An atypical leiomyoadenomatoid tumor of the uterus--a case report and literature review.

UNLABELLED: In this study, we describe morphological and immunohistochemical features of a mixed tumor (atypical leiomyoadenomatoid tumor - LMAT) localized in the body of the uterus.

AIM OF STUDY: LMAT-type tumors are very rare and only 5 cases have been described in the literature so far therefore this case report seems particularly noteworthy.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

A 57-year-old patient was admitted to the Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit, Brothers of Mercy Hospital in Katowice for hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy due to uterine myomata. The macroscopic examination of the surgical material revealed a polycystic tumor 5 cm in diameter with gelatinous contents and grey fibrous areas. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 4, in good general condition. A histological diagnosis of an atypical leiomyoadenomatoid tumor was established on the basis of the tissue material.
