Müllerian adenosarcoma of the endometrium: review of the literature and report of two cases.
The author reports two cases of müllerian adenosarcoma (MAS) in the endometrium in patients aged 60 and 73 years. Both were treated by total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The 60-year-old patient is alive without signs of recurrence or metastases 3 years after the operation. The other patient, who received postoperative vaginal radium therapy, died of disseminated abdominal metastases 7 months after the operation. Only two cases of MAS leading to death within less than 1 year have been reported so far.
