title: Ovarian adenosarcoma with extensive deciduoid morphology arising in endometriosis: a case report.
abstract: A case of müllerian adenosarcoma arising in ovarian endometriosis is reported in which the whole of the mesenchymal component exhibited striking deciduoid morphology, a phenomenon that has not been previously described. The patient was not taking hormonal preparations. We discuss the differential diagnosis and the possible pathogenesis of the deciduoid stromal alteration.
