Diagnostic Cytopathology

Abstract

Extrauterine adenosarcoma is very rare and originates in the ovary, adnexa, or myometrium. Cytologic study of ascites is very important to determine clinical staging of malignant ovarian tumors and provide adequate therapy for recurrence. The cytomorphologic features of adenosarcoma have been only rarely described. A 77-yr-old woman visited a hospital with a complaint of lower abdominal pain for 1 mo. A tumor originating from the right adnexa in the pelvis, and involving the rectum, was found in surgery. In the ascitic fluid cytology, a few dispersed tumor cells with large cytoplasm and nuclei were oval-shaped, with nuclear invagination. The chromatin was finely granular; one or two nucleoli were conspicuous. To our knowledge, this is the fifteenth reported case of adenosarcoma of the ovary, and there have been no prior reports describing the cytological features of ascitic fluid cells in adenosarcoma of the ovary.
