“…According to many authors, differential preoperative diagnosis of that AL variant with other tumours is extremely difficult, and therefore it is not usually made until microscopic examination has been performed [1, 3, 8]. Differential diagnosis based on histopathological and immunohistochemical findings considers fibroma, angiofibroma, angiolipoma, and angiomyofibroblastoma, which are vimentin- and desmin-positive but smooth muscle actin-(SMA) negative [25].…”

IntroductionUterine angioleiomyoma (AL) is an extremely rare variant of uterine leiomyoma. It is composed of smooth muscle cells and thick-walled blood vessels. Angioleiomyoma usually occurs in middle-aged women, 40-60 years old. Aim of the study was to review of literature research reports on uterine AL. Discussion of nine case reports of uterine AL in the patients operated on in our ward.Material and methodsThe paper presents analysis of accessible research reports on uterine AL, and medical records of the patients operated on in our ward.ResultsMean age of the patients with uterine AL was 47.11 ±5.21, body mass index (BMI) 25.88 ±3.95. All women had given birth (1-5 natural deliveries, 2.44 mean). Uterine AL occurred in 0.34% to 0.40% cases of leiomyomas. Angioleiomyoma were located intramurally and subserosally in six and three patients (respectively, 66.7% and 33.3%). Laparotomy was undertaken in seven cases (77.8%), transvaginal access in two cases (22.2%), and myomectomy in one case (11.1%). Blood transfusion was required in four cases (44.4%).ConclusionsIn the group of uterine leiomyomas, uterine ALs occurred in 0.34-0.40% of cases. Angioleiomyoma cases posed a greater risk of complications threatening the patient’s health and life. Preoperative differentiation of AL with ovarian tumour was more difficult due to frequent degenerative lesions in the course of uterine AL.

“…Uterine angioleiomyomas should be recognized as a distinct entity. As also proposed by Sahu et al, 3 be included in the World Health Organization Classification of tumors of the Female Genital Tract as a benign leiomyoma variant similar to cellular and atypical leiomyoma. Definite treatment includes either angio-myomectomy with tumourfree margins or simple hysterectomy; both of these are effective treatments leading to a satisfactory outcome.…”
