Abstract (original English)
Incidence of adenomyosis is estimated on 20% in all of extracted uteruses. Clinically, it usually exists asymptomatically, but could be followed with dysmenorrhoea, menorrhagia and pelvic pain. One third of patients with adenomyosis are sterile, however in other two thirds, conception and pregnancy could have normal development, with delivery without complications. One of possible complications related to adenomyosis is rupture of uterus during delivery. A pregnant woman at the end of the 10th lunar month of pregnancy, showed minimal labour contractions, following amnion rupture and the delivery was terminated by section ceasar. Subtotal hysterectomy was performed because of concominant profuse bleeding. Myometrium was occupied with decidual cells in trabecular arrangement, among which elongated endometrial glands were placed. Surrounding muscle fascicles showed atrophic, apoptic, and occasionally necrotic changes. Myometrial stroma was edematous, and infiltrated with mesenchymal cells, as well as with adipose cells, which were extending toward serosa. The patient had been receiving treatment, for a long period, because of sterility without clear etiological factor. A small number of similar cases ends with complications. Here, it is evident that abundant decidual transformation of stromal cells in adenomiosis leads to atrophy and necrosis of muscle cells. The reduction of uter
What this study does not prove
- • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
- • Without an adequate control group, treatment effects cannot be separated from other factors.
