Angioleiomyoma of the Nasal Cavity with Progesterone Receptor Expression

鼻部血管性平滑肌瘤併有黃體素受體表現

摘要


Leiomyomas are benign tumors arising from smooth muscle cells. They are commonly found in the uterus, skin, and gastrointestinal tract; however, they are extremely rare in the nasal cavity, with very few reports in the literature. We present a case of a 54-yearold man who presented with a right-side, progressed, nasal obstruction and repeated epistaxis. Clinical evaluation revealed a lesion that had replaced the anterior twothirds of the right inferior turbinate. Transnasal endoscopic excision and histopathology confirmed a diagnosis of angioleiomyoma. No local recurrence was noted during 26 months of regular follow-up. The roles of estrogen and progesterone have been particularly emphasized in some cases of angioleiomyoma; therefore, our findings are discussed in the context of the available literature on the expression of progesterone receptors (PRs) and estrogen receptors (ERs).

平滑肌瘤(leiomyoma)為一種源由於平滑肌纖維細胞之良性軟組織腫瘤,好發於子宮、皮膚和消化道。起源於鼻腔的平滑肌則是相當罕見,這可能和此部位的平滑肌含量稀少有關。本病例報告一54歲男性,主訴為右側鼻塞及間歇性流鼻血,理學檢查發現右側鼻腫瘤,經手術切除病灶,病理診斷為血管平滑肌瘤,術後情況良好亦無併發症,門診追蹤至今沒有復發跡象。本文將就血管平滑肌瘤之臨床表現、病理組織表徵及治療方式作一討論。近來性激素的表現與平滑肌瘤間的關係屢被提出,在此亦做一相關文獻回顧,以供參考。
