Angioleiomyoma (ALM) is a rare and painful, benign neoplasm that is referred to an uncommon type of leiomyoma originating from smooth muscle cells of arterial and venous walls. ALM is very rarely found in the female genital organs such as uterus or ovary. Herein, we present the case of a huge primary ovarian ALM in a 35 year-old woman, clinically and radiologically mimicking an ovarian fibroma, which histologically has diffuse myxoid degeneration. This is the third case of ovarian ALM and the first case of ovarian ALM with diffuse degeneration reported in English literatures, to the best of our knowledge.
血管平滑肌瘤（ALM）是一种罕见且疼痛的良性肿瘤，被认为是一种起源于动静脉壁平滑肌细胞的不常见类型的平滑肌瘤。ALM在女性生殖器官如子宫或卵巢中非常罕见。在此，我们报告一例35岁女性的巨大原发性卵巢ALM病例，其临床和影像学表现类似卵巢纤维瘤，组织学上有弥漫性黏液样变性。据我们所知，这是英文文献中报道的第三例卵巢ALM病例，也是第一例伴有弥漫性变性的卵巢ALM病例。
