Resolution: standard / high Figure 1.
Grossly, the tumor was white-gray in color and the cut surface displayed a whorled
pattern. On the pole beneath the salpinx there was a cyst measuring 3 cm in greatest diameter
filled with brownish material that was included in the tumor (A). Microscopically,
the tumor was composed of whorled interlacing fascicles of typical smooth muscle cells,
and the lumen of the cyst was covered with cuboidal epithelial cells surrounded by
endometrial-type stroma (B, 40×, H&E). Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were
positive for desmin (C, 100×) and α-smooth muscle actin (D, 100×).
