A Leiomyomatous neoplasm of uterus - report of a case highlighting diagnostic difficulties and the role of immunohistochemistry
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: A case of uterine leiomyoma with unusual morphological features is reported. The tumor arose from the outer anterior wall of the uterus, growing into the broad ligament, between the uterus and bladder. Macroscopically the tumor was large, partially cystic and had areas resembling lymphangioma. Solid areas of the tumor consisted of spindle mesenchymal cells in fascicles and round epithelioid cells in a perivascular arrangement. Role of immunohistochemistry in the evaluation of the cystic lymphangioma -like component and in the differential diagnosis of combined mesenchymal – epithelioid cell tumours of uterus is discussed.
