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.

Article Synopsis
- Angioleiomyomas are benign tumors that develop from the smooth muscle of blood vessels and can occur in various body regions, though they are commonly found in the head, neck, and uterus.
- A study examined 191 patients with trunk or extremity angioleiomyomas, finding that a high percentage experienced pain, with most tumors located in the lower extremities; imaging revealed non-specific soft tissue masses and specific characteristics on ultrasound and cross-sectional imaging.
- Key imaging features to identify angioleiomyomas include a soft tissue mass near blood vessels, hypoechoic nature with internal vascularity on ultrasound, and certain MRI characteristics, which can help differentiate them from other conditions.

Background: Angioleiomyoma, a benign tumour composed of smooth muscle cells and thick-walled vessels, is expected to be very rare in the female genital tract. This study aimed to describe the clinicopathological features and treatment outcomes of angioleiomyoma in the female genital tract.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 89 women with angioleiomyoma in the genital tract who were treated at Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between July 2008 and October 2023.

Background: Angioleiomyoma is a benign lesion of mesenchymal origin, which always occurs in the uterine system. Pathologically, angioleiomyoma is usually composed of well-differentiated smooth muscle cells with few mitotic features. However, primary intracranial angioleiomyoma represents an exceedingly rare tumor, since the first case reported in 1994.

Small mammals are very popular companion animals, and the incidence of particular tumour types in these animals is the subject of extensive research. We carried out a retrospective and comparative analysis of the incidence of reproductive tract and mammary tumours and tumour-like lesions collected from 103 pet rabbits, 75 pet rats, 71 guinea pigs, 12 mice, 11 hamsters, eight African pygmy hedgehogs, four ferrets and two chinchillas. The results indicate that uterine tumours and tumour-like lesions are common in pet rabbits, guinea pigs and African pygmy hedgehogs.
