Background: Mullerian adenosarcoma of the cervix is a rare biphasic tumor composed of a benign epithelial component and a malignant stromal component. Here, we report a rare case of Mullerian adenosarcoma of the cervix in an adolescent girl treated with hysteroscopic resection.
Case Presentation: A 16-year-old girl presented to the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College in April 2017 with a 1-year history of a painless vaginal mass. Ten hours before presentation, she had experienced rapid enlargement of the vaginal mass and mild vaginal bleeding. Sixteen hours after hospitalization, a mass measuring 14 × 10 × 4 cm was spontaneously expelled from the vagina. Histopathological examination of the mass confirmed a diagnosis of Mullerian adenosarcoma. On May 10, 2017, the patient underwent hysteroscopic resection of a cervical lesion and partial cervical resection. After nearly 7 years of follow-up, the tumor has not recurred.
Conclusion: Mullerian adenosarcoma of the cervix is difficult to diagnose in adolescents. For young women affected by low-risk early-stage Mullerian adenosarcoma of the cervix, fertility-preserving treatment using hysteroscopic resection with robust follow-up is a reasonable management option.

The incidence of neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor (NTRK) fusion uterine sarcoma is extremely low, and reports have been mostly focused on cases localized to the cervix. So far, only 4 cases have been reported of the uterine corpus. In this study, we reported a case of NTRK fusion corpus sarcoma.

Objectives: To comprehensively summarize the characteristics of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of uterine adenosarcoma through a systematic review and case series analysis.
Methods: A literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, Scopus, and Embase databases on June 3, 2024. In total, 25 cases from 23 articles were selected, and five cases from the authors' institution were included.

Aim: To provide information including the trend of gynecological malignancies in Japan, we hereby present the Annual Patient Report for 2021 and the Annual Treatment Report for 2016, on the outcomes of patients who started treatment in 2016.
Methods: The Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology maintains an annual tumor registry, where information on gynecological malignancies from various participating institutions is gathered. The data of patients whose treatment with gynecologic malignancies was initiated in 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.

Uterine adenosarcoma coexisting with endometrial carcinoma is a very rare disease. Herein, we reported the case of uterine adenosarcoma coexisting with endometrioid endometrial carcinoma. Transvaginal ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging examinations all indicated a space-occupying lesion in the uterine cavity, and initially was considered endometrial carcinoma.

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.
