title: Female adnexal tumor of wolffian origin.
abstract: We describe a female adnexal tumor of probable wolffian origin with stage 2B disease. The presence of peritoneal implants suggests a more aggressive clinical course than is usually expected. We present the findings of light microscopic and ultrastructural evaluation as well as those of immunohistochemical and DNA ploidy analysis, which, to our knowledge, have not been previously described for this type of tumor.
