Definition: Adenometritis is a diagnosis in the radiology department for an area of inflammation or swelling that can occur within a skin lesion. It is named after the two main regions that are involved: the epidermis, which includes the outer layer of the skin and contains the cells that make up the skin, and the dermal (or subcutaneous) layers, which are located beneath the surface of the skin. Adenometritis can occur in a variety of diseases or conditions, including: - Acne - Psoriasis - Seborrheic dermatitis - Inflamed skin lesions (like eczema and psoriatic plaques) - Scleroderma and other autoimmune disorders - Certain types of cancers like melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma - Arthritis In the context of radiology, it can be described as an area of inflammation or swelling that is located within a skin lesion. The precise definition varies depending on the type of adenometritis and the medical imaging techniques used to diagnose it. Some examples include: - Intestinal adenomatous polyp (adenomyosis) - Esophageal adenomatous polyp - Lymphatic adenomatous polyp - Dermatogenous adenomatous polyps It is important to note that a diagnosis of adenometritis can be confirmed by imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT scan or MRI. These tests can provide a clearer picture of the area of inflammation and help determine the underlying cause for the lesion.
