Dermoid cysts are benign neoplasms deriving from ectoderm and mesoderm and can be found in a variety of locations. Uterine leiomyomas are benign tumors that grow within the muscle tissue of the uterus. Only a few cases have been reported and cited in the literature on dermoid cysts of the urinary bladder, and can be confused with urogenital masses. This paper reports the first case of a dermoid cyst deriving from the bladder dome presenting as subserosal uterine leiomyoma.
A 44-year-old woman was admitted with a history of chronic pelvic pain. After gynecological examination and ultrasonography a subserous uterine myoma was suspected. Tumor resection was performed and the histopathological diagnosis was a dermoid cyst.
To our knowledge this is the first case report of a woman with a dermoid cyst presenting as a subserous uterine myoma.
皮样囊肿是起源于外胚层和中胚层的良性肿瘤，可发生于多种部位。子宫平滑肌瘤是生长在子宫肌组织内的良性肿瘤。关于膀胱皮样囊肿的文献报道较少，且易与泌尿生殖系统肿物混淆。本文报道首例起源于膀胱顶部、表现为浆膜下子宫平滑肌瘤的皮样囊肿病例。
一名44岁女性因慢性盆腔疼痛病史入院。经妇科检查及超声检查后怀疑为浆膜下子宫肌瘤。行肿瘤切除术，组织病理学诊断为皮样囊肿。
据我们所知，这是首例皮样囊肿表现为浆膜下子宫平滑肌瘤的女性病例报告。
