“…8 After a thorough review of previous cases, Mulchandani et al have concluded that uterine AMLs have an age range of 20-83 years (mean=48 years) and are most commonly seen in the body, followed by the fundus and lower uterine segment with a mean size of 8 cm. 2 Our patient was a 48 years lady having mass of size 7.5 cm in the posterior wall of the body of uterus. The clinical presentation of uterine AMLs is nonspecific and resembles that of leiomyomas with most women presenting with menometrorrhagia, pelvic mass or pain in lower abdomen.…”

“…[5][6][7] On extensive review of literature, till date only 36 cases of uterine AML have been reported in the English literature, most of them being single case reports. 1,2 Mulchandani et al reported the only Indian case of uterine AML and did a comprehensive review of 28 cases of uterine AML reported till then. Wang et al recently reported the largest series of 8 cases of uterine AML.…”

Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm composed of a variable mixture of smooth muscle cells, adipose tissue and anomalous blood vessels. It belongs to the family of perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas). It is quite common in kidney but is rare at the extrarenal sites. In the uterus, only a few cases have been reported. We describe a case of uterine AML without evidence of tuberous sclerosis (TS). It was clinicoradiologically mistaken for fibroid. The clinical presentation of uterine AML is similar to more common uterine leiomyomas. AML can be suspected on the imaging but histopathology establishes a confirmed diagnosis. The case is presented for its rarity and likelihood of mistaking it for some other mesenchymal tumors. Overall, just 36 cases of Uterine AML have been reported in the English literature prior to this and this is only the second Indian case.
