We describe a rare case of leiomyoma of the chest wall in a 55-year-old female. Computed tomography showed a well-circumscribed neoplasm with a diameter of 2 cm in the right chest wall. The tumor was excised with video-assisted thoracic surgery. Histopathology confirmed that the tumor was leiomyoma arising from the microvascular smooth muscle in the chest wall. We present the immunohistochemical profiles of the tumor in detail, critically reviewing the previously reported cases.
我们描述了一例55岁女性胸壁平滑肌瘤的罕见病例。计算机断层扫描显示右胸壁有一个直径2厘米、边界清晰的肿瘤。该肿瘤通过电视辅助胸腔镜手术切除。组织病理学证实该肿瘤是起源于胸壁微血管平滑肌的平滑肌瘤。我们详细展示了该肿瘤的免疫组化特征,并对先前报道的病例进行了批判性回顾。
