angiomyoma/プロゲステロン

Angioleiomyoma of the nasal cavity is extremely rare. There are only a small number of studies in the literature that demonstrate that the estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) are expressed in angioleiomyoma, and the results from these studies are inconsistent. The present study

In recent years sex steroid receptors have been identified in several types of human neoplasia. Angioleiomyoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus is an extremely rare benign neoplasm which is more common in females (3.75:1 female:male ratio). To the best of our knowledge, only approximately 25

Angioleiomyoma in the buccal space is a less common benign neoplasm. To the best of our knowledge, only two cases have been described. We herein describe a new case of angioleiomyoma in the buccal space of a 45-year-old Japanese woman. No specific features were observed on clinical examination or

Vascular leiomyoma (VL) is a solitary and rare form of leiomyoma that usually occurs in the skin or subcutaneous tissue of the lower extremities. Intranasal VL is extremely rare, probably due to the lack of smooth muscle in the nasal cavity. In this study, we report a case of a 70-year-old woman

Uterine angioleiomyoma (AL) is an extremely rare variant of leiomyoma and only 15 cases have been reported till date. Herein we present a case of AL of the uterus in a 39-year-old multiparous female with polymenorrhagia and pain abdomen. A pelvic ultrasonogram showed a large heterogeneously

The female genital tract is a rare site for angioleiomyoma. Here, we present an unusual case of bilateral large angioleiomyoma in the broad ligaments. A 52-year-old woman underwent total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy due to massive tumors in the bilateral adnexal regions. Gross

Angioleiomyoma (AL) is a benign tumor derived from smooth muscle. The overwhelming majority of ALs occur in the uterus, gastrointestinal tract, or skin; AL of the oral cavity is infrequent, and AL of the tongue is particularly rare. The present report describes a case of AL of the tongue that

Leiomyoma of the lung is extremely rare. The entity is not described in WHO blue book. Less than 100 cases of leiomyoma of the lung have been reported in the literature. However, vascular leiomyoma has not been reported in the literature, to the author's best knowledge. Herein reported is the first

Uterine angioleiomyoma is an extremely rare and unique variant of leiomyoma. It usually occurs in middle-aged women, who commonly present with menorrhagia, abdominal pain, or abdominal mass. The lesions are either single or multiple and manifest as submucosal, intramural, or subserosal whorled

Orbital cavernous hemangiomas (OCH) have thick and highly cellular vascular walls. Ultrastructural studies have demonstrated the smooth muscle nature of these cells. Vascular neoplasms can modify their morphological and clinical features under hormonal stimulation. The purpose of the present study

Smooth muscle tumours (SMTs) have been traditionally divided into benign leiomyomas (LM) and malignant leiomyosarcomas (LMS) based on cytological atypia, mitotic activity and other criteria. In most instances, this dichotomous approach works, but in some instances the biological potential cannot be

The Authors describe a rare case of cutaneous angiolipoleiomyoma in an acral location together with a brief literature review. A 62-year-old male presented with a slow-growing asymptomatic nodule, 2.2 cm in diameter, located in the subcutaneous tissue of the left calf. Ten months after surgical
