Master bibliography — uterine adenosarcoma

Last curated: 2026-09-01. One line per paper: citation, PMID, tags, wiki pages that cite it. The independent audit re-fetched all 66 listed PMIDs through live PubMed E-utilities on 2026-09-01; all resolved and matched their cited papers. This is a density-exempt condition (258 PubMed records in the live condition search); the bibliography is the cited set, not a padded scrape of the 258.
