“…Leem et al had presented a case of a basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix coexisting with undifferentiated sarcoma causing uterine prolapse, which was removed vaginally. 21 In our case, although most surgeons would have performed a laparotomy, we proceeded with laparoscopic surgery as there was no confirmation of a cervical malignancy and the initial biopsy had indicated an ESS, in consideration of the Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer (LACC) trial. 22 Our patient had already faced the grave consequences of the atypical and late presentation of a rare tumour, which, combined with the COVID-19 pandemic situation and her COVID-19 infection, caused a significant delay in her cancer pathway management.…”

Late presentation during the COVID-19 pandemic of severe procidentia: a high-grade poorly differentiated sarcoma of unknown origin

2022

High-grade poorly differentiated sarcomas of unknown primary origin constitute a rare entity and are characterised by wide histopathological diversity and atypical presentations. We present such an unusual case attending with severe procidentia in a 68-year-old postmenopausal female. On review of the literature, there are no similar cases reported. Herein, we present this case as in view of its rare clinical appearance combined with the advanced and histologically uncertain nature of the tumour, which raised significant challenges regarding diagnosis and surgical management in considerations of oncological hygiene and risk of tumour spillage. This was further potentiated by delay in diagnosis and treatment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
