This study describes the morphologic and ultrastructural features of fifteen uterine plexiform tumorlets. Four cases were examined using electron microscopy, which revealed characteristics consistent with smooth muscle differentiation. The authors conclude that these lesions most likely originate from smooth muscle cells based on these findings. This paper is not centrally about endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

The morphologic features of 15 uterine plexiform tumorlets are described. Four of the 15 were examined ultrastructurally; all of these showed features of smooth muscle differentiation. Thus, origin from smooth muscle cells is most likely.
