Uterine PEComas are indistinguishable from other uterine tumors such as leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma before pathologic diagnosis could be made. For patients with malignant uterine PEComas, removal of both primary lesions and metastatic foci, if any, needs to be attempted. Postoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy should also be considered in patients with distant metastases or positive lymph nodes.
