|---|---|
| Diagnosis in short | |
 Adenomatoid tumour. H&E stain. | |
|
| |
| LM | small tubulocystic spaces lined by unremarkable mesothelium; the pseudotubular spaces are crossed by "thread-like bridging strands, usu. well-circumscribed |
| LM DDx | lymphangioma, leiomyoma, vascular tumours |
| IHC | calretinin +ve, CK7 +ve, AE1/AE3 +ve, WT1 +ve, CD31 -ve, desmin -ve |
| Site | uterus, adnexa (fallopian tube/ovaries), others |
|
| |
| Prevalence | uncommon |
| Prognosis | benign |
| Clin. DDx | leiomyoma, other adenxal masses |
It should not be confused with the bone tumour adamantinoma.
