Broad Ligament Perivascular Epithelioid Cell Tumor (PEComa) of Uncertain Malignant Potential.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

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...

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComa) are a rare type of mesenchymal tumor arising from perivascular epithelial cells. These tumor cells are a co-expression of both melanocytic and myogenic antigens, such as HMB 45 and smooth muscle actin, and at least in some patients, are located around vessels. PEComas has been reported at various sites, including visceral organs, soft tissue, the pr...

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComa) are mesenchymal tumors composed of histologically and immunohistochemically distinctive perivascular epithelial cells. Although the uterine corpus seems to be one of the most prevalent sites of involvement, PEComa of the uterine cervix are very rare. Only four cervical PEComa cases have been described, and were treated with hysterectomy and radiothe...
