Int J Gynecol Pathol. 2003 Apr;22(2):194-7. doi: 10.1097/00004347-200304000-00014.

Abstract

A serous carcinoma and endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma were encountered in an endometrial adenofibroma in a 61-year-old woman. The carcinoma involved the myometrium and cervix (stage IIa). To our knowledge, this is the third documented case of an adenocarcinoma and the first serous carcinoma involving a uterine adenofibroma.
