title: [Adenofibroma and adenosarcoma of the uterus in young women].
abstract: We report on two similar cases of young women with irregular menstrual bleeding. Curettage and biopsy revealed an adenofibroma of the uterus in case 1 (31 yrs) and an uterine adenosarcoma in case 2 (30 yrs). Hysterectomy was subsequently performed in both patients: histological examination of the hysterectomy specimen showed no remnants of the tumour in case 1. There was adenosarcoma tissue in the uterine cavity of case 2 but no myometrial infiltration. The difficulties of differential diagnosis of uterine soft tissue tumours in young women are discussed and the literature is reviewed.
