  • Title: Tumor of the broad ligament in von Hippel-Lindau disease of probable mullerian origin.
    Author: Werness BA, Guccion JG.
    Journal: Int J Gynecol Pathol; 1997 Jul; 16(3):282-5. PubMed ID: 9421096.
    Abstract:
    A rare neoplasm seen in women with von Hippel-Lindau disease is the papillary cystadenoma of the broad ligament, only three cases of which have been reported. All three exhibited characteristic histologic features identical to those of epididymal tumors that occur in affected patients, and were presumed to be of wolffian origin. This is the case of a broad ligament tumor in a woman with von Hippel-Lindau disease that had features more consistent with a mullerian rather than wolffian origin. This is the first report of a broad ligament tumor of probable mullerian origin in von Hippel-Lindau disease.
