A case of intrascrotal atypical leiomyoma is reported. This lesion is extremely rare and usually misdiagnosed. Microscopically, contain bizarre and pleomorphic tumor cells, as well as showed immunohistochemical evidence of smooth muscle differentiation. An important microscopic criterion in the distinction with other entity, as the leiomyosarcoma, is the number of mitotic figures, scarce in the atypical leiomyoma and high in the smooth muscle tumours malignant.

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.

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.
