SUBJECT: Case report with review of the literature. SETTING: Department of Pathology and Obstetrics and Gynecology at Jessenius Medical Faculty in Martin.

The presented case is describing a 53-year-old women hysterectomized for multiple uterine myoma of which two showed the histological signs of ALLM. On imunohistochemical profile are these tumors negative for melanocytic features, e.g. HMB-45, what distinguishes them from angiomyolipomas, which are currently categorized into so called PEComas - tumors originating from perivascular epithelial cells.
