Resumen

Intravascular adenomyosis is an entity described for years in the literature, but its clinical-pathologic correlation hasn´t been studied in detail. Objective: To study the prevalence of adenomyosis including intravascular involvement, as well as available literature review about this pathology. Material and Methods: A retrospective observational study has been conducted in our hospital analysing hysterectomies specimens from January to December 2020. Results: 447 hysterectomies specimens have been analysed, 68 with adenomyosis and just one with intravascular involvement. Conclusion: Intravascular involvement adenomyosis is a rare entity but with potential etiopathogenic consequence.
