Uterine Leiomyomatosis with Pure Cartilage Metaplasia - A Rare Entity
نویسنده
چکیده
Leiomyomas are benign and most common smooth muscle neoplasm that can occur in any organ most commonly in uterus, small bowel and esophagus. A spectrum of histological variants is noted and metaplasia in leiomyoma is very rare, while adipose metaplasia in leiomyoma is commonly noted. We present a case of pure cartilaginous metaplasia in leiomyoma which is a very rare phenomenon.

Benign metastatic leiomyomatosis (BML) is a rare disease characterized by smooth muscle cell proliferation in extrauterine sites including the lung, abdomen, pelvis, and retroperitoneum. Depending on location, BML is classified as intravenous leiomyomatosis and diffuse peritoneal leiomyomatosis. Pathogenesis of BML can be iatrogenic after previous myomectomy or hysterectomy, hormonal, or coelom...
