We describe a case of a 63-year-old woman referred to an oncologist for treatment of endometrial adenocarcinoma. A computed tomography scan revealed the incidental finding of a 11.5 × 10.5 × 9.0 cm myomatous mass in the uterine corpus adjacent to, yet uninvolved with, the adenocarcinoma. Histopathological analysis confirmed the mass to be a lipoleiomyoma, a rare single variant of lipoma. These fatty tumors present similar to leiomyomas and as such are generally not harmful; however, the potential exists for diagnostic confusion with other uterine tumors. This case serves to further illuminate the findings associated with these rare tumors.
我们描述了一例63岁女性因子宫内膜腺癌转诊至肿瘤学家处接受治疗的病例。计算机断层扫描偶然发现子宫体有一个11.5×10.5×9.0厘米的肌瘤样肿块，与腺癌相邻但未受其影响。组织病理学分析证实该肿块为脂肪平滑肌瘤，这是一种罕见的脂肪瘤单一变体。这些脂肪性肿瘤的表现与平滑肌瘤相似，因此通常无害；然而，与其他子宫肿瘤存在诊断混淆的可能性。本病例有助于进一步阐明与这些罕见肿瘤相关的发现。
