Abstract
Müllerian adenosarcoma of the uterus has been regarded as a neoplasm of low-grade malignancy; notwithstanding frequent local recurrences, sometimes after long intervals, the overall prognosis of the three dozen or so tumors reported in the literature has been good. This report documents an unusual clinical course of an adenosarcoma of uterine cervix occurring in an 80-year-old patient. Following clinically disease-free period of 25 months after hysterectomy, the tumor recurred in vaginal vault, grew with devastating rapidity, and proved fatal within 4 months. At autopsy, massive sarcomatosis peritonei and discrete tumor nodules involving the stomach and bowel were found.
