Papillary adenofibroma of the uterine corpus, a rare Müllerian tumor, was diagnosed in a 31-year-old woman presenting with vaginal bleeding. Histological analysis confirmed a benign mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor, necessitating differentiation from uterine adenosarcoma.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Pathology
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Uterine adenofibromas are exceptionally rare mixed tumors of Müllerian origin.
  • Distinguishing benign lesions from malignant uterine neoplasms is critical for appropriate patient management.

Observation:

  • A 31-year-old woman presented with vaginal bleeding and a large, polypoid mass protruding through the cervix.
  • Pelvic ultrasound identified a polypoid cystic mass originating from the uterus.
  • Histological examination of the resected mass revealed benign epithelial and mesenchymal components.

Findings:

  • The case presented is a papillary adenofibroma of the uterine corpus.
  • The tumor exhibited a benign histological profile, characterized by mixed epithelial and mesenchymal elements.

  • The lesion was successfully treated with polypectomy.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate differentiation of uterine adenofibroma from malignant tumors like adenosarcoma is essential.
    • This case highlights the importance of thorough histological evaluation for rare uterine neoplasms.
    • Understanding the benign nature of adenofibroma guides clinical and therapeutic decisions.
