Abstract: | Uterine angiomyolipomas are rare lesions composed of mature adipose tissue, smooth muscle, fibrous connective tissue, and blood vessels in varying proportions. We reported the first case of angiomyolipoma associated with a normal pregnancy. Initially, the tumor developed intramurally and could have been confused with a partial molar gestation. After delivery, tumor development was extensive and subserosal, making differential diagnosis from a sarcoma difficult. The question of histological diagnosis, as well as that of immunocytochemical analysis which seems to be helpful in such cases, is discussed here. |
