Adenofibroma is a benign tumour, by definition, that consists of glands (adeno-) and a fibrous stroma.

They can arise anywhere in the Muellerian tract;[1] however, they are more common in the uterus.

Their existence is questioned and it is posited that they represent well-differentiated adenosarcomas.[1]
