Abstract
Background: We report the clinicopathological characteristics, immunohistochemical features, ultrastructure, tissue source, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of a patient with a uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex-cord tumor (UTROSCT).
Case report: A 40-year-old woman had a uterine myoma with enlargement for 2.5 years. An ultrasound examination showed a mixed echogenic mass at the posterior wall of the uterus and a dark cyst in the right adnexal area, which suggested a suspected uterine myoma with liquefaction and a suspected chocolate cyst. The patient underwent transabdominal tumor resection with removal of the right adnexal mass. Through postoperative pathological examination, the patient was diagnosed with UTROSCT. No recurrence was observed after a follow-up of 1 year.
Conclusion: Although UTROSCT is usually benign, it can relapse or metastasize, and patients with UTROSCT need comprehensive diagnosis and treatment.

Asian Biomedicine: Research, Reviews and News (ISSN 1905-7415 print; 1875-855X online) is published in one volume (of 6 bimonthly issues) a year since 2007. [...]Asian Biomedicine is an international, general medical and biomedical journal that aims to publish original peer-reviewed contributions dealing with various topics in the biomedical and health sciences from basic experimental to clinical aspects. The work and authorship must be strongly affiliated with a country in Asia, or with specific importance and relevance to the Asian region. The Journal will publish reviews, original experimental studies, observational studies, technical and clinical (case) reports, practice guidelines, historical perspectives of Asian biomedicine, clinicopathological conferences, and commentaries
Asian biomedicine is intended for a broad and international audience, primarily those in the health professions including researchers, physician practitioners, basic medical scientists, dentists, educators, administrators, those in the assistive professions, such as nurses, and the many types of allied health professionals in research and health care delivery systems including those in training.
