Uterine mullerian adenosarcoma (MA) is a rare biphasic tumour that accounts for less than 0.5% of uterine neoplasms. The age range of presentation is wide, with the median age in the 5th decade of life. It usually has a good prognosis; however, it worsens when it presents with sarcomatous overgrowth, heterologous elements or infiltrates the myometrium. We report the case of a 63-year-old woman presenting with abnormal vaginal bleeding and a sensation of solid material coming out of the cervical canal who was diagnosed with mullerian adenosarcoma with sarcomatous overgrowth (MASO) and presence of heterologous elements after performing a mass biopsy and subsequent hysterectomy. We reviewed the literature, focusing especially on the differential diagnoses to be evaluated, as well as the differences in prognosis and treatment according to whether or not they present histologic features of poor prognosis.

Introduction: Uterine adenosarcoma (UA) is a rare malignant mesenchymal neoplasm characterized by benign epithelial and malignant stromal components. Comprehensive genomic profiling has identified a high frequency of murine double-minute type 2 (MDM2) and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) amplification in UA. However, the significance of these genetic alterations in tumor biology remains poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
- A 60's female patient diagnosed with a left-sided breast mass underwent a core needle biopsy, revealing a round cell tumor with specific positive markers (vimentin, NKX2.2, BCOR, CD99) but no Ewing sarcoma fusion genes.
- Following chemotherapy and total mastectomy, tissue analysis showed tumor cells with high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratios, leading to an integrative diagnosis of a malignant phyllodes tumor (PT) with extensive sarcomatous overgrowth.
- The case highlights the significance of precise diagnosis and genomic profiling of rare breast tumors, emphasizing the differences in treatment strategies and prognoses between malignant PT and primary breast sarcomas (PBS).

Background: Cervical mullerian adenosarcoma is a rare uterine sarcoma, especially in young women. Its pathological features are low-grade malignant tumors with bidirectional differentiation, and the degree of malignancy is similar to that of low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma. This paper reports the case of a young asexual patient who has been closely followed up after tumor resection and has not had any recurrences.
