Background:
Müllerian adenosarcomas of the cervix are composed of benign epithelial and malignant stromal components. The purpose of this report is to describe the clinical and histologic difficulties in diagnosis and to propose fertility-preserving management of low-grade lesions.
Case:
A 14-year-old girl presented with a friable lesion found to originate from the anterior cervical lip. Initially, clinical suspicion was for sarcoma botryoides, however, pathologic evaluation revealed a low-grade cervical Müllerian adenosarcoma. Cold knife conization was performed, and the mass was resected with clear margins.
Summary And Conclusion:
Müllerian adenosarcoma of the cervix is difficult to diagnose in adolescents because of features more commonly associated with alternative diagnoses. For patients with low-grade lesions desiring future fertility, local excision with close follow-up is reasonable.
