Case Discussion

This is a case of a 50-year old lady that presented with abnormal uterine bleeding to the gynecology outpatients department. Unfortunately, there was a delay to theater given patient non-compliance. A repeat CT was performed 4 months after the first CT and showed impressive progressive disease.

The patient eventually underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with omental biopsies. Intra-op findings:

  • disease eroding through serosa with disease on the omentum
  • normal ovaries and peritoneal surfaces

Histopathology results: Uterine leiomyosarcoma, high grade, no lymphovascular invasion, metastatic disease to omentum, surgical margins adequate.
