[Endometrial adenosarcoma with rhabdomyoblastic differenciation].

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
