Confusion surrounds the nature of the “adenomatoid tumor” of the testis, as evidenced by the large number of synonyms which have been ascribed to it. Various authors have considered the tumor to be of endothelial, mesothelial or epithelial origin. There appears to be no controversy as to the stromal elements of the tumor, which consists mainly of smooth muscle and fibrous tissue. It is the irregular gland-like spaces which have given rise to the numerous theories as to its histogenesis, and even recent ultrastructural studies fail to agree on the origin of these structures.Electron microscopy of a typical intrascrotal adenomatoid tumor showed the gland-like spaces to be lined by epithelial cells (Fig. 1), rich in cytoplasmic tonofibrils and united to each other by numerous desmosomes (Fig. 2). The most salient feature of these epithelial cells was the presence on their luminal surface of numerous long and repeatedly branching microvillous structures of the type known as stereocilia (Fig. 3). These are extremely long slender cell processes which are as much as three to four times the length of those in brush borders.

Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) is an uncommon mesothelial tumor. The lesions may be single or multiple and usually behave in a benign or indolent fashion, sometimes persisting for many years. In the present case, a 37-year-old woman had experienced primary infertility for 12 years, and a diagnostic laparoscopy was performed. Approximately 200 mL of dark red, free fluid in the pelvis and more than 10 yellow-white nodules on the surface of the right round ligament, sacrum ligament, right fallopian tube, and both sides of the uterus were found. A lesionectomy was performed and immunohistochemical markers indicated WDPM with adenomatoid tumor. The patient was monitored by computed tomography and serum CA125 (cancer antigen 125) levels for 49 months with no recurrence. WDPM and adenomatoid tumor are both benign tumors of mesothelial origin. Because of the lack of effective radical treatment, regular follow-up is sufficient. However, the effects of estrogen and progesterone on WDPM and adenomatoid tumors during ovulation or pregnancy remains unclear. Although WDPM is not life threatening, a strategy to fulfill the fertility requirements of women with this condition is a new challenge for infertility doctors.

Abstract Adenomatoid tumor and myelolipoma are benign, hormonally inactive tumors that are often incidental findings in the adrenal glands. Myelolipoma is more common than adenomatoid tumor in this location but both are rare, and as yet, the pathogenesis of both remains unclear. We report 2 cases of composite adenomatoid tumor and myelolipoma, incidentally found in the adrenal gland on investigation for other diseases. To our knowledge, composite adenomatoid tumor and myelolipoma of adrenal gland has not been previously reported.
