A 79-year-old woman underwent surgical resection of a peripheral, solitary, pulmonary lesion that was diagnosed as malignant PEComa. Her clinical history was positive for uterine leiomyosarcoma, excised 20 years before. Re-evaluation of the primary uterine lesion led to the final diagnosis of lung metastasis from uterine PEComa. While long latency between primary tumour and metastasis is a known and characteristic feature of PEComas, a 20-year interval is unprecedented in the literature.
一位 79 岁女性接受了外周性孤立性肺病变的手术切除,该病变被诊断为恶性的 PEComa。她的临床病史曾显示患有子宫平滑肌肉瘤,20 年前已切除。对原发性子宫病变的重新评估导致最终诊断为源自子宫的 PEComa 的肺转移。虽然原发性肿瘤和转移之间的长潜伏期是 PEComas 的一个已知且特征性的特征,但 20 年的间隔在文献中是前所未有的。
