Résumé :

The use of in vitro three-dimensional ultrasound examination with needle stereotaxis after hysterectomy is illustrated in a case of extensive adenomyosis. The quality of the images at in vitro ultrasonography was compared with the quality of the images obtained at the preoperative ultrasound examination. The ultrasound findings were compared with the macroscopical and the microscopical examination. This new approach helps in indicating the precise location of the preoperatively identified adenomyosis lesions to the pathologist. This may optimize the diagnostic accuracy of the histological examination in women with adenomyosis.
