According to M. Koshiyama and colleagues, Himeji National Hospital, Hyogo, "The relationship between endometrial carcinoma and coexistent adenomyosis uteri, endometriosis externa, and myoma uteri has been reported in only a few studies. We studied the characteristics of the endometrial carcinomas accompanied by these benign diseases."
Their study cohort was made up of 179 endometrial carcinoma cases, "consisting of 29 (16%) endometrial carcinomas with adenomyosis uteri, 12 (7%) with endometriosis externa, 51 (28%) with myoma uteri, and 87 controls (49%) without these benign diseases."
The researchers reported that "79%, 75%, and 65% of the endometrial carcinomas with adenomyosis uteri, endometriosis externa, and myoma uteri, respectively, showed a low histologic grade (GI). In particular, the patients with adenomyosis uteri and endometriosis externa were relatively younger than the control patients (54.2, 54.1 years vs. 57.7 years).
