(1) Background/Aim: In clinical practice, uterine lipoleiomyomas are variants of uterine leiomyomas that are often found incidentally and do not require surgical treatment unless the patient is symptomatic. Therefore, these should be clinically differentiated from lesions that need surgical treatment. Conversely, hemangiomas, or blood vessel benign tumors, rarely develop in the uterus; however, many clinical complications such as abdominal pain and excessive vaginal bleeding result from a uterine hemangioma. Hemangiomas can occur at any age and primarily affect pregnant women. (2) Materials and Methods: The oncological properties of uterine lipoleiomyoma and hemangioma in adults were investigated using molecular pathological examination on tissue excised from patients with a uterine tumor. (3) Results: Through molecular pathological studies, which included potential biomarkers for uterine mesenchymal tumors, a differential diagnosis was established for a case of mesenchymal tumor. Herein, we report a 54-year-old non-pregnant woman who presented with vaginal bleeding and underwent hysterectomy after detection of a 140 × 100 mm intramural mass diagnosed as a concurrent uterine hemangioma and lipoleiomyoma after molecular histopathologic examinations. (4) Conclusion: As far as we know, our case is the first patient of concurrent uterine hemangioma and lipoleiomyoma. Hence, the possibility of several types of mesenchymal tumors must be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with abnormal vaginal bleeding. As such, molecular pathological examination and close monitoring of the MRI results should be conducted by medical staff while considering the patient's desire for pregnancy, including surgical treatment options for uterine hemangioma.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study evaluates intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL), a rare tumor, over a 20-year period, offering insights into its characteristics and prognosis through a comprehensive classification system for surgical management.
  • - Researchers reviewed data from 216 patients who underwent IVL resection, finding that recurrence rates differed significantly between complete and incomplete resection groups, with specific factors influencing outcomes.
  • - This report, the largest of its kind, enhances understanding of IVL clinical features and long-term results while providing a useful classification tool for assessing lesion severity and guiding surgical decisions.

Department of Pathology, School of Medical Sciences, Health Campus, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, Malaysia.

Article Synopsis
  • Placental chorioangioma is a benign tumor typically without complications, but this case involves a large tumor leading to serious maternal and fetal issues during labor.
  • A 38-year-old woman with a history of miscarriage experienced preterm labor at 33 weeks due to a 12x10 cm placental tumor and underwent an emergency caesarean delivery after signs of fetal distress.
  • Following delivery, the mother and baby faced complications, including postpartum hemorrhage and neonatal anemia, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach to manage such cases effectively.

Article Synopsis
  • - Uterine leiomyosarcomas (uLMS) are common tumors in the female reproductive system, and their genetics are complex, involving the Hippo pathway, which plays a role in various cancer types through its effectors YAP1 and TAZ.
  • - A study analyzed tissue samples from 32 uLMS patients, looking at the Hippo pathway's role and its relation to clinical factors such as age, stage, and treatment outcomes.
  • - The results showed that 62.5% of patients had disrupted Hippo signaling, and this was linked to improved overall survival rates, suggesting the pathway's significance in uLMS development and prognosis.

Unexpected placental tumor: A case report.

Int J Surg Case Rep

August 2024

Tunis El Manar University, Faculty of Medicine of Tunis, 1007 Tunis, Tunisia; Charles Nicolle Hospital, Department of Pathology, Tunis, Tunisia.

Introduction And Importance: Placental non-trophoblastic tumors (PNTT) are uncommon, consisting mainly of chorangiomas, placental teratomas (PT) and haemangiomas. PT are exceedingly rare, with less than 40 cases reported in the literature. We, herein, present a case of mature PT arising within the membranes, and we aim to discuss the clinico-pathological characteristics of this rare entity.
