Abstract
A case of adenosarcoma of the uterus in a 59-year-old woman is here re ported. Adenosarcoma is a low malignant glandular and a malignant stro mal component. The treatment is usually hysterectomy with bilateral sa lpingo-oophorectomy. Debated is the usefulness of adjuvant chemotherap y, while radiation treatment is not beneficial. Long term follow-up is necessary for these patients because of high recurrence risk, mostly in cases with myometrial invasion.
