title: A cystic adenomatoid tumor of the uterus simulating lymphangioma grossly.
abstract: We are reporting a rare case of an adenomatoid tumor of the uterus having multicystic gross appearance. A 32-year-old woman complaining of dysmenorrhea had multicystic mass lesions on the posterior wall of the right cornual region of the uterus. The specimen showed a honeycomb appearance with mucoid content. Microscopically, numerous gland-like spaces lined with low cuboidal cells were observed beneath the serosa, and mucopolysaccharide material accumulated in the cystic spaces forming, honeycomb-like lesions surrounded by myometrial tissue. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the 9th day after the operation. "Cystic adenomatoid tumor of the uterus" was diagnosed. The patient is being followed up continuously, so far without recurrence.
