Primary sarcomas of the cervix are rare neoplasms. Of all diagnosed cervical sarcomas, leiomyosarcomas correspond to 21% of cases. A 43-year-old woman presented with vaginal bleeding, and a pelvic ultrasound showed an image suggestive of a myoma during her approach. She underwent hysterectomy plus salpingo-oophorectomy, and the pathology study reported a high-grade leiomyosarcoma originating from the endocervix. Management with adjuvant radiotherapy was decided on, and 12 months later, she presented a recurrence of the disease, and chemotherapy was started. There is no established optimal treatment, and the available evidence is scarce.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
