We present the first case of low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) invading a leiomyoma, which was difficult to diagnose preoperatively. A 49-year-old multiparous woman was referred to our institution due to the enlargement of an old leiomyoma after menopause. Transvaginal ultrasonography revealed a 40-mm lesion in the myometrium of the uterine body with calcification and edema.

Primary pelvic peritoneal masses, not arising from major organs, are uncommon in adults. Leiomyomas are a group of benign smooth muscle tumors, most commonly found in the uterus in premenopausal women (70-80%). Extra-uterine locations are very rare and more frequent in women.

Most cases are benign; less than 5% of all Brenner tumors are borderline or proliferative. Brenner tumors originate from the follicular epithelium and consist of ovarian transitional cells surrounded by fibrous tissue.

Article Synopsis
- Fibrin-associated large B-cell lymphoma (FA-LBCL) is a rare lymphoma linked to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), as demonstrated in a case of a 53-year-old woman with a right ovarian mass.
- The patient presented with bloating and weight gain, leading to the discovery of a large cystic mass, which upon surgical examination revealed atypical lymphoid cells and was diagnosed as EBV-positive FA-LBCL.
- After receiving a standard chemotherapy regimen (R-CHOP), the patient showed no signs of disease and is currently in remission, highlighting the importance of recognizing and correctly diagnosing this uncommon lymphoma type.
Case report: Bladder leiomyoma presenting as dysuria.

Department of Radiology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Leiomyoma of the bladder is an unusual cause of benign smooth muscle tumor, only reported about 250 times in the literature. Imaging studies including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are useful in defining the extent and location of the tumor, however, immunohistology samples must be obtained to rule out similar appearing cancerous masses. In this article, we report the case of a 50-year-old male diagnosed with leiomyoma of the bladder that initially presented as dysuria and raised suspicion of a bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC).
