"Adenomatoid tumor" of female genital tract.

Three cases of adenomatoid tumor of the uterus in women aged 30, 40 and 49 years, and three cases of the tumor situated in the oviducts in women aged 39, 43 and 50 years were analyzed micro- and macroscopically. A tubulo-canalicular, a microcystic and a mixed form were distinguished. Inflammatory changes in the oviducts, myomas and myomatosis of the uterus seem to be conducive to growth of adenomatoid tumor. The authors emphasize the diversity of microscopic structure, creating difficulties of differential diagnosis. Some histochemical reactions may be useful in diagnosis.
