Malignant female adnexal tumors of probable Wolffian origin.

Female adnexal tumors of probable Wolffian origin are rare. Although the histological features of the benign tumors are recognized, features of malignancy are not well defined in published work because these tumors are particularly rare. In this study, we report an 81-year-old woman presenting with a 6-month history of postmenopausal bleeding.
