Abstract

Uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) is a rare and aggressive form of sarcoma. uLMS accounts for 3-7% of all uterine malignancies with a propensity to metastasize in the abdomen, retroperitoneum, or perineum. Recurrence of uLMS is not uncommon and occurs within 6-18 months from initial diagnosis and surgical resection of the primary tumor. Current treatment for uLMS is early surgical resection of the primary tumor with addition of various chemotherapeutic treatments in cases of metastasis. We report a case of a patient previously diagnosed with high-grade uLMS with no evidence of metastasis for two years. Subsequently, abdominal imaging indicated extensive metastasis of uLMS to various organs. There is very limited literature on the recurrence of uLMS with massive metastasis. We hope that this report drives continued investigation and further development of efficacious diagnosis and safe treatments for improving patient outcomes.
