ABSTRACT
STUDY OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the association between bladder deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and anterior focal adenomyosis of the outer myometrium (aFAOM) diagnosed by preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).DESIGN:
An observational, cross-sectional study using prospectively collected data (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).SETTING:
Single university tertiary referral center. PATIENTS All nonpregnant women younger than 42 years who had undergone complete surgical exeresis of endometriotic lesions. For each patient a standardized questionnaire was completed during a face-to-face interview conducted by the surgeon during the month preceding the surgery. Only women with preoperative standardized uterine MRI were retained for this study.INTERVENTIONS:
Thirty-nine women with histologically proven bladder DIE and an available preoperative MRI were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into 2 groups women with aFAOM (aFAOM (+), n = 19) and women without aFAOM (aFAOM (-), n = 20). Both groups were compared for general characteristics, medical history, MRI findings, and disease severity. MEASUREMENTS AND MAINRESULTS:
Nineteen patients (48.7%) with bladder DIE had aFAOM at preoperative MRI. The rate of associated diffuse adenomyosis was similar in the 2 groups (63.2% [n = 12] vs 73.7% [n = 14]; p = .48). The rate of an associated ovarian endometrioma (OMA) was significantly lower in the aFAOM (+) group (10.5% [n = 2] vs 40.0% [n = 8]; p = .03). There were fewer associated intestinal DIE lesions in the aFAOM (+) group compared with the aFAOM (-) group (26.3% vs 75.0%; p = .02), with lower involvement of the pouch of Douglas (26.3% vs 70%; p < .01). Total American Society for Reproductive Medicine score was significantly lower in the aFAOM (+) group (13.8 ± 12.2 vs 62.2 ± 46.2; p < .01).CONCLUSION:
aFAOM is present in only half of women with bladder DIE and appears to be associated with lower associated posterior DIE.Palavras-chave
