description We report a rare case of epithelioid leiomyoma of the uterus presenting as a multilocular cystic mass containing clear fluid. The histologic basis of cysts was the diffuse intratumoral cystic degeneration. Histologically, the presence of numerous cystic cavities of variable size raised the possibility that vascular abnormalities, such as hemangioma, lymphangioma, and diffuse cavernous angiomatosis, could be associated with epithelioid leiomyoma. An immunohistochemical study using endothelial cell and basement membrane markers, was helpful in excluding the vascular nature of the cystic cavities and revealed an unexpected focal lymphangioma-like pattern as a peculiar component of tumor.
