Leiomyoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor that develops from smooth muscle cells. It can present in various histological variants. Leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei is an infrequent variant of uterine smooth muscle neoplasm. It is characterized by focally or diffusely distributed bizarre cells on the background of a typical leiomyoma. These bizarre cells are large, multinucleated, or multilobulated and have an eosinophilic cytoplasm. Even though leiomyomas with bizarre nuclei display benign clinical behavior, their differential diagnosis from leiomyosarcoma can sometimes be difficult. Leiomyoma has been described most commonly in the uterus. There is no case of leiomyoma originating from paratubal cysts described in the literature. In this article, we present a rare case of leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei originating from a paratubal cyst.
平滑肌瘤是一种源自平滑肌细胞的良性间叶性肿瘤。它可以呈现出各种组织学变体。核异型平滑肌瘤是子宫平滑肌肿瘤的一种罕见变体。其特征是在典型平滑肌瘤的背景下,局灶性或弥漫性分布奇异细胞。这些奇异细胞体积大、多核或多叶状,胞质嗜酸性。尽管核异型平滑肌瘤表现出良性的临床行为,但有时很难将其与平滑肌肉瘤区分开来。平滑肌瘤最常见于子宫。文献中没有描述源自副输卵管囊肿的平滑肌瘤的病例。本文报道了一例源自副输卵管囊肿的罕见核异型平滑肌瘤病例。
