Abstract

We report a case of a mediastinal angioleiomyoma. The patient was a 64-year-old previously healthy man. Computed tomographic scan revealed a well-circumscribed tumor with a diameter of approximately 2 cm in the right anterior mediastinum. We removed the tumor through a midline sternotomy. Microscopic examination revealed a highly vascular mesenchymal tumor without cellular dysplasia or mitotic figures.

Spontaneously ruptured uterine angioleiomyoma.

Angioleiomyoma is an uncommon type of leiomyoma of the uterus that originates from smooth muscle cells and contains thick-walled vessels. A 45-year-old woman with the complaint of lower abdominal pain was admitted to the hospital. In the operation a ruptured, bleeding uterine tumor was seen. She underwent total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. On pathologic examination of the specimen, the tumor was diagnosed as angioleiomyoma. Here, an unusual clinical presentation of uterine angioleiomyoma was reported.

Giant perianal angiomyofibroblastoma--a case report.

A 45-year old female had a long history of slow growing perianal tumor at the right side of her anus. Encapsulated tumour was found intraoperatively and completely excised using the Harmonic Scalpel. Tumour was well-circumscribed and relatively firm; measuring 12x6x4 cm. Histologically it was composed of oval to spindle cells with minimal nuclear atypia, set in mucous matrix with numerous thin-walled blood vessels. Immunohistochemically, expression of smooth-muscle actin and desmin, as well as estrogen and progesterone receptor were found in the tumour cells. The diagnosis of angiomyofibroblastoma was established. This rare benign tumour typically involves vulvovaginal, pelvic and perinal region. It is important to separate this neoplasm from locally invasive aggressive angiomyxoma and low grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, which can arise in the the same localisation. The patient was discharged on the third postoperative day and no recurrence was noted in 18 months follow-up.
