyosis uteri was seen equally in women of African, Indian and mixed races in this West Indian population.
