Giant Leiomyoadenomatoid Tumor of the Uterus: A Case Report

Adenomatoid tumors are benign mesothelial neoplasms most commonly arising in the genital tract.When the smooth muscle component predominates over the adenomatoid component, the lesion istermed a leiomyoadenomatoid tumor (LMAT), which may mimic leiomyoma or even malignancy. Accurate diagnosis is therefore essential to avoid overtreatment. We report a case of a 52-year-old woman who underwent total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for presumed uterine leiomyoma. Histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation revealed a leiomyoadenomatoid tumor measuring 11 cm, to the best of our knowledge, among the largest reported cases in the literature. The patient remained asymptomatic with no recurrence during atwo-year follow-up. This case highlights that large tumor size does not exclude LMAT, that histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation is essential, and that accurate diagnosis prevents overtreatment.

Abstract

Adenomatoid tumors are benign mesothelial neoplasms most commonly arising in the genital tract.When the smooth muscle component predominates over the adenomatoid component, the lesion istermed a leiomyoadenomatoid tumor (LMAT), which may mimic leiomyoma or even malignancy. Accurate diagnosis is therefore essential to avoid overtreatment. We report a case of a 52-year-old woman who underwent total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for presumed uterine leiomyoma. Histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation revealed a leiomyoadenomatoid tumor measuring 11 cm, to the best of our knowledge, among the largest reported cases in the literature. The patient remained asymptomatic with no recurrence during atwo-year follow-up. This case highlights that large tumor size does not exclude LMAT, that histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation is essential, and that accurate diagnosis prevents overtreatment.
