title: Malignant Perivascular Epithelioid Cell Neoplasm (PEComa) of the Pelvis: A Case Report.
abstract: Perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasms (PEComa) are rare mesenchymal tumors that can occur in any part of the body and have unpredictable pathological behavior. They are usually benign, but may be malignant. We present a case of malignant PEComa of the pelvic retroperitoneum treated with radical surgery.
