Ginekol Pol. 2013 Aug;84(8):730-2. doi: 10.17772/gp/1632.

Abstract

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.
