A case of a cervical angioleiomyoma presenting with menorrhagia and pelvic pain: a common presentation of a rare tumour.

摘要

Uterine polyps are a common cause of menstrual irregularities for women around the perimenopausal age. Histology commonly shows typical features of a benign rounded smooth surfaced mass, with endometrial glands being distributed throughout a vascular stroma. The glands may show some cystic dilation and architectural distortion, but no evidence of hyperplasia or atypia. Angioleiomyoma is a rare benign neoplasm that originates from smooth muscle cells and contains thick-walled vessels (Hachisuga et al. 1984). We present a case of a patient with a cervical angioleiomyoma.
