Description
Abstract
Müllerianosis is a term used to indicate
lesions composed of an admixture of two or three types
of müllerian-derivation glands in heterotopic sites. In
this report we describe a case of spinal cord
müllerianosis which occurred in a 42-year-old woman.
The patient had suffered from catamenial lumbago and
sciatica of three years duration before undergoing
laminectomy of L2-L3 with excision of a polypoid mass
that compressed nerve trunks.
At histological examination, the lesion was
composed of endocervical, endometrial and tubal glands
within a smooth muscle nodule. These features were
consistent with a diagnosis of müllerianosis.
This is a very uncommon form of presentation of
müllerianosis that must be correctly identified since
patients can benefit from hormonal therapy.
