[The so-called adenomatoid tumor of the uterus: a case report of evaluation of primary sterility].

A description of the clinical diagnosis, localisation and the histological structure of an adenomatoid tumour of the uterus is presented. The tumour was diagnosed during investigation of sterility and localised in the uterus wall. Fallopian tubes and ovaries can also be affected. Adenomatoid tumours are small, slow growing and of benign origin, and hence organ-preserving tumourectomy is an adequate therapy. Histogenesis of this kind of tumour has been established by means of immunological techniques as being of mesothelial origin.
