Abstract

We describe a rare case of extrauterine adenosarcoma, the first arising in the Pouch of Douglas, in a 49-year-old premenopausal woman with an elevated CA 125. The tumor consisted of benign glandular and malignant stromal elements. There was no associated endometriosis. Previously reported cases of extragenital adenosarcomas are reviewed.
