A case of cervical leiomyomatosis diagnosis in a patient with endometrioid carcinoma of the uterine corpus

Abstract

Leiomyomatosis is a rare tumor of smooth muscle cells with uncertain malignant potential. The available literature describes mainly cases of leiomyomatosis of the uterine body, lungs, vessels, and peritoneum. There are data on isolated cases of cervical leiomyomatosis. Most often, leiomyomatosis is asymptomatic, however, there are localizations with the development of such clinical manifestations as infertility or respiratory failure. A clinical observation of a 61-year-old patient who was diagnosed with endometrioid carcinoma, for which videoendoscopic extirpation of the uterus with appendages was performed, is presented. During the examination of the surgical material, cervical leiomyomatosis was diagnosed in the cervix. This case is of interest due to the rarity of this pathology and the complexity of its diagnosis.
