The retrospective analysis allowed us to reveal the clinical, echographic, and histological characteristics of the sclerotic type of adenomyosis in these patients.</p>sclerotic adenomyosisultrasound findingslaparoscopyhistologyсклеротическая форма аденомиозаэхографиялапароскопиягистология[Айламазян Э.К., Ярмолинская М.И., Молотков А.С., Цицкарава Д.З.
