“…However, most authors advice adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin). 2,[14][15][16] In the present case, as the peritoneal cytology was positive for malignancy, the patient was planned for carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy. This was followed by hormonal therapy because of the nuclear positivity for ER and PR.…”

“…The exact role of the postsurgical treatment is not a consensus. Surgery alone, 6,10 surgery followed by chemotherapy 5,7,11,[13][14][15][16] and/or radiotherapy 5,6,9 have been used for treating primary broad ligament carcinoma. However, most authors advice adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin).…”

Primary broad ligament carcinoma is a very rare occurrence with 28 reported cases worldwide, to date. The epidemiology, treatment strategy and prognosis are still uncertain because of the scarcity of cases. Currently, all broad ligament carcinomas are managed similar to epithelial ovarian cancer. We report the case of a 43-year-old female with a prolonged complaint of abdominal pain and intermittent urinary retention, requiring frequent catheterization. She was diagnosed with obstructive right hydroureteronephrosis. The abdominal Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) revealed a well-defined heterogeneous lesion of 2.1х3х3.2cm size in the right lateral and posterior wall of the cervix. An ultrasound (USG)-guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) of the mass was done and it was suspected to be malignant. The patient underwent total abdominal hysterectomy, right salpingo-oophorectomy, pelvic lymph-nodal sampling, and peritoneal washing. Histological examination depicted an endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the broad ligament. She received adjuvant chemotherapy, followed by hormonal therapy. It has been five years since her surgery, and she is now alive and disease free.
