ABSTRACT

A female patient with 68 years old with a history of postmenopausal vaginal bleeding of 8 months of evolution accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen that the physical examination revealed a slightly enlarged uterus. Diagnostic curettage was performed, which reported the presence of a mesenchymal tumor in the uterus and deciding to perform hysterectomy. In the histopathological study, a uterine adenosarcoma was diagnosed with overgrowth of the sarcomatous component. The adenosarcomas are rare tumors in which there is a benign glandular epithelial component and a malignant mesenchymal component. Mullerian adenosarcomas with overgrowth of the sarcomatous component behave aggressively and are frequently associated with postoperative recurrence or metastasis.
