Abstract

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
