• two layers – basal layer and functional layer(shed during menstruation)
• atrophies after menopause, which may lead to bleeding

• menstrual: 2-4 mm
• proliferative: 5-11 mm
• secretory: 7-16 mm

• Will depend on the whether or not there is a history of vaginal bleeding, and on the use of hormonal therapy / tamoxifen.
• Vaginal bleeding (and not on tamoxifen):
  • suggested upper limit of normal is <5 mm
    • the risk of carcinoma is ~7% if the endometrium is >5 mm and 0.07% if the endometrium is <5 mm
    • on hormonal replacement therapy: upper limit is 5 mm
• No history of vaginal bleeding:
  • the acceptable range of endometrial thickness is less well established in this group, cut-off values of 8-11 mm have been suggested
    • the risk of carcinoma is ~7% if the endometrium is >11 mm, and 0.002% if the endometrium is <11 mm
• If on tamoxifen: <6 mm (although ~50% of those receiving tamoxifen have been reported to have a thickness of >8 mm)

After D&C or spontaneous abortion, endometrium should be no thicker than 5 mm or suspect retained POC

  • >5.0cm or complex at any size – Laparoscopy and resection

• ovary, fallopian tube, and broad ligament(contains fallopian tube and uterine artery)
• fallopian tube segments – intramural, isthmus, ampulla, and infundibulum

  • necrosis
  • calcification
  • cystic degeneration
  • hyalinization

• Form of endometriosis where there is aberrant endometrial tissue in the myometrium
• Diffuse or focal
• US - Sonographic appearance overlaps w/ fibroids, but presence of small cysts or hypoechoic areas or variation during menstrual cycle is suggestive of adenomyosis.
  • Irregular, myometrial, cystic spaces predominantly involving the posterior uterine wall, an enlarged uterus with a widened posterior wall (see Image 1), an eccentric endometrial cavity, and decreased uterine echogenicity without lobulations, contour abnormality, or mass effects (which is more commonly seen with leiomyomas). Sonograms may also show an ill-defined margin between the normal myometrium and the abnormal myometrium, as well as an elliptically shaped myometrial abnormality.

• MRI - Junctional zone thickness was 12 mm or greater. A maximum thickness of 8 mm or less usually excludes the disease. When the maximum junctional zone diameter is 8-12 mm, secondary findings such as high–signal-intensity foci on T1- or T2-weighted images, are necessary to make the diagnosis.
