Popis: According to the 2020 World Health Organization classification, mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is newly categorized as a subtype of endometrial carcinoma and remains a relatively unknown disease owing to its rarity. To the best of our knowledge, radiological findings of MLA have not been reported in the English literature. The uterine MLAs show a worse clinical prognosis and a more aggressive biological behavior than the usual endometrial carcinoma. Herein, we present the imaging findings of a 65-year-old female with a MLA in the uterine corpus. The tumor was a solid endometrial mass with deep myometrial invasion, poor contrast enhancement, and moderate diffusion restriction.
