AI Article Synopsis

  • Ovarian leiomyomas are very rare tumors, and this case discusses a 50-year-old woman with both ovarian and uterine leiomyomas.
  • A PET-CT scan indicated an abnormality, leading to further imaging which revealed a significant ovarian tumor as well as endometrial issues.
  • The patient underwent surgical procedures and the tumor was identified as a primary ovarian leiomyoma, showing no signs of recurrence during a follow-up after 6 months.

Article Abstract

Ovarian leiomyomas are very rare. We report the case of a primary ovarian leiomyoma accompanied by multiple uterine leiomyomas. A 50-year-old woman was referred to our department for heavy menstruation, and a hot spot in the uterine lumen was observed on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT). Cervical and endometrial cytology and tumor marker tests were negative. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging revealed an endometrial polyp and submucosal leiomyoma in the uterine lumen and a 5-cm right ovarian tumor. Laparoscopic total hysterectomy, right salpingo-oophorectomy, and left salpingectomy were performed for radical treatment. Histopathology showed that ovarian tumors contained interlacing bundles of fusiform cells encircled by normal ovarian tissue. Immunohistochemical staining showed strong and diffuse positive staining for α-smooth muscle actin. We diagnosed the tumor as a primary ovarian leiomyoma because the leiomyoma was localized in the ovary and was larger than the size of uterine leiomyomas. No metastatic lesion was found on PET-CT. There was no tumor recurrence at the 6-month follow-up.
