Abstract

Sixty cases of uterine adenomatoid tumors (ATs) are reported. All except four were incidental findings in hysterectomy specimens, three of these being discovered preoperatively as large multicystic tumors. ATs were classified into two distinctive macroscopic patterns: Small, solid tumors and large, cystic ones. The 56 small, solid ATs ranged from 0.2 to 3.5 cm, (average 2.1 cm); 48 were nodular and 8 diffuse. The four large, cystic tumors ranged from 7 to 10 cm. Inflammation occurred in 65% of the tumors, and a smooth muscle reaction, identified by an increased Ki-67 index, was present in most cases. Both types were histologically similar except for the presence of short papillae in cystic tumors, which also showed serosal involvement. Both were immunoreactive for cytokeratins, calretinin, HMBE-1, and vimentin. Estrogen and progesterone nuclear receptors and EMA were negative. These tumors represent a spectrum ranging from small and solid to large and cystic ATs in the female genital tract, whereas outside the genital tract they are morphologically similar to multicystic mesothelioma. Although a reactive origin for ATs often seems plausible, especially when inflammation is present, their neoplastic nature should not be ignored.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from the Field Citation Ratio (FCR) of the Dimensions source, it yields a value of: 14.6, which indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: Dimensions Jul 2025)

Specifically, and according to different indexing agencies, this work has accumulated citations as of 2025-07-16, the following number of citations:

  • WoS: 74
  • Scopus: 107
  • Europe PMC: 42

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-07-16:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 21.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 21 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 0.25.
  • The number of mentions on the social network Facebook: 1 (Altmetric).
