Cancer. 1985 Sep 1;56(5):1144-6. doi: 10.1002/1097-0142(19850901)56:5<1144::aid-cncr2820560531>3.0.co;2-f.
An 89-year-old asymptomatic white woman was found to have a pelvic mass with retroperitoneal extension. Biopsy of the lesion demonstrated lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Review of her records revealed that 36 years ago a mass in the same location had been found incidentally and biopsy was performed during abdominoperineal resection for rectal carcinoma. Comparison of the old and recent biopsy specimens showed an identical histologic appearance. This case, therefore, represents a benign, localized form of lymphangioleiomyomatosis; the long survival without therapy may be related to the fact that this patient was postmenopausal.
一名89岁无症状白人女性被发现盆腔有肿物并伴有腹膜后延伸。病变活检显示为淋巴管平滑肌瘤病。查阅其病历发现，36年前在同一部位偶然发现一个肿物，在直肠癌腹会阴联合切除术中进行了活检。新旧活检标本对比显示组织学表现相同。因此，该病例代表淋巴管平滑肌瘤病的一种良性局限性形式；未经治疗却长期存活可能与该患者已绝经这一事实有关。
