“…To limit the scope to extragenital cases, we excluded those cases originating in the uterus, cervix, adnexa, and vagina. In addition to the 3 aforementioned adenosarcoma cases associated with gastrointestinal/hepatic endometriosis, we identified 18 cases of extragenital adenosarcoma for which treatment and follow-up information was reported [4-6, 16, 17]. We identified five previous cases associated with endometriosis.…”

“…In 2 of these 5 patients, sarcomatous overgrowth was described. In the first case, reported by Dincer, a patient with a long history of recurrent endometriomas developed multiple pelvic masses and a large peri-splenic mass [17]. The pelvic masses contained multiple foci of endometriosis and low-grade sarcoma, while the perisplenic mass contained a high-grade pure sarcoma accounting for 50% of its mass.…”

Background Müllerian adenosarcoma is a rare mixed epithelial-mesenchymal tumor. An extragenital site of origin and sarcomatous overgrowth are associated with aggressive clinical behavior. Case We present a rare case of extragenital adenosarcoma with sarcomatous overgrowth and coexistent endometrioisis. She was treated with initial cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy. She underwent a second surgery for management of a high-grade bowel obstruction, due to pathologically confirmed recurrent intraperitoneal adenosarcoma. A complete clinical response was achieved with liposomal doxorubicin, and the patient remains disease-free eighteen months after completion of chemotherapy. Conclusion Liposomal doxorubicin appears to be an active agent for the treatment of adenosarcoma with sarcomatous overgrowth. In addition, we conclude from our review of all reported cases of extragenital adenosarcoma that concurrent endometriosis may represent a favorable prognostic factor.

Malignant mixed mullerian tumors (MMMTs), also known as carcinosarcoma because they contain both carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements are aggressive tumors, which usually arise in the uterus and ovary. Extragenital carcinosarcomas are extremely rare and most cases develop from the peritoneum. To our knowledge, only 29 cases have been described in English literature. Here we report a case of a primary carcinosarcoma of the pelvic peritoneum with five-year disease-free survival after managing the patient with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

“…It occurs mainly in the uterus of postmenopausal women but can occur in adolescents and young adults [2]. Extrauterine locations such as ovaries, cervix, vagina, peritoneum and Pouch of Douglas also had been reported [3][4][5][6]. To date, this neoplasm has been reported in only 10 young adult and adolescent girls.…”

Introduction: Müllerian adenosarcoma is a rare tumor of the cervix. typical adenosarcoma presents as a large polypoid mass occupying the endometrial cavity. It occurs mainly in postmenopausal women. It is a very rare occurrence in adolescent girls and young adults. to date, this neoplasm has been reported in only 10 young adult and adolescent girls. the tumor tends to recur locally rather than to disseminate to distant areas. case report: A 23-year-old female, single, sexually not active and nulliparous presented to a private hospital for complaints of prolonged menstruation of six months duration. speculum examination revealed cauliflower like growth arising from the cervix. Polypectomy and hysteroscopic diagnostic dilatation and curettage was done. Histopathology of the specimens showed cervical polyp with features of welldifferentiated Müllerian adenosarcoma of low grade with endometrium in secretory phase. A total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingooophorectomy, omentectomy, pelvic and
