Endometrial adenofibroma: a rare entity.

Endometrial adenofibroma is an uncommon mullerian mixed tumor composed of benign epithelial and mesenchymal components. This tumor must be distinguished from other malignant lesions of the uterus, particularly adenosarcoma. The authors report three cases of endometrial adenofibroma and discuss their clinical and histopathologic features. The tumors were diagnosed in patients 31, 55 and 63 years of age. In all three cases polypoid lesions of 13, 2 and 5 cm, respectively, were found in the uterine cavity. A polypectomy was performed in two cases; one patient underwent hysterectomy. Follow-up was available for two patients who are today alive and well.

[Primary hepatic carcinoid tumor: A case report].

Primary hepatic carcinoid tumors are extremely rare, and fewer than 60 cases have been reported in the literature. Long-term follow-up is necessary for establishing the primary nature of liver carcinoids. We report a case arising in a young 20 years-man having Zollinger-Ellison syndrome on presentation. Intensive and careful investigation revealed no other origin of the tumor. Resection is the treatment of choice for primary hopatic carcinoid tumors. Their prognosis seems to be more favorable when compared with other hepatic carcinomas.
