Adenofibromas of the uterine cervix, which are classified as benign tumors of mixed epithelium and mesenchymal cells, are extremely rare. Most common symptom is usually abnormal genital bleeding. It is very difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Recommended method of treatment is total hysterectomy, because it usually recurs. We experienced a case of adenofibroma of the uterine cervix with increased CA125, so report it with a review of the literature.

Uterine adenofibroma is an extremely rare benign biphasic neoplasm that is classified into mixed m?llerian tumor. This mass lesion appears to be clinical and histologically benign but it should be differentiated from other malignant neoplasms of uterus. We have experienced a case of uterine adenofibroma in a 53-year-old woman and report this case with a brief review of literature.

Ovarian leiomyoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor, accounting for only 1% of all benign ovarian neoplasm. Most patients are asymptomatic and the tumors are usually found incidentally during operation or at autopsies. Ovarian adenofibroma is a rare benign tumor which originates from the germinal lining and the stroma of the ovary. This tumor may be solid, semisolid or cystic, depending on the relative amount of the epithelial and stromal component. We have experienced a case of ovarian leiomyoma accompanied with ovarian serous adenofibroma in a 42-year-old woman and report this case with a brief review of literature.

A case of a 17 years old Korean adolescent who suffered from secondary hydronephrosis and chronic pyelonephritis of the left kidney due to a obstructive adenofibroma, a rare tumor, arising at the ureteropelvic junction of the left renal pelvis was presented.

Ovarian clear cell adenocarcinomas (CCACs) are frequently associated with endometriosis and, less often with clear cell adenofibromas (CCAFs). We encountered a case of ovarian CCAC arising from benign and borderline adenofibromas of the clear cell and endometrioid types with endometriosis in a 53-year-old woman. Regions of the adenofibromas showed transformation to CCAC and regions of the endometriosis showed atypical endometriotic cysts. This case demonstrates that CCAC can arise from CCAF or endometriosis.

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 for 5 years in a breast cancer patient. After 1 year of toremifene use, the patient had a benign Mullerian adenofibroma. After an additional 4 years of toremifene treatment, the endometrial polypoid lesion was transformed into a Mullerian adenosarcoma. Although toremifene is a promising anti-estrogenic agent in the treatment of breast cancer patients, clinicians should not neglect the possibility of a uterine malignancy.

Biliary adenofibroma is a rare tumor with a bile duct origin characterized by a complex tubulocystic non-mucin secreting biliary epithelium with abundant fibrous stroma. The MRI features of biliary adenofibroma are not well established. The authors encountered two patients with biliary adenofibroma and reviewed the literature focusing on the MRI findings. A well-circumscribed multicystic tumor with septal enhancement and no intrahepatic bile duct communication may be the characteristic MRI findings of biliary adenofibroma.

Adenofibroma is an extremely rare benign mullerian mixed tumor composed of epithelium and mesenchymal cells. Most uterine adenofibromas occur in the endometrium, but they rarely protrude into the vagina. To date, only a few such cases with the imaging findings have been reported. Therefore, we report here on the sonographic and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of a case of endometrial adenofibroma protruding into the vaginal cavity in a 28-year-old woman. The uterine adenofibroma appeared as a large intracavitary echogenic mass containing multiple small internal cysts, and it was distending the vaginal cavity on transrectal sonography. T2- weighted MR images showed a large intracavitary mass with heterogeneous high signal intensity protruding into the vaginal cavity. On gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted MR images, heterogeneous septa-like enhancement was noted in the mass. Although uterine adenofibroma is extremely rare, adenofibroma can be suggested as a possible diagnosis when an intracavitary uterine mass, with multiple internal small cystic components and enhancing septa-like structures, is protruding into the vaginal cavity on imaging.

A clinical observation was made on the renal tumors of the in-patients in the department of Urology, Chonnam National University Hospital during the periods from March, 1968 to Feb., 1971 and the following results were obtained. 1. During the period, of 350 cases (275 male and 75 females) hospitalized, 13 cases had tumors of kidneys giving a rate of 3.71%. Among the 13 cases, 9 cases were male and 4 cases were female with ratio of 2.3 to 1. 2. Age distribution ranged from 2 year old to 65 year old with average of 30 year old of 13 cases, 5 cases (39%) were seen under the age of 10 years, and 4 cases (31%) were seen over the age of 50 years. 3. Tumors involved right side in 8 cases, left side in 5 cases. 4. The most common complaints on admission were palpable mass (61%), pain (31%) and hematuria (31%) in order. 5. Excretory urogram was taken in 12 cases. In 6 cases, the diseased kidney was not visualized. Remaining 6 cases gave compression deformities compatible with renal tumor. Retrograde pyelogram was performed in 6 cases. 6. 12 patients underwent nephrectomy (trans-abdominal approach was in 6 cases, extraperitoneal approach in 6 cases. 7. Renal cell cancer was observed in 5 cases, Wilms' tumor in 3 cases, neuroblastoma in 2 cases, adenofibroma of pelvis in 1 case, and transitional cell cancer of pelvis in 1 case. 8. Mean weight of removed tumors was 704 gm.
