Adenomyosis is best described when the endometrium or the inner lining of the uterus breaks through the muscle wall of the uterus while on the other hand endometriosis occurs when the endometrium grows on the outside of the uterus.

Adenomyosis means addition of tissue within uterus and endometriosis means addition tissue outside the uterus
