Background: The adverse perinatal outcome caused by adenomyosis has
been widely concerned recently, but little attention has been paid to whether the
positional relationship between placenta and adenomyotic lesion influences the
maternal and perinatal outcomes. Methods: A total of 311 women with
adenomyosis who were pregnant greater than 20 weeks gestation and delivered at
Women’s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine between January 2010 and
December 2021 were recruited. The positional relationships between placenta and
adenomyotic lesions were determined. The patients were divided into two
subgroups: group 1, placenta located on or above the adenomyotic lesion; and
group 2, placenta located far away from the adenomyotic lesion. The clinical data
of two groups were retrospectively analyzed. Results: We found a higher
rate of diffuse adenomyosis (62.65% vs. 46.21%, p = 0.01),
coexisting endometriosis (31.93% vs. 15.86%, p = 0.002),
preterm delivery (34.94% vs.15.17%, p
