Abnormal separation or breaking apart of glandular tissue, often caused by blockage, inflammation, or surgical trauma.
From Greek 'aden' (gland) + 'diastasis' (separation, standing apart). This surgical and pathological term appeared in medical literature in the late 19th century to describe the mechanical separation or disruption of gland architecture.
Adenodiastasis shows how glands are held together by delicate biological architecture—when that structure breaks apart, the gland stops working properly, which is why even small injuries to glands can cause big functional problems.
