PEComa is a family of tumours derived from perivascular epithelioid cells (PECs).
General
- Associated with abnormalities in TSC1 and TSC2 - the genes involved in tuberous sclerosis.[1]
The PEComa family
- Angiomyolipoma.
- Lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
- Clear-cell myomelanocytic tumour of ligamentum teres/falciform ligament.
- Abdominopelvic sarcoma of perivascular epitheloid cells.[2]
- Clear-cell sugar tumour (CCST).
- Primary extrapulmonary sugar tumour.
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Epithelioid morphology.
- Clear or granular cytoplasm.
