Uterine PEComatosis With TSC1 Mutation in a Patient With Tuberous Sclerosis: Case Report and Literature Review.

Uterine PEComatosis is a rare phenomenon characterized by the presence of multiple perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) and/or microscopic proliferations of perivascular epithelioid cells. Herein, we report a case of PEComatosis arising in a 49-yr-old woman with a known history of tuberous sclerosis. Targeted next-generation sequencing revealed a TSC1 stopgain mutation (p.Q732X) in all tested nodules, with single-copy TSC1 loss or copy-neutral TSC1 loss of heterozygosity. To our knowledge, this is the second report of TSC1 inactivation in uterine PEComa and the first report of confirmed TSC1 abnormalities in PEComatosis.
