Meena Armo, Kavita Babbar, Roopen Arya

Abstract

Case report of a 45 year, multiparous, widow lady, who underwent total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for uterine mass of 20 weeks. Microscopic examination revealed a hemangiopericytoma (HPC) of uterus, finally confirmed as uterine leiomyoma with cystic degeneration and HPC-like focal areas without atypia on immunohistochemical staining.
