Cancer. 1979 Apr;43(4):1439-47. doi: 10.1002/1097-0142(197904)43:4<1439::aid-cncr2820430434>3.0.co;2-a.

Abstract

We report the clinical and pathologic features of two cases of adenosarcoma. Our first case occurred in the ovary of a 51-year-old woman with extensive pelvic involvement. She was treated vigorously with radiation and chemotherapy and at the present time almost 9 years later the patient is free of disease. This represents a case with one of the longest survival reported in the literature. Our second case occurred in a 37-year-old woman and was limited to the endometrium.
