Abstract

SWI/SNF‑related matrix‑associated actin‑dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily A member 4 (SMARCA4)‑deficient tumors are rare and highly aggressive tumors characterized by a loss of SMARCA4 expression, and SMARCA4‑deficient tumors in the adnexal area of the uterus are particularly rare. The present study describes the case of a 64‑year‑old woman who was admitted to Weifang People's Hospital (Weifang, China) with abdominal distension, and was observed to have a mass with ascites in the adnexal area of the uterus. Based on clinical, imaging and pathological findings, the patient was diagnosed with a SMARCA4‑deficient adnexal tumor with ascites. Biopsy of the left and right adnexal lesions was performed, and the patient was administered chemotherapy. After one cycle of bevacizumab, sindilizumab and carboplatin, no further treatment was administered. After biopsy and chemotherapy, the abdominal distension was alleviated and the general condition of the patient was satisfactory. The patient was followed up and died 3 months after treatment. Notably, it is important to avoid misdiagnosing this tumor as other types of adnexal uterine tumors, and morphological and immunohistochemical features may be useful for diagnosing primary SMARCA4‑deficient tumors in the adnexal area of the uterus.
