    Uterine angioleiomyoma (ALM) is a rare benign tumor, often misdiagnosed preoperatively due to overlapping clinical features with typical leiomyomas.

  • 2

    A retrospective analysis of 20 patients revealed that only one case was suspected preoperatively as ALM, highlighting diagnostic challenges.

  • 3

    Intraoperative blood loss varied significantly, with median losses of 15 mL for hysteroscopy and 300 mL for open surgery, indicating high vascularity.

  • 4

    Pathological analysis identified 14 common, 3 degenerative, and 3 cellular types of ALM, with one recurrence noted during a median follow-up of 33.5 months.

    A standardized diagnostic workflow is recommended, including transvaginal ultrasound and MRI, with individualized surgical approaches based on tumor characteristics.
