Perivascular Epithelioid Cell Tumor with Uncertain Malignant Potential Arising in the Round Ligament.

A 12-year-old adolescent was diagnosed with a right-sided solid mass in the round ligament of the uterus. The chief complaints were abdominal pain and pelvic discomfort. She underwent laparoscopic tumor resection. Histological examination demonstrated a trabecular growth pattern of epithelioid cells with mitotic activity (3 per 50 HPF), which expressed melanocytic and myoid markers. Due to aforementioned findings, a final diagnosis of perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) with uncertain malignant potential was made. To the best of our knowledge, this localization of PEComa is considered to be infrequent with only occasionally reported cases.
