Adenomyoma is a tumor ("-oma") including components derived from glands ("adeno-") and muscle ("-my-").^[1] It is a type of complex and mixed tumor.

In Ob/Gyn contexts, it is a form of adenomyosis that forms a mass or growth around the tissue of the inner uterus.

Usually occurs in women over 30 who have carried a pregnancy to term. Conversely, it rarely occurs in women who have not carried to term.

Most cases of adenomyosis are non-symptomatic. However, it may present with dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain. In case of juvenile cystic adenomyoma, laparoscopic enucleation results in a statistically and clinically significant reduction in dysmenorrhea, ease in any chronic pelvic pain and low risk of recurrence.^[2]
