The diagnosis of uterine leiomyosarcoma is usually straightforward since most clinically malignant smooth muscle tumors of the uterus show the microscopic constellation of hypercellularity, severe nuclear atypia, and high mitotic rate generally exceeding 15 mitotic figures per 10 high-power-fields (MF/10 HPF). Frequently, one or more supportive clinicopathologic features such as perior postmeno...
متن کاملIntravenous leiomyomatosis of the uterus with pulmonary metastases or a case with benign metastasizing leiomyoma?
BACKGROUND Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is defined as an intraluminal growth of benign smooth muscle cells in either venous or lymphatic vessels outside the confines or even in the absence of leiomyomas. Benign metastasizing uterine leiomyoma is defined as a histologically benign uterine smooth muscle tumor that acts in a somewhat malignant fashion and produces benign metastases. We report ...
متن کاملColorectal mesenchymal tumors - from smooth muscle tumors to stromal tumors.
Colorectal mesenchymal tumors are rare. Therefore, distinguishing between gastrointestinal stromal (GIST) and smooth muscle tumors is important. This study aimed to delineate the immunophenotype and prognostic factors of 75 colorectal mesenchymal tumors. Fifty-three GIST and 22 smooth muscle tumor specimens were included from 1986 to 2007. Forty of 53 GIST were initially diagnosed as smooth mus...
