Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) in the genitourinary tract.
Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are mesenchymal tumors composed of histologically, immunohistochemically, ultrastructurally, and genetically distinctive cells. PEComas have been described in different organs and are considered ubiquitous tumors. In this review we discuss recent informations related to PEComas in the genitourinary tract.
متن کاملPerivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) of the liver diagnosed by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography.
Perivascular epithelioid cell (PEC) is a unique cell which expresses both myogenic and melanocytic markers, and forms PEComa. A 36-year-old woman presented with a 35 mm-diameter liver tumor. MRI showed poor fat component in the tumor. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography using the newly developed enhancing reagent, Sonazoid, clearly demonstrated early-phase enhancement of the tumor and rapid drain...
متن کاملPigmented perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) arising from kidney
INTRODUCTION Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a mesenchymal neoplasm composed of perivascular epithelioid cells with clear to eosinophilic cytoplasm. Pigmented PEComa arising from kidney is extraordinarily rare and sometimes can exhibit aggressive biological behavior. CASE REPORT We present here a rare case of pigmented renal PEComa in a 46-year-old female. The patient had comp...
متن کاملPerivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) in the transverse colon of an adolescent: a case report.
Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is defined as a very rare mesenchymal tumor of histologically and immuno-histochemically distinctive perivascular epithelioid cells. PEComa in the colon is very rare, with only a few reported cases so far. Because of its rarity, the clinical features and biological behavior of PEComa in the colon have yet to be established. A 16-year-old female patie...
متن کاملMalignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) of the femur: a case report and literature review
BACKGROUND We describe a case of malignant perivascular epithelial cell tumor (PEComa) arising primarily in the distal left femur of a 47-year-old male. CASE PRESENTATION The patient presented with pain accompanied by progressive swelling of his left thigh. Computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an osteolytic lesion. Curettage of the lesion was reported as...
