Zusammenfassung: | Uterine sarcoma is a rare verity of smooth muscle tumor, accounting for 2 to 6% of uterine malignancies. Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) represents ∼1% of overall uterine tumors and ∼25 to 36% of uterine sarcomas. Here we present a case of uterine LMS in a 34-year-old nulliparous woman presented with huge distension of abdomen which was confused to be an ovarian malignancy. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The diagnosis of LMS is made by histopathological examination after surgery. Surgery is the only treatment and role of adjuvant therapy has not been clearly defined. |
