Leiomyosarcoma of Uterus in a Nulliparous Female: Mimicking as Ovarian Malignancy

Giant Primary Omental Leiomyosarcoma Mimicking Ovarian Malignancy

Unilateral ovarian agenesis and clear cell type epithelioid leiomyoma of uterus mimicking ovarian malignancy.

A case of unilateral absent ovary together with clear cell type epithelioid leiomyoma of uterus mimicking ovarian malignancy discovered during laparotomy is presented. Unilateral absence of an ovary is an extremely rare finding. Although the exact pathophysiological mechanism is not known, it could result from a defect in embryological development or asymptomatic torsion of ovary. Clear cell ty...

An unusual case of pedunculated subserosal leiomyosarcoma of the uterus mimicking ovarian carcinoma

BACKGROUND Leiomyosarcoma of the uterus is an extremely rare but highly aggressive tumor that accounts for only 1-2 % of uterine malignancies, and is usually associated with a dismal outcome. CASE PRESENTATION The authors present an unusual case of pedunculated subserosal leiomyosarcoma of the uterus mimicking ovarian carcinoma. A 57-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with progressive lo...

Decidualized Ovarian Mass Mimicking Malignancy

Deciduosis classically occurs in the context of known endometriosis in the pelvis, most commonly in the ovaries, but also in the peritoneum. However, ovarian deciduosis outside the context of endometriosis is rare and makes diagnosis difficult, especially as the sonographic appearance suggests a malignant process. We report a case of decidualized ovarian mass in a patient without prior history ...

A case of cystic leiomyoma mimicking an ovarian malignancy.

INTRODUCTION We report an unusual case of a large cystic, pedunculated uterine leiomyoma mimicking a primary malignant ovarian tumour on sonography and computed tomography (CT). CLINICAL PICTURE A 56-year-old post-menopausal woman presented with a right pelviabdominal mass. Sonography and CT examination showed a large extrauterine mass arising from the right adnexa and extending into the abdo...
