background: mullerian adenosarcoma, a rare tumor, is composed of mixed mesenchymal and epithelial elements. the epithelial component is typically benign and admixed with malignant sarcomatous stroma. this tumor can be distinguished in approximately 8% of all uterus sarcomas and commonly originates in the endometrium as a growing polypoid mass in the uterine cavity. all age groups are affected b...

INTRODUCTION Uterine adenosarcoma is a rarely observed polypoid tumor with a mixed benign epithelial element and malignant stromal component. The treatment is total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. It could be difficult to diagnose and associated to lymphovascular invasion. CASE PRESENTATION A 45-year-old caucasian uniparous woman presented with uterine bleeding. She had sev...

Uterine adenosarcoma (AS) are rare tumors and have more favorable outcomes than the aggressive uterine carcinosarcomas. Uterine adenosarcoma with sarcomatous overgrowth (ASSO) is a variant form of AS and exhibits aggressive growth of tumor and the prognosis is relatively poor compared with typical AS. Usually patterns of metastasis have been known to behave like endometrial carcinoma and spread...

Adenosarcoma of the uterus is a mixed epithelial-mesenchymal tumor containing benign glandular epithelial component with sarcomatous mesenchymal stroma. This rare tumor accounts for only 8% of all uterine sarcomas (1). It has been suggested that some cases of the uterine adenosarcoma may be associated with hyperestrinism due to the administration of tamoxifen and prior radiation exposure (1-3)....

INTRODUCTION Primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the uterus is extremely rare. They occur as either pure primitive neuroectodermal tumors or admixed with neoplasms of mullerian origin. CASE PRESENTATION A case of uterine primitive neuroectodermal tumor with adenosarcoma in a 50-year-old Asian Indian woman is presented. Histologically, the neoplasm displayed perivascular pseudorosettes and occa...

Adenosarcoma is a rare tumor which consists of benign glandular epithelium and malignant mesenchymal component. Here we report a case of adenosarcoma of the uterine corpus. Case Presentation. A 59-year-old woman presented with vaginal bleeding and visited a local clinic. She had a uterine tumor pointed out and was referred to our hospital. Ultrasound scans revealed a large heterogeneous mass oc...

Müllerian adenosarcoma is a rare, mixed tumor that can occur throughout the female genital tract, but is most commonly found in the uterus. Ovarian adenosarcoma is rarer and has a poorer prognosis than uterine adenosarcoma. Data on the clinicopathological features of ovarian adenosarcoma are limited, and, due to its rarity, the management is controversial. The authors report a case of a 25-year...

Adenosarcomas of the uterus are very rarely observed and diagnosed. In this report, we present a case of a uterine adenosarcoma that was diagnosed in February 2002.

Toremifene is an anti-estrogen which has been shown to be effective in the treatment of breast cancer, and is thought to be a less uterotrophic agent than tamoxifen. The risk assessment concerning endometrial cancer has been inconclusive because of its rare use up to the mid-1990s. We report a case of an adenosarcoma, which is a very rare type of uterine malignancy, after toremifene treatment f...
