Abstract
A different tumor concurrence of the uterine body is usually encountered as a coincidence of leiomyoma and endometrial cancer. Pure lipomatous tumors or fatty change in the leiomyoma or endometrium are rare affections with some diagnostic peculiarities. We present a case of association of the pure uterine lipoma, leiomyoma, and endometrial cancer as a tumor triplicity, which may contribute, to the pathogenesis of mesenchymal tumors in this location.
Highlights
Endometrial cancer confirmed histologically from the curettage was treated by hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy without nodal dissection
Presence of adipose tissue in the curettage is an exceptional situation leading to the prompt ultrasonographic control of low abdominal segment
Pure endometrial fatty change demonstrates a stromal cell potential for differentiation into adipose phenotype probably induced by inflammation in the neighboring tissue
