Retroperitoneal Leiomyomas: A Rare Tumor of the Pelvis
後腹腔平滑肌瘤－病例報告
摘要
後腹腔平滑肌瘤是十分罕見的，且其預後極佳，其在病理學上類似子宮肌瘤。在長期追蹤的研究中顯示，即使此疾病未發生轉移情形但仍有局部復發之可能性。本文報告一位46歲已作全子宮切除術之患者，因腹脹等狀接受超音波檢查發現後腹腔腫瘤，並成功以腹腔鏡手術切除。經由病理報告證實為平滑肌瘤，特別的是此腫瘤並不含雌激素與黃體素接受器。

Retroperitoneal leiomyomas are extremely rare and have a good prognosis. Long-term follow-up reveals no metastasis but local recurrences do occur. These tumors, like uterine leiomyomas, are frequently accompanied by hyaline or myxoid changes as well as a trabecular pattern. Most are positive for estrogen and progesterone receptors. Herein, we report a 46-year-old woman with retroperitoneal leiomyomas who had undergone laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy 5 years previously due to uterine leiomyomas. Treatment by laparoscopic excision was successful and immunohistochemical staining of the tumor tissue was negative for estrogen and progesterone receptors.
