Although APA was previously considered a benign lesion and treated conservatively, an increasing number of cases show that APA has a high rate of recurrence or residual disease and that it precedes the development of carcinoma. The clinical management of APA remains to be established. The aim of this study was to analyse the clinicopathological features of APA and discuss its diagnosis and prognosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Forty-four patients with APA were admitted to Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from 2005 to 2019, and their clinical and histopathologic features were evaluated. B-ultrasound was performed, and all the patients (n\u2009=\u200944) underwent hysteroscopy. Endometrium excision was performed by means of the four-step diagnosis and treatment method. Hysteroscopic transcervical resection (TCR) was performed in 5 patients with APA-H and 11 with APA-L. Except for one patient who underwent transcervical endometrial resection, all the patients underwent hysterectomy and salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy. Data from a median follow-up of 42\u00a0months (ranging from 3 to 174\u00a0months) were available for these patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pathological diagnosis were made according to the degree of abnormality of the APA surface glands, resulting in APA-L in 36 patients and APA-H in 8 patients. Among these patients, 28 (25 APA-L and 3 APA-H) were treated conservatively. The effect of the four-step diagnosis and treatment method as an APA therapy was excellent. During the follow-up, no evidence of recurrence was found.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>For patients with intracavitary lesions\u2009&gt;\u20091\u00a0cm, the hysteroscopic four-step diagnosis and treatment method and pathological diagnosis are the basis of clinical treatment. More than 30% of APA surface glands have complex structures characterized by branching and budding or other high-risk factors, such as endometrial hyperplasia, which are indications for hysterectomy. For patients who desire to become pregnant or to preserve the uterus, hysteroscopy with complete excision of the lesions should be the preferred treatment method. The patients should be treated and followed up closely with regular hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12905-022-01643-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,4]],"date-time":"2022-03-04T08:38:28Z","timestamp":1646383108000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Clinical analysis of 44 cases of atypical polypoid adenomyoma of the uterus"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Xin","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yinshu","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,4]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"1643_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"757","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rbmo.2020.12.003","volume":"42","author":"S Ferrero","year":"2021","unstructured":"Ferrero S, Scala C, Biscaldi E, Racca A, Leone Roberti Maggiore U, Barra F.
