Abstract

Massive lymphocytic infiltration of the leiomyomas of the uterus is rare and causes diagnostic difficulties. The pathogenesis of this lesion is not clear. The recognition of its distinct histological features is important to avoid possible confusion with differential diagnosis including malignant lymphoma. Only 20 cases have been reported in the literature. We present a case of leiomyoma of the uterus with massive lymphocytic infiltration, and we investigated the literature.

Özet

Yaygın lenfositik infiltrasyon gösteren uterin leiomyomlar nadirdirler ve tanısal güçlüklere yol açarlar. Bu lezyonun patogenezi belli değildir. Farklı histolojik özelliklerinin tanınması ayırıcı tanıda malign lenfoma gibi hastalıklar ile muhtemel karışıklıkları önlemek için önemlidir. Literatürde sadece 20 olgu bildirilmiştir. Biz yaygın lenfositik infiltrasyon gösteren leiomyom olgusunu sunduk ve literatürü gözden geçirdik.
