Purpose To study the clinicopathological features of lymphangiomyomatosis (LAM) of pelvis lymph node.Methods A patient with endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma and LAM was analyzed including clinical data and pathological features.HE and immunohistoehemistry of EnVision stainings were used,and the literatures were reviewed.Results Well-moderately differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma could be observed in the endometrium.Proloferation of LAM cells were seen in the capsule and medulla of the pelvic lymph node.The LAM cell was spindle,epitheliod and polygonal cells with oxyphilic or clear cytoplasm which arranged surrounding lacunes.The LAM cells showed no atypia and mitosis could not seen.The tumor cells showed diffusely positive for SMA,Caldesmon,desmin,vimentin,ER and PR,the cells lining the lacunes were positive for CD34 and D2-40.The epitheliod cells were positive for HMB-45 and negative for Melan-A.The Ki-67 immunostaining showed a proliferation index of < 1%.Conclusion LAM is an uncommon neoplastic multisystem disease that affects the lungs mostly.Endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma with LAM of pelvic lymph node is extremely rare.The diagnosis can be made according to the histological characteristics and immunohistochemical features.Moreover this conclusion will provide the clinicopathological materials for the future study about LAM.

[Objective] To explore the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of benign liver tissue ectopia in adrenal tumor, so as to improve the understanding of this disease. [Methods] We reported the data of a rare patient with ectopic liver tissue to adrenal gland admitted in the Department of Urology, Liaocheng Second Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University and discussed it in conjunction with literature. [Results] The patient was a 32-year-old male who sought medical attention for more than half a year due to elevated blood pressure and detection of a tumor in the right adrenal gland.Ultrasound and CT examinations showed a tumor in the right adrenal gland, suggesting myeloid lipoma.Laparoscopic right adrenalectomy was performed, and the postoperative pathology showed benign liver tissue ectopia in adrenal tumor, hepatocyte proliferation, steatosis, and slight lymphocyte infiltration.Immunohistochemistry suggested Hep-1 (+ ). During the follow-up of 12 months, the patient recovered well with no complications.Imaging examinations showed no signs of recurrence. [Conclusion] Benign liver tissue ectopia in adrenal tumor is very rare and is difficult to diagnose preoperatively.Diagnosis is mainly based on pathology, and surgical resection is usually chosen.
