Perivascular 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...

متن کاملPerivascular 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
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 کاملBroad Ligament Perivascular Epithelioid Cell Tumor (PEComa) of Uncertain Malignant Potential.
PEComas are uncommon mesenchymal tumors often involving the pelvic organs. They have an unpredictable behavior. Accurate diagnosis and long-term follow-up is therefore essential in these patients. We report this case of PEComa of uncertain malignant potential in an unusual location with excellent prognosis.
