Müllerian adenosarcoma of the uterine cervix.
We present a tumor of the uterine cervix that was composed of histologically benign glandular epithelium and a malignant stromal component, justifying the term müllerian adenosarcoma. Ultrastructurally the stromal cells resemble the endometrial stromal cells, the tumor cells of an endolymphatic stromal myosis of the uterine cervix, and the stromal cells of a stromomyoma of the uterus. In addition there is evidence strongly suggesting a differentiation toward smooth muscle. The patient exhibited no evidence of disease one year after surgery.
