Abstract | A case of ovarian leiomyoma is reported, together with histologic, immunohistologic and electron microscopic findings. A solid firm tumor, measuring 6.5 X 5 X 5 cm, was found in the right ovary of a 65-year-old woman. The tumor had an obvious whorled pattern on the cut-surface. Well-differentiated, long spindle-shaped neoplastic cells revealed positive immunoreactivity for anti-desmin. Ultrastructural observations included numerous microfilaments with dense patches in the cytoplasm, micropinocytotic vesicles beneath plasma membranes and continuous basal laminae around neoplastic cells. These findings were compatible with leiomyoma. The possible histogenesis of ovarian leiomyoma was discussed. |
