Abstract
We present a 25-year-old female woman with a 9-year history of metrorrhagia, in whom a uterine polypoid adenomyoma (UPA) was incidentally detected. Intense nuclear staining in the uterine adenomyoma tissue showed an immunoreaction with BAF250a/ARID1A, Arginase-2 as well as 1LRH-2E1/NR5A2, suggesting a role of these proteins and transcriptional activity of their genes in uterine polypoid adenomyoma development. Neither Nidogen-2 nor SF-1/NR5A1 were expressed in UPA.
