    Abstract:
    Overgrowth syndromes are characterized by a global or regional excess growth of various tissue types, especially of mesenchymal nature. The CLOVES (Congenital Lipomatous asymmetric Overgrowth of the trunk with lymphatic, capillary, venous, and combined-type Vascular malformations, Epidermal naevi, Scoliosis/Skeletal and spinal anomalies) syndrome is characterized by an asymmetric growth excess associated with PIK3CA mutations, found in mosaic, affecting the lesional, but not the normal tissues. Herein, we report the case of a patient affected by CLOVES syndrome, harboring a 13 cm leiomyoma of the uterine broad ligament. The leiomyoma tissue was examined by next-generation sequencing showing the absence of related mutations.
