Malignant Perivascular epithelioid cell tumour of the uterus without TFE3 gene rearrangement: a case report
PEComa of the gynecologic tract is a rare and challenging entity. Diffuse HMB-45 expression, TSC alterations and TFE3 rearrangement are characteristic of uterine PEComas. Surgical resection is the first choice. Genetic testing is helpful for determining the nature of the mass and for choosing targeted therapy. Further research is needed to establish treatment protocols.
