Adenomatoid tumors are benign, usually small lesions with a
predilection for the male and female genital tracts. In the female
genital tract, they may be found within the wall of fallopian
tubes or beneath the uterine serosa near the uterine cornu. The
term leiomyoadenomatoid tumor is used to describe a variant of
adenomatoid tumor with a prominent smooth muscle component. In
the present case report we describe a rare case of leiomyoadenomatoid
tumor which was incidentally found in a hysterectomy specimen
performed for symptomatic fibroid.
We report a case of leiomyoadenomatoid tumor of the uterus in a 51
year old female who presented with symptomatic fibroid.
Extensive literature search has resulted in only 3 cases of
leiomyoadenomatoid tumors of the uterus. We would like to report
an additional case of this rare tumor.
