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 کاملPigmented perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) arising from kidney

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 کاملPerivascular epithelioid tumor (PEComa) of the falciform/ broad ligament.
PEComas localized in the region of falciform ligament and broad ligament are exceedingly rare. Most of them are built of spindle neoplastic cells. We report a case of epithelioid PEComa of the falciform ligament and/or broad ligament. There is only one report of such neoplasm in English-language literature. Histologically, the tumor was composed of nests of epithelioid clear cells stained posit...
