Abstract
Atypical or symplastic leiomyoma is a rare histological variant of leiomyoma.
This is a case report of 63-year-old patient who underwent hysterectomy with
bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Histopathology of the polypoid growth seen in
the endometrial cavity revealed atypical leiomyoma infi ltrated by endometrioid
cancer. Atypical leiomyoma can be misdiagnosed as leiomyosarcoma. Thus,
carcinosarcoma was ruled out as it has an ominous prognosis. A diagnosis of
atypical leiomyoma infi ltrated by endometrioid cancer was given. We report this
case as there are very few case reports of the above two pathology occurring
simultaneously in the same patient.
