RESUMEN
Los criterios valorados para el diagnóstico de malignidad en los tumores de músculo liso primarios vulvares son tamaño ≥ 5 cm, márgenes infiltrantes, 5 o más mitosis por cada 10 campos de gran aumento, y atipia citológica moderada o grave. Con 3 o más de estos criterios, el diagnóstico será de leiomiosarcoma, y con uno o menos, de leiomioma. Cuando el tumor reúne sólo 2 criterios, el diagnóstico es de leiomioma atípico o leiomiosarcoma de bajo grado, y presenta un riesgo de recidiva local más que de enfermedad metastásica. Presentamos un caso de leiomioma atípico vulvar en una paciente de 87 años de edad, de 6,5 cm de eje máximo y de 5-7 mitosis por cada 10 campos de gran aumento, a la que se realizó un tratamiento conservador y un seguimiento de la evolución
ABSTRACT
The evaluation criteria for the diagnosis of primary malignant smooth-muscle tumors of the vulva are size equal to or greater than 5 cm, infiltrating margins, more than 5 mitotic figures per 10 high-power fields, and moderate to severe cytologic atypia. Lesions with three or more of these features should be diagnosed as leiomyosarcoma while those with only one of these characteristics should be diagnosed as leiomyoma. Lesions with two of those features should be considered as atypical leiomyoma or low-grade leiomyosarcoma, with a risk of local recurrence rather than of metastatic disease. We report the case of an 87-year-old woman with an atypical leiomyoma of the vulva. Histological characterization of the tumor revealed a maximum diameter of 6.5 cm and 5-7 mitotic figures per 10 high-power fields. The patient underwent conservative treatment and follow-up
