Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe a case of extrauterine adenomyoma (EA) and review all the cases of EA in the literature. METHODS Pubmed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Google Scholar from 1807 to December 2022. All studies reporting the histologic diagnosis of an EA. We collected the following data: patient's age, size and location of adenomyoma, presence of endometriosis and adenomyosis, past gynecologic treatment, symptoms, diagnostic imaging, surgical intervention, alternative/adjuvant treatment, associated malignancy, and follow up. RESULTS Sixty-seven studies with 85 patients were included. Pain was the most frequent symptom (69.5%). Among diagnostic examinations, ultrasonography was used in 60 out of 81 reported cases, with several radiologic features described. EA was located inside the pelvis in 77.6% of patients. Adnexa were the most frequent site of the disease (24, 28.2%). History of endometriosis or adenomyosis was described in 35 patients (35, 41.2%). Uterine tissue morcellation was reported in 6 of the 85 patients (7.1%). Associated malignancy was detected in 9 out of 85 patients with available data (10.6%). There were two recurrences of disease. CONCLUSION Specific imaging features of EA are yet to be described in the literature. History of endometriosis and adenomyosis or uterine tissue morcellation may be suggestive of EA. Histologic examination can give a definitive diagnosis and exclude malignant transformation.

Abstract
RATIONALE The extrauterine adenomyoma is rare and it is extremely rare outside the pelvic cavity. Herein, we reported the first case of a single extrauterine adenomyoma occurring in the lesser omentum. PATIENTS CONCERNS This case involved a 55-year-old woman who had undergone subtotal gastrectomy and omentectomy for gastric carcinoma. During postoperational pathological examination, 1 lymph node-like mass was coincidentally found in the lesser omentum. The patient had a history of hysterectomy for uterine leiomyoma 8 years ago. DIAGNOSES The resected 17 "lymph nodes" from the lesser omentum were routinely checked for possible metastasis of gastric carcinoma. One of lymph node-like mass was microscopically showed that it was composed of benign smooth muscle components, endometrial glands and stroma by HE staining. Therefore, adenomyoma was initially considered. INTERVENTIONS The lymph node-like mass was removed together with the lesser omentum during the subtotal gastrectomy and omentectomy for gastric carcinoma. No special intervention was performed for the adenomyoma. OUTCOMES Immunohistochemical staining confirmed that smooth muscle tissue was diffusely and strongly positive for Desmin, smooth muscle actin, estrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor, and negative for CD117, Dog-1, S100, and CD34. Endometrial glands and stroma were positive for estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor, and the endometrium interstitium was also positive for CD10. The final diagnosis of extrauterine adenomyoma occurring in the lesser omentum was established. LESSONS So far, to the best of our knowledge, total 53 cases of extrauterine adenomyoma have been reported in 45 English reports. The most common location for a single mass was pelvic cavity (37 cases), but rarely outside the pelvic cavity. This is the first case of a single extrauterine adenomyoma occurring in the lesser omentum.

Abstract
Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL), also known as leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata, is a rare condition characterized by multiple benign smooth muscle tumors proliferating along the peritoneal surfaces. In previous case reports, these tumors have been noted to involve the ovaries, round ligaments, bladder, bowel, peritoneum, and mesentery. To date, approximately 150 cases of DPL have been described in the literature. Extrauterine adenomyoma is an even rarer entity, involving benign tumors composed of smooth muscle tissue, endometrial glands, and endometrial stroma arising outside the uterus. Only 22 cases have previously been reported. We describe a woman presenting with both DPL and multiple extrauterine adenomyomas several years after undergoing laparoscopic morcellated hysterectomy.

Abstract
Adenomyoma is a benign neoplasm composed of endometrial-type glands, specialized endometrial-type stroma, and well-formed smooth muscle bundles. This tumor typically originates within the uterus, whereas extrauterine adenomyoma is an unusual presentation. The ovary is the most common site of extrauterine adenomyoma. In this study, we describe the clinical and pathological features and immunohistochemical findings of primary ovarian adenomyoma in patients at our Institution. In addition, we provide a thorough review of previously published cases of primary ovarian adenomyoma and clarify their clinicopathological characteristics. The most common clinical presentations of ovarian adenoma were abdominopelvic pain and abnormal menstruation. Imaging features of ovarian adenomyoma varied, showing mixed solid and cystic, solid, or cystic masses. Frequently associated conditions included congenital anomalies of the urinary tract and endometriosis. Although most cases of ovarian adenomyoma exhibit benign histopathological features, we observed one case of endometrioid carcinoma arising in ovarian adenomyoma. Clinical follow-up data indicated that simple excision of the mass is curative for ovarian adenomyoma, but certain patients underwent unnecessary surgical procedures due to lack of awareness of primary ovarian adenomyoma and high index of suspicion for malignancy in patients with solid ovarian masses. Although ovarian adenomyoma is rare, awareness of this tumor type aids pathologists in making correct diagnoses and clinicians in avoiding unwarranted therapeutic procedures.
