Broad Ligament Adenocarcinoma of Müllerian Origin

BERNARD CZERNOBILSKY, MD and MOSHE LANCET, MD

From the Department of Pathology and Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kaplan Hospital, Rehovot, Israel, affiliated to the Medical School of the Hebrew University and Hadassah, Jerusalem, Israel.

Abstract

A low grade adenocarcinoma arose in a broad ligament cyst of a 29-year-old woman. The histologic features pointed to a Müllerian rather than mesonephric derivation. It is suggested that some broad ligament cysts and neoplasms may originate from invaginated peritoneal mesothelium derived from the celomic epithelium from which the Müllerian system originates. Thus, there is no need to implicate an embryonal, or specifically, mesonephric remnant in all instances of broad-ligament cysts and neoplasms.
