Summary
Endometrial adenofibroma, a rare benign uterine tumor, requires differentiation from malignant lesions like adenosarcoma. This report details three cases, highlighting clinical and histopathologic features for accurate diagnosis and management.
Area of Science:
- Gynecologic pathology
- Mullerian tumors
Background:
- Endometrial adenofibroma is a rare benign Mullerian mixed tumor.
- Distinguishing it from malignant uterine lesions, such as adenosarcoma, is crucial.
Observation:
- Three cases of endometrial adenofibroma are presented.
- Patients' ages were 31, 55, and 63 years.
- Polypoid uterine cavity lesions measured 13 cm, 2 cm, and 5 cm.
Findings:
- Two patients underwent polypectomy; one had a hysterectomy.
- Histopathologic review confirmed benign epithelial and mesenchymal components.
Implications:
- Accurate diagnosis of endometrial adenofibroma is essential for appropriate patient management.
- Early detection and treatment lead to favorable outcomes.
