Uterine lipoleiomyoma: a benign entity with malignant transformation potential?

Uterine Lipoleiomyoma ( A Case Report )

Uterine lipleiomyoma is a rare variant of leiomyoma with reported prevalence of 0.03% to 0.2%. Lipoleiomyomas of the uterus are typically found in postmenpausal women and in most cases are asymptomatic and are associated with ordinary leiomyomas. This rare tumor is composed of an admixture of mature adipocytes and benign smooth muscle cells. The histogenesis for this tumor is still controversia...

Malignant transformation of uterine leiomyoma

A rare case of malignant transformation of uterine leiomyoma is reported. A 54 year old lady, nulliparous and 2 years postmenopausal presented to gynecology clinic with a pelvi - abdominal mass and ultrasound scan suggestive of multiple uterine fibroid. Total abdominal hysterectomy performed. Histopathology report showed leiomyosarcomative changes from benign leiomyoma within the huge mass.

Uterine Lipoleiomyoma: A Report of Two Cases

We report two cases of uterine lipoleiomyoma in postmenopausal women of ages 52 and 55 years, who presented with complaints of leukorrhea and lower abdominal pain, respectively. Lipoleiomyoma is a rare benign variant of leiomyoma, having an incidence of 0.03%-0.2%. These are benign pelvic tumors which are usually asymptomatic and commonly occur in obese postmenopausal women. However, they can o...

Thymoma: benign appearance, malignant potential.

Thymoma is a rare tumor with a largely indolent growth pattern. It does, however, have malignant potential as a result of its ability to invade locally and metastasize regionally. Often associated with a number of immune- and nonimmune-mediated paraneoplastic syndromes, patient outcomes are directly related to stage of disease and the ability to achieve a complete surgical resection. Surgery is...
