Lymphangioleiomyomatosis is a rare disease that is characterized by proliferation of abnormal smooth muscle-like cells, especially that which occurs in the pulmonary parenchyme. It primarily affects women of child-bearing age. The majority of primary lymphangioleiomyomatosis occurs in the lung, but there are a few reports of extrapulmonary cases. We experienced a rare case of lymphangioleiomyomatosis which originated in the pelvic cavity (in the posterior portion of the uterus), and report with brief review of literatures.
淋巴管平滑肌瘤病是一种罕见的疾病,其特征是异常平滑肌样细胞的增殖,特别是发生在肺实质中。它主要影响育龄妇女。大多数原发性淋巴管平滑肌瘤病发生在肺部,但也有少数肺外病例的报告。我们遇到了一例罕见的起源于盆腔(子宫后部)的淋巴管平滑肌瘤病病例,并结合文献进行了简要回顾。
