AbstractUterine adenosarcoma is a rare tumor composed of benign epithelium in combination with malignant mesenchymal components. Misdiagnosis is common due to the lack of specific clinical manifestations and the rarity of such tumors in young age groups. The mean age at diagnosis is 58.6 years, and <10% of patients are younger than 40 years. Herein, we describe a case of a 19-year girl who presented with worsening menorrhagia. Her ultrasound revealed multiple heterogeneous masses in the uterine cavity. Intraoperatively, a small piece of grayish-white tumor tissue was sent for the frozen section, but the results did not confirm malignancy. She underwent hysteroscopy, laparoscopic hysterectomy, and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Histopathologic examination finally confirmed uterine adenosarcoma. The patient had no evidence of residual tumor or recurrence during six months of follow-up. Key Words: Uterus, Adenosarcoma, Mixed tumor.
