OBJECTIVE: Adenomatoid tumor is a benign neoplasm of mesothelial origin encountered most often in the male and female genital tracts. This tumor has a distinct morphology and is characterized by anastomosing and variably sized tubules lined by epithelioid and flattened cells. Only 4 cases of the extremely rare leiomyoadenomatoid variant are on record. We report 5 cases of adenomatoid tumor including 3 cases of leiomyoadenomatoid tumor of the uterus, which is an extremely rare variant of adenomatoid tumor, difficult to recognize on morphology. METHOD: A detailed histopathological review of all the uterine tumor diagnosed as fibroid and adenomatoid tumor over the period of 4 years was done. RESULTS: A total of 5 cases of adenomatoid tumor were documented including 3 cases of leiomyoadenomatoid variant. CONCLUSION: Leiomyoadenomatoid variant of adenomatoid tumor often missed both on imaging and histopathological examination and hence needs to be recognized as a distinct morphological entity.
