We present the histopathological findings of a series of six cases of a benign uterine smooth muscle tumour with an unusual growth pattern.
All cases have the appearances of the recently described dissecting (cotyledonoid) leiomyoma. In addition, three of these lesions demonstrate the features of intravenous leiomyomatosis with varying degrees of hydropic degeneration.
This combination of phenotypes has not previously been described within the literature; therefore we propose that these are classified as examples of 'cotyledonoid hydropic intravenous leiomyomatosis', a new variant of unconventional leiomyoma.
我们展示了一系列6例具有不寻常生长模式的良性子宫平滑肌瘤的组织病理学发现。
所有病例均具有最近描述的剥离性（子叶样）平滑肌瘤的外观。此外，其中3个病变表现出静脉内平滑肌瘤病的特征，并伴有不同程度的水样变性。
这种表型组合在以往文献中未曾描述过；因此，我们建议将这些病例归类为“子叶样水样静脉内平滑肌瘤病”的实例，这是一种非传统平滑肌瘤的新变体。
