Perivascular Epithelioid Cell tumor (PEComa) is a rare neoplasm of mesenchymal origin, with the uterus being the most common site of appearance, regarding the female genital tract.
We present two cases of PEComas of the uterus in patients aged 57 and 42-years-old, presented to our department with palpable abdominal masses and abnormal vaginal bleeding. During follow up period, both patients are free of recurrent disease one and two years after surgery, respectively, without receiving any adjuvant treatment.
PEComa of the female gynecological tract is a rare entity presenting with variable symptoms and different prognosis for each individual case. The diagnosis is based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry reports and the optimal treatment is the surgical resection of the tumor.
