  2. Adenomyosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenomyosis

    Adenomyosis is an often progressing condition. It is advocated that adenomyosis poses no increased risk for cancer development. However, both entities could coexist and the endometrial tissue within the myometrium could harbor endometrioid adenocarcinoma, with potentially deep myometrial invasion. [35]

  3. Myometrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myometrium

    The myometrium is located between the endometrium (the inner layer of the uterine wall) and the serosa or perimetrium (the outer uterine layer).. The inner one-third of the myometrium (termed the junctional or sub-endometrial layer) appears to be derived from the Müllerian duct, while the outer, more predominant layer of the myometrium appears to originate from non-Müllerian tissue and is ...

  4. Placenta accreta spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placenta_accreta_spectrum

    Placenta accreta occurs when all or part of the placenta attaches abnormally to the myometrium (the muscular layer of the uterine wall).Three grades of abnormal placental attachment are defined according to the depth of attachment and invasion into the muscular layers of the uterus:

  5. Extravillous trophoblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extravillous_trophoblast

    This changes them from high-resistance low-flow vessels into large dilated vessels that provide good perfusion, and oxygenation to the developing placenta. When invasion is shallow it is inadequate, the arteries remain narrow at their openings into the intervillous space, and is the cause of pre-eclampsia, fetal growth restriction and still birth.

  6. Endometrial cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometrial_cancer

    Myometrial invasion and involvement of the pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes are the most commonly seen patterns of spread. [2] A Stage 0 is sometimes included, in this case it is referred to as "carcinoma in situ". [9]

  7. Adenomyoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenomyoma

    Uterine adenomyoma, the localized form of uterine adenomyosis, is a tumor composed of endometrial gland tissue and smooth muscle in the myometrium. [2] Adenomyomas containing endometrial glands are also found outside of the uterus, most commonly on the uterine adnexa but can also develop at distant sites outside of the pelvis . [ 3 ]

  8. Syncytiotrophoblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncytiotrophoblast

    Image showing trophoblast differentiated into the two layers of cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast during implantation. It is the outer layer of the trophoblasts and actively invades the uterine wall, during implantation, rupturing maternal capillaries and thus establishing an interface between maternal blood and embryonic extracellular fluid, facilitating passive exchange of material ...

  9. Uterus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterus

    From innermost to outermost, these layers are the endometrium, myometrium, and perimetrium. [7] The endometrium is the inner epithelial layer, along with its mucous membrane, of the mammalian uterus. It has a basal layer and a functional layer; the functional layer thickens and then is shed during the menstrual cycle or estrous cycle.
