Abstract

Microcystic adnexal carcinoma is a recently described malignant neoplasm of adnexal structure. It remains frequently misdiagnosed. These tumors are characterized by their slow progression and by local aggressivity with local recurrences. The best treatment appears to be surgical excision with microscopically controlled margin. We report two cases of microcystic adnexal carcinoma recently observed at Institute Gustave Roussy.
