Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors are uncommon mesenchymal tumors. The genital tract is the most common extrarenal location. Preoperative diagnosis is rarely achieved owing to non-specific symptoms and imaging features. Consensus on treatment strategies remains elusive. Case presentation We report the case a 38 year-old north African woman with a primary sterility, who was diagnosed with a uterine Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor of uncertain malignant potential on a resection specimen of an intracavity polypoid mass. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis and we opted for conservative surgery to preserve the patient's fertility desires. CONCLUSION: Uterine perivascular epithelioid cell tumor is a rare entity that warrants consideration in the differential diagnosis of uterine tumors. Treatment modalities, follow-up protocols, and prognosis remain ambiguous. Given their unpredictable behavior, accurate diagnosis and long-term monitoring are imperative.
