We report the fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology findings of endometrioid adenofibroma arising in the ovary of a 60-year-old woman who presented with vaginal bleeding. Imaging studies revealed a large pelvic mass, which was sampled by computed tomography-guided FNA and core biopsy. The FNA yielded cellular smears composed of bland endometrioid cells and fragments of ovarian-type stroma. The core biopsy showed a biphasic process comprising bland endometrioid glands in a spindle-cell stroma. Immunohistochemical studies performed on the core showed the stroma to be CD10-negative and smooth muscle actin-positive. Subsequent resection of the tumor confirmed the diagnosis and revealed an adenocarcinoma arising in the tumor that was not sampled by FNA. To our knowledge, the cytologic features of ovarian endometrioid adenofibroma have not been previously described.

Ovarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a rare tumor with potential origins in endometriosis and Müllerian-type epithelial tumors. The morphologic patterns of MLA overlap with those of endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (EnOC). We speculated that a subset of MLAs would be classified as EnOCs.

Mesonephric-like adenocarcinomas are newly classified rare neoplasms of the upper genital tract. They share identical features with mesonephric adenocarcinomas, with the exception of location. There is ongoing discussion on whether mesonephric-like adenocarcinomas arise from mesonephric remnants or are of Müllerian origin.

Rationale: Endometrioid adenofibroma is a benign epithelial neoplasm of the ovary, most of which are often unilateral. The symptoms of endometrioid adenofibroma are often nonspecific and misleading. Therefore, a full understanding of the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment methods of this disease is of great importance.

Article Synopsis
  • A 69-year-old woman had ovarian and uterine mesonephric-like carcinoma alongside endometrioid adenofibroma and underwent surgery for tumor removal.
  • Histological analysis showed that both tumors were likely related, sharing a common origin from Müllerian duct and exhibiting the same KRAS G12D mutation, indicating they were monoclonal.
