Abstract

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are mesenchymal tumors composed of histologically, immunohistochemically, ultrastructurally, and genetically distinctive cells. PEComas have been described in different organs and are considered ubiquitous tumors. In this review we discuss recent informations related to PEComas in the genitourinary tract.
