Uterine Adenosarcoma: An Unpredictable Enemy

Abstract

This is the case of an elderly woman who presented clinically aggressive recurrence of adenosarcoma without clear unfavorable prognostic factors at first diagnosis. Clinical treatment of patient including surgery and the process of histopathologic diagnosis is described. This case highlights that many aspects of biology of mixed epithelial-mesenchymal malignant uterine tumors needs to be better clarified and even if uterine adenosarcoma has been defined as low grade sarcoma, it can behave as a very aggressive and pleomorphic disease.
