The purpose of this article is to review the clinical, imaging, and pathologic features of leiomyoma variants.
Fortunately, most of these variants are rare and have a benign natural history, given currently there are no significant series to establish definitive clinical or imaging findings that can reliably distinguish among them. Although there are some suggestive features, the diagnosis of a leiomyoma variant is usually made postoperatively at pathologic examination.
本文旨在综述平滑肌瘤变异型的临床、影像学及病理特征。
幸运的是,这些变异型大多罕见且自然病程呈良性,因为目前尚无大量病例系列来确立能可靠区分它们的明确临床或影像学表现。尽管有一些提示性特征,但平滑肌瘤变异型的诊断通常在术后病理检查时才能做出。
