TLDR
The MUSA (Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment) statement is a consensus statement on terms, definitions and measurements that may be used to describe and report the sonographic features of the myometrium using gray‐scale sonography, color/power Doppler and three‐dimensional ultrasound imaging.Abstract:
The MUSA (Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment) statement is a consensus statement on terms, definitions and measurements that may be used to describe and report the sonographic features of the myometrium using gray-scale sonography, color/power Doppler and three-dimensional ultrasound imaging. The terms and definitions described may form the basis for prospective studies to predict the risk of different myometrial pathologies, based on their ultrasound appearance, and thus should be relevant for the clinician in daily practice and for clinical research. The sonographic features and use of terminology for describing the two most common myometrial lesions (fibroids and adenomyosis) and uterine smooth muscle tumors are presented.

TL;DR: The IDEA (International Deep Endometriosis Analysis group) statement is a consensus opinion on terms, definitions and measurements that may be used to describe the sonographic features of the different phenotypes of endometiosis.

The two FIGO systems for normal and abnormal uterine bleeding symptoms and classification of causes of abnormal uterine bleeding in the reproductive years: 2018 revisions.
TL;DR: The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) systems for nomenclature of symptoms of normal and abnormal uterine bleeding in the reproductive years and for classification of causes of AUB were published together in 2011 to facilitate research, education, and clinical care.

Rethinking mechanisms, diagnosis and management of endometriosis
TL;DR: A patient-centred, individualized, multi-modal and interdisciplinary integrated approach should be taken to maximize the quality of the patient’s ‘endometriosis life’ and how health-care professionals could rethink endometRIosis diagnosis and management is highlighted.

Pathogenesis of uterine adenomyosis: invagination or metaplasia?
Javier García-Solares,Jacques Donnez,Olivier Donnez,Marie-Madeleine Dolmans,Marie-Madeleine Dolmans +4 more
TL;DR: Studies conducted in a recently developed baboon model indicate that collective cell migration may be implicated in the later events of invasion of adenomyosis, suggesting that the invasiveness of this complex uterine disorder is not driven by a single mechanism of migration but by a time-dependent combination of two processes.

Role of transvaginal sonography and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of uterine adenomyosis
Marc Bazot,Emile Daraï +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that MRI is more useful than TVS in the diagnosis of adenomyosis, and further studies are required to determine the performance of direct signs and indirect signs to avoid misdiagnosis of adanomyosis.

FIGO classification system (PALM-COEIN) for causes of abnormal uterine bleeding in nongravid women of reproductive age
TL;DR: The PALM‐COEIN (polyp; adenomyosis; leiomyoma; malignancy and hyperplasia; coagulopathy; ovulatory dysfunction; endometrial; iatrogenic; and not yet classified) classification system for AUB is presented.

Terms, definitions and measurements to describe the sonographic features of adnexal tumors: a consensus opinion from the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) group
TL;DR: The steering committee for the study held special meetings to discuss the problems of standardization and to formulate terms and procedures to derive morphologic end- points by Bmode imaging and end-points of vascularity and blood flow by color Doppler imaging.

Transcervical hysteroscopic resection of submucous fibroids for abnormal uterine bleeding: results regarding the degree of intramural extension
TL;DR: Transcervical resection of submucous fibroids with more than 50% intramural extension should be performed only in selected cases, as complete resection usually necessitates repeat procedures.

Ultrasonography compared with magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of adenomyosis: correlation with histopathology
TL;DR: TVUS is as efficient as MRI for the diagnosis of adenomyosis in women without myoma, while MRI could be recommended for women with associated leiomyoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathophysiology of adenomyosis
TL;DR: The prerequisite for adenomyosis may be triggered or facilitated by either a 'weakness' of the smooth muscle tissue or an increased intrauterine pressure or both, and relatively high oestrogen concentrations and impaired immune-related growth control in ectopic endometrium may be necessary for the maintenance of adenomeosis.
