Highly cellular leiomyoma mimics a malignant small round-cell tumor: a diagnostic dilemma on frozen sections.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE Cellular leiomyoma is characterized by significantly increased cellularity and may mimic malignant tumors. Our aim was to differentiate these from other malignant small round-cell tumors. CASE REPORT We report a case of cellular leiomyoma that mimicked a malignant small round-cell tumor upon frozen section examination. CONCLUSION Pathologists should be aware that highly cellular leiomyomas can mimic malignant tumors especially on frozen section analysis.

We report a case of a 45-year-old woman who had a palpable mass in the left lower quadrant of the abdomen. Computed tomography (CT) showed a circumscribed mass in the left round ligament of the uterus. The mass had heterogeneous density and enhancement accompanied by mottled calcification, which was initially identified as a leiomyoma. A histopathological examination revealed a malignant periva...

Immunohistochemical demonstration of tumor-associated markers may be valuable as an adjunct to conventional histology for determination of malignancy development in oral mucosal diseases. Accordingly, the present study determined the distribution of some important tumor markers such as heat shock proteins (HSP), fibroblast growth factors (FGF) and transferrin receptors (TF-R) in 22 samples ...
