This study presents a case of uterine adenosarcoma without sarcomatous overgrowth but with TP53 mutation that exhibited clinically aggressive behaviors. The patient had an ATM mutation, which is a gene associated with homologous recombination deficiency, and exhibited a good response against platinum-based chemotherapy and possible therapeutic target by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors.
Uterine adenosarcoma is a rare gynecologic malignancy, and 10-25% of the cases exhibit clinically aggressive behaviors. Although TP53 mutations are frequently identified in high-grade adenosarcomas of the uterus, definitive gene alterations have not been identified in uterine adenosarcomas. Specifically, no reports have described mutations in homologous recombination deficiency-related genes in uterine adenosarcomas. This study presents a case of uterine adenosarcoma without sarcomatous overgrowth but with TP53 mutation that exhibited clinically aggressive behaviors. The patient had an ATM mutation, which is a gene associated with homologous recombination deficiency, and exhibited a good response against platinum-based chemotherapy and possible therapeutic target by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors.
