On the nosologic significance and competence of use of the term «Endometrioid disease»

Abstract

The problem of endometriosis terminology is discussed in the paper; the nosologic significance, expediency, and competence of use of the term «endometrioid disease» is shown. Clinicopathologic parallels are drawn by the example of the most frequent organ localizations of that pathology — adenomyosis, ovarian endometriosis, and extragenital endometriosis; the community of some components of pathogenesis, determining the process progress, clinical presentations, morphological structure of heterotopias, and directions of morphogenesis are shown. Introduction of the term «endometrioid disease» into practice determines the possibility to optimize the clinical and morphological diagnostics of endometriosis taking into account the organ localization, stage of the process, morphofunctional form, and directions of morphogenesis, which is necessary to select the adequate method of treatment and personal prognosis
