Mullerian adenosarcoma of the uterine cervix.
Two cases of mullerian adenosarcoma with heterologous elements which occurred in uterine cervix and had a gross appearance of sarcoma botyroides are reported. Histologically, the tumours were composed of an admixture of benign appearing glands and a sarcomatous stroma, with heterologous elements consisting of skeletal muscle, bone and cartilage. No malignant epithetial components were observed. Indications are that, the prognosis of these tumours are much better than the usual malignant mixed mullerian tumours.
