A case report of angioleiomyoma of uterus

Abstract: Angioleiomyoma (AL) is a very rare benign tumor that originates from smooth muscle cells and has thick walled vessels. It may be found throughout the body but more frequently occurs in the lower extremities and rarely develops in the head and other parts of the body. This paper presents a case report of giant AL detected in a 33-year-old woman who complained of severe anemia, menorrhagia, and palpable lower abdominal mass. The patient underwent myomectomy and was diagnosed with AL based on the pathological rep… Show more

“…Puede presentarse como una masa multilobulada con configuración sólida y laminada, y con contenido quístico y multiseptado, o como una masa única con o sin signos de necrosis. En la mayoría de las ocasiones es indistinguible de un mioma típico con o sin degeneración 8,[10][11][12] . Pierro et al 13 sugieren que debe considerarse cuando, en una masa de tejido blando uterino bien delimitada, la tomografía computarizada muestra estructuras prominentes, tortuosas y con realce de tipo vascular, realce similar a arena e importante varicocele pélvico con evidente hipertrofia de las arterias uterinas.…”
