A case of pure uterine lipoma: immunohistochemical and ultrastructural focus

Abstract

Clinical and histological diagnosis of pure uterine lipomas are described and a possible involvement of fatty metaplasia of smooth muscle cells in the development of pure uterine lipomas is discussed.

A pure uterine lipoma: a rare, benign entity

“…Some theories include erroneous inclusion of fat cells during embryogenesis, migration of adipocytes via the uterine vessels, abnormal metaplasia or inclusion during surgery 5 6…”

Lipoma of the sigmoid colon

“…Magnetic resonance is considered to be the best imaging method for diagnostic of lipoma, but it is not a part of standard diagnostic algorithm, so most reliable, precise and definitive diagnosis is obtained by histological examination 5 .…”

A Rare Case Report: Lipoma in Uterine Cavity

“…Uterin lipomlar son derece nadir görülen benign neoplazmlardır (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) . Uterusta yağ dokusu sıklıkla lipoleiomyomlarda, düz kas dokusu ile birlikte ikinci komponent olarak görülmektedir (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)10) .…”

“…Uterin lipoleiomyomların görülme sıklığı değişik serilerde %0,03-0,2 olarak bildirilmiştir (2)(3)(4)6,(8)(9)(10)(11) .…”
