Abstract
This article presents a case of a patient with a broad ligament perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa), focusing on the analysis of its imaging features in CT and MRI to enhance understanding and awareness of this rare tumor.
This article reports a case of a 27-year-old married woman who was found to have a pelvic mass two years ago. After detailed examination at our hospital, imaging studies, including enhanced CT and MRI, revealed a cystic-solid lesion in the left adnexal area, with preoperative considerations of ovarian cystadenoma or uterine leiomyoma. She was referred to a specialized obstetrics and gynecology hospital for surgery, and the postoperative pathology was diagnosed as PEComa. She has been undergoing regular follow-up at our hospital post-surgery. One year after the operation, her laboratory tests showed no significant abnormalities, and imaging studies did not reveal any signs of metastasis.
Uterine broad ligament PEComa is a rare tumor, and accurate imaging features and classification criteria can aid in improving preoperative diagnosis. A deeper understanding of the clinical and imaging characteristics of this rare disease is significant for enhancing diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes.
