Dr Mahender Singh, Dr Mehnaz Bi, Dr Neelima Verma

Abstract :

Uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMSs) are rare aggressive tumors, with high recurrence rates, even when confined to the uterine corpus at the time of diagnosis. These tumors are large myometrial masses, which typically spread hematogenously. Patients present with vague symptoms similar to those of patients with leiomyomas. Most patients are diagnosed with LMS postoperatively. We report a case of a 65 year old female who presented with a post menopausal bleeding from 1 year. Tumor marker CA–125 was raised, and CT scan showed mass arising from the pelvis hysterectomy was performed and was diagnosed later to be a case of leiomyosarcoma of uterus by histopathological examination . Because of the rarity , uterine sarcomas are not suitable for screening. Diagnosis is by histopathological examination and surgery is the only treatment. The prognosis for women with uterine sarcomas primarily depends on the extent of disease at the time of diagnosis and the mitotic index
