Abstract
The authors report a case of müllerian adenosarcoma in an 86 year old woman. This tumor is characterized by the association of proliferative benign epithelium with a sarcomatous mesenchyma. It was described for the first time in 1974 by Clement and Scully. It is a cancer of decreased malignancy, revealed either by isolated metrorrhagias, or by an increase of the size of the uterus in a post-menopausal woman. Its course shows the occurrence of local recurrences and pulmonary or peritoneal metastases. The only appropriate treatment is total abdominal hysterectomy with salpingo-oophorectomy.
