Gross processing
Gross examination
Examine and describe:[1]
- Location
- Number of tumors, if multiple
- Size
- Demarcation
Selection
In case of hysterectomy, submit pieces from all smooth muscle tumors >5 cm in diameter.[1]
Submit any macroscopically abnormal parts of the tumors (hemorrhagic, necrotic, brittle or softening areas, and areas with blurry delimitation).[1]
Microscopic examination
Distinguish leiomyoma (benign) from leiomyosarcoma (malignant).
-
Leiomyomas typically show smooth muscle in a whorled (fascicular) pattern[2]
-
This variant of Van Gieson's stain distinguishes muscle (yellow) from connective tissue (red)
-
Epithelioid leiomyoma
-
Leiomyoma with palisading pattern
-
Leiomyosarcoma
-
Epithelioid leiomyosarcoma
