BURBANO OBANDO, Jina Paola  and  BOLANOS BRAVO, Harold Jofre. Adenomatoid uterine tube tumor, case report and literature review. Revista médica Risaralda [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.1, pp.57-58. ISSN 0122-0667.

The adenomatoid tumors of the genital tract are rare neoplasms, with benign behavior; due to their histological characteristics, they are easily confused with tumors of vascular origin. Recent studies show that adenomatoid tumors of the female genital tract are genetically defined by the TRAF7 mutation that activates the aberrant expression of the NFkB pathway. We present the case of a 27-year-old woman, asymptomatic, who underwent bilateral salpingectomy as a method of definitive contraception; In the macroscopic examination of the right tuba, cystic formation is found which, due to its microscopic characteristics, is diagnosed as an adenomatoid tumor of the uterine tube. Finally, a review of the literature is made

Keywords : Adenomatoid tumor; benign neoplasms of the uterine tuba; nuclear factor kappa B; TRAF7; immunohistochemistry.
