Disease relevance of Adenomyoma

Four of the 6 (67%) adenomas and 15 of the 37 (41%) adenocarcinomas demonstrated cyclin D1 overexpression (>5% nuclear staining), whereas all normal epithelia and adenomyoma lesions were negative for cyclin D1 [1].

High impact information on Adenomyoma

MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The mean (+/- SEM) total adenomyoma volume before leuprolide acetate administration was 119 +/- 16 cm3 (range 6-190 cm3); after 3 months of therapy this was reduced to 86 +/- 8 cm3 (range 6-162 cm3, p <0. 0001) a 27.7% reduction [4].
OBJECTIVE: To describe the histologic distribution of elastin in the nonpregnant human uterus, uterine leiomyomas, adenomyosis and adenomyomas [3].
We studied one case of atypical polypoid adenomyoma of the uerus immunohistochemically using antisera against keratins, vinentin, S-100 protein, desmin and actin [5].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Adenomyoma

During the interval between the diagnosis of adenomyoma and the subsequent diagnosis of adenosarcoma, the patient developed breast carcinoma and received adjuvant chemotherapy that included tamoxifen [2].
