Diffuse Uterine Adenomatoid Tumor in a Patient With Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection

Abstract: Uterine adenomatoid tumors are usually solitary lesions. Adenomatoid tumors diffusely infiltrating the entire myometrium have rarely been reported in the literature. A feature common to half of the reported cases of diffuse uterine adenomatoid tumor was an immunocompromised status of the patient caused by the medications for renal transplantation. In this article, we describe an unusual case of diffuse uterine adenomatoid tumor in a patient with chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Pelvic examination showed an… Show more

“…Genetically, the adenomatoid tumor is reported to be a TRAF7 mutation that drives aberrant NF‐kB pathway activation, unlike malignant mesothelioma 8 . Almost all adenomatoid tumors are solitary; only a few case reports have described multiple adenomatoid tumors occurring exclusively outside the genital tract 9–11 . There is no case report of >10 tumors with adenomatoid tumor, as in our patient's case.…”

“…There was no recurrence, malign transformation or matastasis reported in the follow-up of the patients with adenomatoid tumors. It was also suggested that it may be related to immunosupresive conditions like hapatitis C (15) or renal tranplant (16,17). Our patient was also asymptomatic and the diagnosis of adenomatoid tumor was done by the pathologic examination.…”

“…Los TA generalmente son nodulares, sin embargo, se han descrito casos difusos que infiltran prácticamente todo el miometrio. En la mitad de los reportes que hay en la literatura, estos últimos corresponden a casos en pacientes inmunodeprimidos (2,(21)(22)(23). Algunos autores creen que la variedad difusa podría corresponder a una entidad biológica distinta (24).…”

“…Este término fue utilizado por primera vez en 1945 por Golden y Ash (1). Se trata de tumores que suelen ser únicos, afectando mayoritariamente al aparato reproductor femenino, y principalmente al útero durante la edad reproductiva (2)(3)(4). También pueden encontrarse en el aparato genital masculino (5), glándula suprarrenal, linfonodos, mediastino, corazón, páncreas y pleura (6)(7)(8)(9).…”
