Abstract
Introduction: Adenofibroma is a type of mixed mesodermal tumor that both epithelial and stromal components are benign, and
often originate from endometrium at postmenopausal age. Uterine adenofibroma is an extremely rare tumor and this lesion must
be differentiated from some benign or malignant lesions of the uterus, particularly adenosarcoma. Because of the rarity and importance
of such histopathology at post-menopausal age, this case is presented.
Case Presentation: A 63-year-old woman, parity 9, who was at menopause period with a history of prolonged and severe no bloody
vaginal discharge during the past 3 months was referred to our center. Transvaginal ultrasonography revealed a hyperechoic area
with the dimensions 653733mminside the endometrial cavity, that was suspicious to severe endometrial hyperplasia or malignancy.
Tumor marker tests (BHCC, LDH, FP, CA125, CA19-9, and CEA) were in normal limit. Endometrial biopsy by pipelle was
unsatisfactory for diagnosis. Total abdominal hysterectomy was done, and the result of histopathology confirmed endometrial
adenofibroma with the dimensions 704740 mm.
Conclusions: The presence of a hyperechoic area of the endometrium with complain of prolonged vaginal discharge in post
menopause subjects could attribute to endometrial adenofibroma.
