| Summary: | Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma of the uterine corpus was first reported in 2016, and added as a new item to the
5th edition of the WHO classification in 2020. It accounts for approximately 1% of patients with uterine corpus
cancer, being rare. The histology of this carcinoma varies, making pathological diagnosis difficult. A diagnosis is
made at an advanced stage in comparison with other histological types of uterine corpus cancer, and the prognosis
is reportedly poor with high-level malignancy. In addition, there are few case reports of mesonephric-like
adenocarcinoma of the uterine corpus with sarcoma. In this study, we report a patient in whom preoperative
chemotherapy was performed under a diagnosis of cervical carcinoma, but the resected specimen led to a diagnosis
of sarcomatous component-mixed mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma of the uterine corpus after surgery. |
