This case study details a rare uterine bizarre lipoleiomyoma in a 58-year-old woman. Long-term follow-up is crucial due to limited clinical data on this benign tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic pathology
  • Surgical oncology
  • Reproductive medicine

Background:

  • Uterine lipoleiomyomas are rare benign tumors.
  • Bizarre lipoleiomyomas present unique histological features.
  • Understanding their behavior is essential for patient management.

Observation:

  • A subserosal uterine mass (8.5 cm) with a lipoma-like appearance was identified.
  • Histology revealed mature adipocytes, signet ring cells, and multivacuolated lipoblasts.
  • Fibrous areas showed smooth muscle proliferation, some with atypical nuclei but no mitotic figures.

Findings:

  • The tumor predominantly consisted of adipocytes with variable morphology.
  • Flow cytometry indicated aneuploidy.
  • The patient remained disease-free 10 months post-hysterectomy.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the histological spectrum of uterine bizarre lipoleiomyoma.
  • Close, long-term patient follow-up is recommended due to limited clinical information.
  • Further research is needed to establish definitive management protocols.
