A Mitotically Active Uterine Myxoid Leiomyosarcoma Infiltrating The Parametrium And the Ovary
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Myxoid leiomyosarcoma is a rare soft tissue neoplasm of the uterus. Myxoid differentiation coupled with enlarged atypical cells with or without necrosis is termed myxoid leiomyosarcoma. These are mitotically inactive, completely myxoid paucicellular tumors with infiltrative margins. They have a bad prognosis as they are resistant to chemotherapy as well as radiation. Here we present a rare case of uterine myxoid leiomyosarcoma with high mitotic activity infiltrating the parametrium and ovary.
