UTERINE ANGIOLEIOMYOMAS: A REPORT OF 2 CASES
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 18
Abstract
Angioleiomyomas are relatively common neoplasms in skin and superficial planes of extremities (89%), head (48%) and trunk (14%). These tumours are extremely rare in uterus with very few cases described in the literature. These cases have been described with varied names like angiomyoma, angioleiomyoma, or vascular leiomyoma. There is no description of angioleiomyoma as an entity or as a variant of leiomyoma in the latest WHO classification of uterine tumours. There is a mention of vascular leiomyoma as a differential diagnosis of hemangioma under rare mesenchymal tumors but no description provided. A proposal has been made by Glenn Mc Cluggage et.al that angioleiomyoma should be included among the benign leiomyoma variants in the next WHO classification
