We report the clinical and pathologic features of two cases of adenosarcoma. Our first case occurred in the ovary of a 51-year-old woman with extensive pelvic involvement. She was treated vigorously with radiation and chemotherapy and at the present time almost 9 years later the patient is free of disease. This represents a case with one of the longest survival reported in the literature. Our second case occurred in a 37-year-old woman and was limited to the endometrium.

Cellular changes produced by viruses can be readily identified using light microscopy and Papanicolaou stain of a fixed specimen. These findings can then be confirmed by viral culture and/or electron microscopy studies. Human polyomavirus, common in transplant recipients or otherwise immunocompromised patients, is one virus that can be identified using these methods. The following is a case study of a 4-yr-old boy with no known immune impairment who exhibited human papovavirus (polyomavirus) on a routine urine examination. The diagnosis was confirmed by electron microscopy.
