Abstract
Mesonephric adenocarcinoma (MNA) is believed to arise from benign mesonephric remnants or hyperplasia located in the lateral walls of the uterine cervix. They are uncommon in other sites of the gynecologic tract, and exceptionally rare in the uterine corpus. So far, only 30 cases of uterine MNA have been reported in the literature, as a result, the etiology, clinical behavior, choice of treatment, and histogenesis of uterine MNA are still unclear. In this study, we report 2 cases of MNA of uterine corpus. One case involved the inner half of myometrium with endometrial involvement; the second case involved the outer half of myometrium without endometrial involvement. We also reviewed the clinical and pathologic presentations of this rare entity, and discussed the histogenesis of uterine corpus MNA based on recent molecular findings.Entities:
