An 85-year-old woman had a 7-year history of recurrent uterine adenosarcoma. One year after curettage-related uterine perforation, she developed a pelvic mass that was attached to the uterine serosa and was histologically identical to her endometrial lesions. The pelvic neoplasm probably resulted from implantation of tumor through the myometrial tear and is the first reported example of serosal adenosarcoma following myometrial perforation. The definition of sarcomatous stroma in Müllerian adenosarcoma, and thus its separation from adenofibroma, has not been delineated. A review of the literature indicates, however, that lesions recurring after hysterectomy have greater than three mitotic figures per 10 high-power fields. Incompletely excised neoplasms, treated by dilation and curettage only, often regrow, regardless of mitotic rate. Adenosarcoma may have a deceptively bland low-power pattern and must be differentiated from adenofibroma and benign polyps.
