Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are a rare group of mesenchymal neoplasms composed of perivascular epithelioid cells. While commonly found in the kidney, uterus, and soft tissues, PEComas of the liver are exceedingly rare.  We present a case of a PEComa incidentally discovered in a 73-year-old female patient undergoing evaluation for abdominal pain.

The distinction between a uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) and a perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasm (PEComa) can be quite challenging. Here we report a 39-year-old woman who underwent a hysteroscopic myomectomy. An intraoperative frozen section pathological examination revealed that the mass was likely to be a mesenchymal malignancy.

In recent years, they have increasingly been classified by their underlying molecular alterations, leading to a more precise separation of diagnostic entities. As their diagnostic criteria have been refined, so too have the features that can be used to predict clinical outcomes.

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms, commonly found in the uterus and retroperitoneum. Renal PEComas are exceedingly rare, often posing diagnostic challenges due to their resemblance to renal cell carcinoma (RCC) on imaging. We present the case of an 18-year-old male who presented with non-specific symptoms of fever, chills, and shivering.

BACKGROUND Perivascular epitheloid cell neoplasm (PEComa) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that is evaluated in the same tumor family as angiomyolipoma, sugar cell tumor of the lung, and lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Immunohistochemically, the disease can express melanocytic and myogenic markers, such as HMB45, HMSA1, MelanA/Mart1, and actin. The disease can be seen in almost every organ, especially the uterus and retroperitoneum.
