Sclerosing PEComas preferentially occur in the retroperitoneum and occurrence in the uterine corpus is seldom seen. These tumors pose a diagnostic challenge and need distinction from morphological mimickers such as epithelioid smooth muscle tumors, endometrial stromal sarcoma, and metastatic carcinoma. Accurate diagnosis can be established coupling histomorphology with immunostaining. The distinction from other entities is of prime importance considering the therapeutic and prognostic implications. Herein, we describe a case of uterine sclerosing variant of PEComa with diagnostic difficulties and key to diagnose this entity.<\/jats:p>\n
