This paper is a case report describing a large infiltrating extrauterine mullerian adenosarcoma arising from recurrent deep pelvic endometriosis, with emphasis on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. The authors note that extrauterine mullerian adenosarcoma typically includes a benign glandular component and a low-grade sarcomatous stromal component, and they frame this report because prior descriptions of MR features for tumors arising from deep pelvic endometriosis have been scarce. As a single-case description, the main limitation is that the paper does not establish generalizable MRI patterns across patients. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reports extrauterine mullerian adenosarcoma arising from recurrent deep pelvic endometriosis and characterizes the associated MR findings.

Abstract

Extrauterine m¨ullerian adenosarcoma is a very rare tumor and it is characterized by a benign glandular component and a low-grade sarcomatous stromal component. These tumors have been reported to arise from ovarian or extraovarian endometriosis. However, there are scant reports on the MR findings of extrauterine mu ¨llerian adenosarcoma arising from deep pelvic endometriosis. We describe here a case of a large infiltrating extrauterine m¨ullerian adenosarcoma arising from recurrent deep pelvic endometriosis and we discuss its MR findings.
