[Pathological analysis of adenomatoid tumours in the female genital tract]

A review of 18 cases of adenomatoid tumours in the female genital tract was carried out. There are 14 cases in uterus, 3 in fallopian tubes and 1 in ovary. The incidence of adenomatoid tumour in uterus, fallopian tubes and ovary is 3.1%, 0.5% and 0.2% respectively. The result showed that the uterus adenomatoid tumour is more common than fallopian tube and ovary (P < 0.01). All of the 18 cases are found in internal genital tract. The incidence of adenomatoid tumors is increased with the size of surfaces serosa or germinal epithelium in different part. Majority adenomatoid tumour are closing to the folding region of coelomic epithelium or midline of uterus. These findings suggest that adenomatoid tumour may be originated from mesothelia.
