Abstract EN

Adenomyomas are benign tumors composed of smooth muscle and endometrial tissue.

These tumors usually arise from the myometrium.

Extrauterine adenomyomas are rare with only a few case reports available in the literature.

Here, we report an unusual case of multiple adenomyomas in a 39-year-old woman six years after hysterectomy for multiple leiomyomata.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of extrauterine adenomyoma presenting as an upper abdominal mass.
