Abdom Radiol (NY). 2020 Jul;45(7):2263-2267. doi: 10.1007/s00261-020-02439-0.

Abstract

We report a case of uterine adenomatoid tumor (AT) with regional lymph node involvement in a 49-year-old woman. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an aggregated cystic mass in the posterior uterine wall with partial protrusion of the tumor outside the uterus, and cystic masses of same characteristics in the bilateral obturator and right common iliac lymph nodes. FDG PET/CT revealed no significant FDG uptake in the uterine and lymph node lesions. Taking possible lymph node metastasis into consideration, hysterectomy and lymph node biopsy were performed and it revealed AT of the uterus and the lymph nodes histopathologically.

Keywords: Adenomatoid tumor; Lymph node; Uterus.
