Introduction: Adenosarcoma is a rare uterine tumor composed of benign epithelial and malignant stromal elements. In 20% of cases stroma contains heterologous elements (usually from stratified muscle type). Association between Tamoxifen usage (exogenous strogen) or ovarian thecoma (endogenous strogen) and occurance of this tumor has been reported. This is a case report of a uterine Adenosarcoma. Case: The patient was a 45 years old woman with history of 16 years OCP use who was admitted with a uterine mass and undergone total hysterectomy. Microscopic assessment of slides, stained by H&A, was indicator of Adenosarcoma with cartilage heterologous elements. Conclusion: Uterine Adenosarcoma is a rare tumor. Although there is a few reports of cartilage heterologous elements in uterine Adenosarcoma, this case had multiple cartilage points in stroma. Also in this case, the coexistance of this tumor with long- term OCP use was considerable.

Background: Q fever is a zoonotic agent that is endemic in the many parts of the World. It has animal origin as considered as an emerging and re-emerging zoonose in many countries, including Iran. Cattle, sheep, and goats are the primary reservoirs for Q fever. Organisms are excreted in milk of infected animals. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence rate of Coxiella burentii in raw samples obtained from sheep in Bonab.

Materials and Methods: This study was carried out from Autuman 2014 to Winter 2014. Overall, 120 milk samples were collected from 100 dairy cattle breeding complexes and the diagnosis of Coxiella burnetii was confirmed by Nested-PCR method.

 Results: In this study, in total, 26 samples (21.66%) were found to be positive for the presence of Coxiella burnetii.

 Conclusion: Considering the importance of the bacterium, Coxiella burnetii, rapid and accurate diagnosis is of great significance. Due to high accuracy and high speed, molecular techniques are mostly effective in the diagnosis. Thus, the localization of molecular techniques in the diagnosis of Q fever is highly recommended. The results indicated that Cattle's milk could be a potential reservoir of Coxiella burnetii in Iran.
