Popis: Aim: This study aimed to investigate the mammographic features in women with adenomyosis to determine the relationship between adenomyosis and breast disease. Methods: In this study, the mammographic features of women with adenomyosis were recorded. For the control group, women who had mammography without any gynaecologic complaints and with normal pelvic ultrasound were selected. Results: The adenomyosis group had higher breast density, more micro and macro calcifications, and higher BIRADS-mammography classification than the control group. When patients with low mammographic density (Density A - B, n = 80) and high mammographic density (Density C - D, n = 60) were compared, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups except the presence of adenomyosis. When patients were compared according to the BIRADS 1 - 2 (n=114) and BIRADS 3 - 4 (n=26) category, age ≥ 49.5, gravidity ≥ 3, parity ≥ 2, and the presence of adenomyosis were significantly higher in the BIRADS 3 - 4 category. In the logistic regression analysis, the presence of adenomyosis was found to be the sole factor for BIRADS 3-4 category. Conclusion: The results of our study suggested that patients with adenomyosis have an increased risk of higher mammographic breast density and BIRADS 3 classification.
