Two- and three-dimensional ultrasonographic features related to histopathology of the uterine endometrial-myometrial junctional zone.

A slightly thickened and/or irregular junctional zone corresponds to a histopathologically defined serrated junctional zone. This study emphasizes three distinct appearances of the junctional zone: adenomyosis of the inner myometrium, junctional zone disease (serrated junctional zone) and linear junctional zone. This classification may be useful in future clinical studies.
