Papiller adenofibroma of the cervix: A case report

Abstract

Uterine adenofibroma is a rare benign neoplasm that is classified into the mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor group. It typically affects the endometrium; involvement of the cervix is an unusual condition. We present a 55-year-old woman with the complaint of perimenopausal genital bleeding. Her gynecologic examination revealed a firm, pedunculated 2×2 cm polypoid lesion on the cervix. A diagnostic polypectomy was performed and histopathological findings of the cervical biopsy specimen confirmed the diagnosis cervical adenofibroma. Although this lesion appears to be histological benign, multiple recurrences, local invasion, and involvement by adenocarcinoma have been reported. Therefore, total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophorectomy was performed. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.
