Table 3.

The prevalences of endometriosis in adenomyosis and vice versa as determined on the basis of arbitrary detection limits with respect to the thickness of the junctional zone at ≥8, ≥10 and ≥12 mm, respectively

Prevalence of endometriosis in adenomyosis
JZ thickness n %
≥8 mm 50/66 75.8
≥10 mm 44/57 77.2
≥12 mm 33/42 78.6
Prevalence of adenomyosis in endometriosis
JZ thickness n %
≥8 mm 52/56 92.9
≥10 mm 44/56 78.6
≥12 mm 33/56 58.9
Prevalence of endometriosis in "visualized" adenomyosis and vice versa
n %
Endometriosis in visualized adenomyosis 54/67 80.6
Visualized adenomyosis in endometriosis 51/56 91.1

In “visualized” adenomyosis, the diagnosis is based upon a thickness of the JZ of ≥12 mm and criteria characteristic of adenomyosis below this limit of detection
