title: [Endometrial adenosarcoma with rhabdomyoblastic differenciation].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Mixed mullerian tumours are uncommon endometrial neoplasms that are composed by a combination of mesencymal elements and epithelial elements. They own their denomination to the mullerian origin of their components wich derive from the paramesonephric ducts. According to the benignity or the malignity of each component, four types of mixed mullerian tumours are individualised. Adenosarcoma is composed of benign glandular elements and sarcomatous, usually low-grade, stromal elements.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  We report a case of an endometrial adenosarcoma in a 59-year-old woman. Clinicopathological caracteristics and the etiopathogeny of this uncommun neoplasm will be discussed.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 59-year-old women complained metrorrhagia assearated pair since three months. Vaginal examination showed an incresed valure. Copathological U.S and abdominer CT showed an important. No ather turner were detected hysterrchomy with dilated annexetny werre performed. Pathological examan concluded to tummor with animation of mesenchynal and le pthel elements
