  • Title: Two cases of endometrial adenocarcinoma arising from atypical polypoid adenomyoma.
    Author: Sugiyama T, Ohta S, Nishida T, Okura N, Tanabe K, Yakushiji M.
    Journal: Gynecol Oncol; 1998 Oct; 71(1):141-4. PubMed ID: 9784336.
    Abstract:
    Atypical polypoid adenomyoma (APA) most frequently presents as an endometrial polyp in premenopausal women and is believed to follow a benign course. In hysterectomy specimens from postmenopausal Japanease women, the endometrium contained an APA with an area of endometrial adenocarcinoma. A convincing transition zone between the APA and the adenocarcinoma was seen in our cases, suggesting that APA may develop into endometrial adenocarcinoma in postmenopausal women.
