A rare case of ovarian adenomyoma mimicking primary invasive ovarian cancer with a contralateral serous borderline ovarian tumor: A case report and review of the literature.

Extrauterine adenomyoma is a rare type of benign tumor, characterized by nodular aggregate of smooth muscle, endometrial glands and endometrial stroma, arising outside the uterus. In this study we describe a case of primary ovarian adenomyoma associated with endometriotic cysts with contralateral serous borderline tumor in a 40-year-old woman and we highlight how preoperative exams could lead to the suspicious of invasive cancer. We provide a review of the literature, analyzing all cases of extrauterine adenomyoma published so far, classifying them on the basis of pathogenetic theories proposed, localization of the lesion, imaging modalities and treatment adopted.
