Rationale: Intravascular/intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare benign smooth muscle cell tumor with malignant biological behavior. The early diagnosis of IVL is challenging, and the range of treatment options is extensive.
Patient Concerns: Herein, we present 2 cases of IVL that present markedly different clinical presentations.

Background: Trophoblastic differentiation or beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) secretion in endometrial carcinoma has been associated with poorly differentiated and aggressive tumors; however, the evidence is largely inconclusive. The review aimed to explore the prognostic role of trophoblastic differentiation and β-hCG in non-trophoblastic, primary uterine corpus cancers.
Methodology: A comprehensive electronic search across databases was conducted for all cases of cancers of the uterine corpus that were either associated with elevated levels of β-hCG or showed evidence of trophoblastic differentiation upon microscopy or both.

Uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) is a rare and deadly gynecologic malignancy. uLMS is histologically heterogeneous and presents with a wide spectrum of tumor differentiation, with a broad range of genomic DNA instability, which can make the diagnosis and prognosis of uLMS challenging. Methylation has emerged as a useful molecular tool in tumor classification and diagnosis in certain neoplasms.

Uterine leiomyomas (ULM) and uterine leiomyosarcomas (ULMS) represent smooth muscle tumors with similar initial presentations but drastically different outcomes. This literature review analyzes the similarities and differences in their epigenetic profiles to identify diagnostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets that could improve clinical management. Both tumor types exhibit mostly distinct epigenetic signatures while sharing key pathway dysregulations.
