Abstract

Angioleiomyoma (vascular leiomyoma) of the uterine cervix is an extremely rare type of benign tumor composed of smooth muscle cells and thick-walled blood vessels. Only a few cases of cervical angioleiomyoma have been reported. Here, we present imaging, including ultrasonography, contrast-enhanced CT, MRI, and histopathological findings of a 38-year-old female with an angioleiomyoma of the uterine cervix.

자궁 경부 혈관근종은 평활근 세포와 두꺼운 벽의 혈관으로 구성되어 있는 극히 드문 양성 종양이다. 현재 자궁 경부 혈관근종에 대한 증례 보고는 거의 없는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 38세 여성의 증례를 통하여 자궁 경부 혈관근종의 초음파, 조영증강 전산화단층촬영, 자기공명영상을 포함한 영상학적, 그리고 병리학적 소견에 대하여 보고하고자 한다.
