A rare abdominal wall tumor with features of lipoleiomyoma was found in a Filipino woman. This benign adipose and smooth muscle tumor highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis in abdominal masses.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical pathology
  • Abdominal wall tumors
  • Soft tissue neoplasms

Background:

  • Lipoleiomyomas are rare benign tumors typically found in the uterus.
  • Primary adipose and smooth muscle tumors of the abdominal wall are uncommon.
  • This case presents a diagnostic challenge due to its resemblance to uterine lipoleiomyoma.

Observation:

  • An 11 cm encapsulated ovoid mass was identified in the anterior abdominal wall.
  • The tumor exhibited a uniform white cut surface.
  • Histological examination revealed mature adipose tissue and smooth muscle bundles.

Findings:

  • Immunohistochemical staining (desmin positivity) and electron microscopy confirmed smooth muscle differentiation.
  • The tumor was histologically similar to a uterine lipoleiomyoma but was not attached to the uterus.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The patient also had uterine leiomyomas, adenomyosis, a subcutaneous lipoma, and chronic schistosomiasis.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the differential diagnosis for abdominal wall masses.
    • Accurate histological and immunohistochemical evaluation is crucial for correct tumor classification.
    • Understanding the diverse origins of soft tissue tumors is important for clinical management.
