Smooth muscle neoplasms of the vulva masquerading as Bartholin gland duct cysts. [PDF]
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent), 2014 Smooth muscle neoplasms of the vulva can be mistaken for Bartholin duct cysts, which can lead to a delay in diagnosis. We present a case of vulvar leiomyoma and a case of leiomyosarcoma that clinically mimicked Bartholin duct cysts. Identification of leiomyosarcomas in this region is particularly important; due to the risk of recurrence, patients may ...

Molecular determination of the malignant potential of smooth muscle neoplasms [PDF]
Cancer, 1997 The determination of the malignant potential of smooth muscle neoplasms remains ambiguous, and yet has far reaching clinical, therapeutic, and social implications.In this pilot study, the authors examined smooth muscle isoactin gene expression by polymerase chain reaction in a variety of smooth muscle tumors.A lack of gamma-smooth muscle isoactin gene ...

Twenty-six tumours arose from the muscularis mucosae of the rectum. These lesions were small, asymptomatic and did not recur after local removal.

Dermoscopy of cutaneous smooth muscle neoplasms: a morphological study of 136 cases
Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2019 A variety of cutaneous smooth muscle neoplasms may arise in the skin and are frequently unrecognized by clinicians. There is sparse data relating to the dermoscopy of piloleiomyomas (PL), and nothing has been published about the dermoscopy of ...
