Adenomatoid Tumor Case Report: An Unusual Intraoperative Finding of Peritoneal Deposits Revealing Adenomatoid Tumor Anomaly
Mohammad Waleed Alansari, Qayrawan Alshammar, Khaled Hindi
Adenomatoid tumors are non-cancerous growths that arise from mesothelial cells and typically affect the
reproductive organs of both men and women. Nonetheless, documented cases have shown occurrences
in other locations such as the adrenals, liver, pleura, and peritoneum. Identifying an adenomatoid
tumor in these areas poses a significant diagnostic challenge due to their infrequency. In most instances,
patients do not display symptoms, and the deposits are incidentally discovered during surgery for
other medical conditions. We present the case of a 36-years-old male who presented with symptoms of
incarcerated hernia and underwent urgent laparoscopic hernia repair, during which multiple deposits
were incidentally discovered. Subsequent histopathological examination confirmed benign mesothelial
cell proliferation consistent with benign adenomatoid tumor.
