FDG-PET/CT findings of atypical (bizarre/symplastic) uterine leiomyoma in a patient with abdominal leiomyosarcoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atypical (bizarre) leiomyoma is a benign uterine smooth-muscle tumor characterized by a) a significant number of cells with dense eosinophilic cytoplasm and enlarged, bizarre single/multiple hyperchromatic or multiple nuclei without tumor necrosis and b) poor mitotic activity. We report the case of an atypical (bizarre) leiomyoma revealed by focal fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG) uptake during a PET-CT in a patient with relapsing abdominal and retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma.

Scrotal leiomyomas with atypical bizarre nuclei are rare, which might be misdiagnosed as malignant tumor. We describe a case of scrotal bizarre leiomyoma in a 65-yr-old man. The tumor was a 1 cm-sized, well circumscribed, oval mass arising from the tunica dartos muscle. Histologically, it was formed by whorling bundles of fusiform cells with occasional atypical, pleomorphic nuclei and pseudo-in...

Introduction: Leiomyoma are benign mesenchymal tumors presenting as the most common uterine neoplasm. Atypical leiomyoma (ALM), a nomenclature given in WHO classification, is a leiomyoma variant showing histopathological features ranging between a benign leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma (LMS). It is a rare smooth muscle neoplasm detected mostly on histological examination in myomectomy and hysterec...

The author presents a case of 18F-FDG avid in uterine leiomyoma. A 32-year old female had Hodgkin's lymphoma stage IVb (the primary lesions at bilateral supraclavicular right paratracheal, subcarina, intraabdominal, bilateral iliac lymph nodes with liver spleen and bone marrow involvement). She was sent for 18F-FDG PET/CT scan for detection of active lymphoma after chemotherapy treatment. The p...
