Abstract:
Mullerian adenosarcoma is an uncommon variant of MQllerian mixed tumors of the uterus and a mixed, biphasic neoplasia in which the mesenchymal component is malignant and the epithelial component is benign. In contrast to typical malignant Miillerian mixed tumor(MMMT), Miillerian adenosarcomas are usually tumors of low malignant potential. These tumom usually present as pedunculated endometrial masses in postmenopausal women with vaginal bleeding. We experienced a case of Miillerian adenosarcoma of the uterus with squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix and report with a brief review of literatures.
