    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A rare lymphangiomyoma was incidentally found in a woman undergoing hysterectomy for cervical cancer. This benign tumor, likely a hamartoma, showed no complications after surgical removal.

    Acta gastro-enterologica Belgica·2011

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Pathology
    • Surgical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Lymphangiomyoma is a rare, benign tumor typically affecting women of reproductive age.
    • It is often associated with chylothorax or chylous ascites, though incidental findings are reported.
    • This case highlights an incidental discovery during treatment for a separate gynecologic malignancy.

    Observation:

    • A 50-year-old woman presented with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, necessitating a total hysterectomy.
    • During the procedure, an incidental lymphangiomyoma was identified.
    • The patient experienced no clinical complications over two years post-excision.

    Findings:

    • The incidentally discovered lesion was consistent with lymphangiomyoma, likely a form of hamartoma.

  • The term lymphangiomyomatosis is reserved for the comprehensive clinical syndrome.
  • The lesion's isolated occurrence without associated chylous effusions is noteworthy.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of lymphangiomyoma presentation, including incidental findings.
    • It suggests that surgical removal of isolated lymphangiomyomas may lead to favorable outcomes.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and management of lymphangiomyoma is warranted.
