[Case of atypical polypoid adenomyoma of the uterine cevix]
Abstract:
Atypical polypoid adenomyoma (APA) is a rare benign polypoid tumor occuring in young reproductive age women. There are no specific clinical features of APA. Grossly the tumor presents as a small polypoid lession in the low uterin cavum segment and cervical canal, mimicring infiltative endocervical or endometrial carcinoma. Microscopicaly APA consists of irregular glands, as endometrial with mild cellular atypia and diffuse smooth-mussle stroma. We present a case of APA of the uterine cervix in a young woman in regard to the diagnostical and treatment obstacles usually accompaning this rare pathology.
