Adenomatoid tumour is a benign rare lesion of the female genital tract, localised in the wall of fallopian tubes or beneath the uterine serosa. It is often accompanied by smooth muscle proliferation, obscuring the presence of adenomatoid tumour, resulting in misdiagnosis of cellular leiomyoma.Here, a case of uterine serosal adenomatoid tumour associated with multiple leiomyomas and pelvic endometriosis in a 44-year-old woman who underwent surgical removal for uterine bleeding and abdominal pain is presented.

Paratesticular adenomatoid tumors are benign and rare neoplasms, and the management of these lesions is challenging as many cases end up in the operation room due to the lack of specific clinical and radiological features to differentiate them from malignant lesions. We report a case of adenomatoid tumor of the tunica albuginea in a 48-year-old male along with a review of the literature for similar cases in the last 10 years.

An adenomatoid tumor (AT) is a benign lesion, which is commonly located in the genital tract of both sexes. We present a case of a 66-yr-old woman with the unusual characteristics of an AT mimicking peritoneal carcinomatosis. The tumor was detected incidentally by ultrasound examination, and an ensuing imaging study raised suspicion of ovarian cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

SOX17 has recently emerged as a novel immunohistochemical marker for cancers of endometrial and ovarian origin with improved specificity compared with the widely used Mullerian marker PAX8. However, evaluation of SOX17 in benign and malignant peritoneal mesothelial proliferations remains limited, and these may mimic gynecologic carcinomas, particularly on small biopsies. We evaluated SOX17 and PAX8 expression in 20 benign mesothelial lesions (5 adenomatoid tumors, 5 well-differentiated papillary mesothelial tumors, and 10 peritoneal inclusion cysts) and 16 epithelioid peritoneal mesotheliomas.

Adenomatoid tumors are rare benign neoplasms arising from mesothelial cells, commonly found in the female genital system, particularly the uterus and fallopian tubes. The giant cystic variant of adenomatoid tumor is exceptionally rare and can cause massive growth mimicking malignant gynecological conditions. Histology and immunohistochemistry play a crucial role in confirming the diagnosis, with markers such as calretinin, D2-40, CK7, BAP1, ER, and WT1 proving useful.
