Abstract :
Mullerian adenosarcoma is a rare tumor usually affecting postmenapousal women. Patients generally present with abdominal pain, discomfort and uterine bleeding. A mixture of low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma, and benign but sometimes atypical glandular epithelium is detected in the histopathologic examination. Herein, we present an unusual case of Mullerian adenosarcoma complicated with abscess formation leading to sepsis postoperatively. Mullerian adenosarcomas are uncommon tumors with relatively good prognosis, however necrosis and secondary infection may lead to abscess formation and complicate the clinical picture with postoperative sepsis.
