"cystic adenomyosis, which is usually seen in middle aged women secondary to diffusely spread adenomyotic foci in the uterus. In cystic adenomyosis, the cysts are typically small (< 5 mm), due to periodic haemorrhage in ectopic endometrium, and on microscopy or imaging, they lack typical endometrial lining and uterus-like smooth muscle organisation 1"
"Many authors consider ACUM a congenital anomaly; however, other theories of development, including heterotopias and metaplasia, exist. The condition differs from cystic adenomyosis, where the cysts are usually small and do not have a typical endometrial lining or uterus-like muscle, as seen in ACUM. The main uterus does not show features of adenomyosis, but the myometrium of ACUM may show features of adenomyosis."

"no adenomyosis in the main uterus, but features of adenomyosis can be seen in ACUM itself"
"It can be difficult to differentiate ACUM from a unicornuate uterus with obstructed rudimentary horn. Hysterosalpingography can help in such cases."
