Malignant neoplasm of uterine adnexa

Last edited: 4/15/2026

Overview

Adenosarcoma uteri is a rare, low-grade malignant neoplasm originating from the uterine adnexa, characterized by a biphasic structure comprising benign epithelial and malignant stromal components 1.

Diagnosis

  • Biphasic tumor architecture with benign epithelial and malignant stromal elements
  • Histopathological examination essential for diagnosis 1
  • Imaging (e.g., ultrasound, MRI) to assess tumor extent and local invasion 1
  • Management

  • Surgical excision (hysterectomy with adnexectomy) is the primary treatment 1
  • Adjuvant radiation therapy may be considered for high-risk features 1
  • Chemotherapy is typically reserved for advanced or recurrent disease, though specific regimens are not detailed in the abstract 1
  • Special Populations

  • No specific details provided regarding management in pregnancy, pediatrics, elderly, or with comorbidities 1
  • Key Recommendations

  • Confirm diagnosis through histopathological examination of biopsy specimens (Evidence: Expert opinion 1)
  • Primary treatment involves complete surgical resection including hysterectomy and adnexectomy (Evidence: Expert opinion 1)
  • Consider adjuvant radiation therapy for patients with high-risk pathological features (Evidence: Expert opinion 1)
