Uterine hemangiopericytoma is reported in a 49 years old woman. It is a very rare tumour. The treatment of choice is total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Uterine hemangiopericytoma are of low malignancy with favourable prognosis and do seldom recur.

Article Synopsis
- Uterine hemangiopericytoma is a very rare tumor, as detailed in a case study involving a patient.
- The tumor significantly invaded surrounding structures, including the inferior vena cava and pulmonary artery, and showed unusual characteristics on echocardiography.
- Despite resection surgery, the patient experienced a recurrence with a pelvic nodule developing three months later.

Fumarate hydratase-deficient leiomyomas (dFH leiomyomas) often display atypical pathologic features yet exhibit a benign clinical course. Recent data suggest that dFH leiomyomas may be misclassified as smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential, a category that encompasses a heterogenous subgroup of uterine neoplasms with smooth muscle differentiation and atypical features that impart ambiguity regarding their expected clinical behavior. dFH leiomyomas can be seen in the context of hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma syndrome or in the sporadic setting.

Background: Reports of metastatic sarcoma to the pancreas are limited. We reviewed the clinicopathologic characteristics of such cases.
Methods: We reviewed 124 cases of metastatic tumors to the pancreas diagnosed at Asan Medical Center between 2000 and 2017.
A 44-yr-old woman with menorrhagia and uterine fibroids underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy, revealing several submucosal, intramural, and subserosal tan-white nodules in the uterus. Microscopic examination revealed tumors displaying 3 distinct morphologies: 1 tumor with features of conventional leiomyoma; 1 tumor with increased cellularity, staghorn/hemangiopericytoma-like vasculature, and occasional atypical cells with prominent red nucleoli and some perinucleolar halos suggesting a fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient atypical leiomyoma; and 1 tumor with an admixture of epithelioid and spindled cells with the former arranged around blood vessels suggesting a perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa). Immunohistochemical studies confirmed these diagnoses by demonstrating loss of FH expression in the atypical leiomyoma and diffuse expression of HMB45 and cathepsin K in the tumor with epithelioid features.
