<Abstract>Mullerian Adenosarcoma (MA) is most commonly encountered in postmenopausal females in the sixth decade of life. We present the case of a 21-year old female with a high BMI and a clinical presentation suggestive of polycystic ovarian disease; she presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding. A laparoscopy/hysteroscopy by her primary physician demonstrated an intracavitary and submucosal appearing mass which was clinically considered to be a polypoid submucosal leiomyoma. The patient underwent endometrial curettage. The specimen was comprised of multiple fragments of soft tan-red haemorrhagic tissues aggregating to 6.5 x 4.0 x 0.6 cm. An original diagnosis of endometrial stromal nodule was made on this material; however, on consultative review the diagnosis was changed to a mullerian adenosarcoma. No stromal overgrowth or heterologous differentiation was identified. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated stromal cells were positive for oestrogen receptor (ER) and CD10. We emphasize the young age of this patient with a mullerian adenosarcoma as well as the pitfall of making a specific diagnosis of endometrial stromal neoplasms based on an endometrial curettage.</Abstract>
