Papillary adenofibroma of the uterine cervix. A case report.
Papillary adenofibroma of the uterine cervix is a rare benign neoplasm with histologic characteristics similar to the ovarian adenofibroma. We report the case of a 46 years old patient who suffered menorrhagia. At colposcopic exam a polypoid neoformation was seen at the cervix uteri which was diagnosed as endocervical polyp and polypectomy followed. Only the histologic exam revealed the true nature of the tumor.
