Lipomatous uterine neoplasms are extremely uncommon lesions with a reported incidence of 0.01% to 0.2%. These lesions frequently pose a diagnostic challenge not only for the clinician but also for radiologists and pathologists alike. Diagnosis requires a multidisciplinary as well as multimodality approach. A 42-year-old peri-menopausal lady presented with abdominal distension, pain and irregular menstrual bleeding. On radiology, an intra-abdodominal hetergenous mass was seen suggestive of neoplastic etiology, possibly intraperitoneal liposarcoma. Microscopy revealed numerous adipocyte clusters intersecting the smooth muscle bundles, diagnostic of lipoleiomyoma. The present case is unusual as the patient had both intramural and broad ligament lipoleiomyoma. Through the present case we revisit clinical and morphological findings of lipoleiomyomas along with review of cases published in literature till date.

Diffuse Abdominal Pain

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare clinical condition defined as extensive intraperitoneal spread of mucus associated with a variety of mucinous tumors. Although appendix has usually been implicated as the primary site, some reports found no cause. This case also describes a PMP with no identifiable primary site. A 52-year-old male presented with an abdominal distension evolving for 3 months associated with diffuse abdominal pain, imaging techniques objective intra peritoneal mucoid materials with septated ascites but it failed to identify the primary site. Exploratory laparotomy with Biopsy confirmed PMP but also failed to found the original site.

AbstractLeiomyosarcoma is a malignant tumour of smooth muscle origin. These tumours are rarely encountered in the head and neck region. A case of leiomyosarcoma of the auricle is presented. There are two cases of external auditory canal leiomyosarcoma in the literature. To our knowledge the present case is the first example of leiomyosarcoma of the auricle.

Abstract Adenomyoma is a benign tumor composed of smooth muscle and benign endometrium. These tumors typically originate within the uterus. An extrauterine adenomyoma is a rare entity. We report a uterine-like mass consistent with an extrauterine adenomyoma presenting 22 years following a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The mass was pear-shaped with uterine-type smooth muscle and a cavity lined by functional endometrial glands and stroma. To our knowledge, only 4 other cases of an extrauterine uterine-like mass are reported in the literature. Three involved the ovary, while one was located adjacent to the broad ligament with normal pelvic organs. Although none of these other uterus-like masses were described as adenomyomas with uterine-like features, the histologic findings are strikingly similar. An understanding of the müllerian system suggests that either an embryologic malformation or a differential multipotentiality existing in the subcoelomic tissues in response to hormonal stimulation results in a supernumerary müllerian structure like a uterus, as observed in this case. The presence of endometrial glands and stroma in the mass confirms that the tissues in this mass are hormonally responsive. It is most likely that this uterine-like mass arose from the tissues of the secondary müllerian system in response to estrogenic stimulation.

Epithelial Metaplasia

Endometrial epithelial metaplasia is described as transition of the normal endometrial epithelial cells by benign complex proliferation of cells. These metaplastic changes have been frequently reported as associated changes in endometrial hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma more than non-neoplastic samples and are also known to appear atypical occasionally, and hence can be a diagnostic challenge. Eosinophilic cell change is one of the most frequently encountered endometrial metaplasias. Eosinophilic syncytial change is a form of eosinophilic endometrial metaplasia, and is known to mimic endometrial serous carcinoma, again posing a diagnostic challenge. In this article, we have presented a case of endometrial eosinophilic metaplasia in a 47-year-old patient along with a brief discussion on immunohistochemical characteristics of eosinophilic syncytial change that could help pathologists to differentiate them from malignancies in challenging scenarios.
