The Veteran's claim for service connection for adenomyosis and residuals of a myomectomy was reopened, and both conditions were granted. The case is remanded to determine the etiology of an enlarged uterus.
The deciding factor: An enlarged uterus must be evaluated separately from existing service-connected conditions as it may have different causes or symptoms.
