Adenosis is a medical terminology used to describe a benign growth or enlargement of glandular tissues in the body. Synonyms for this condition include glandular enlargement, glandular hyperplasia, glandular hypertrophy, and glandular proliferation. These terms are often used interchangeably in medical literature and refer to the same underlying process. Adenosis can occur throughout the body, but is commonly found in the breast, prostate, and thyroid gland. While adenosis is generally considered a benign condition, it can sometimes be a precursor to cancerous growths and should be monitored closely by healthcare professionals. Treatment options for adenosis may vary depending on the location and severity of the condition.
