Endometrial Stromal sarcoma masquerading as uterine fibroid
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Endometrial stromal sarcoma is a rare malignant tumour in the uterine cavity occurring in the perimenopausal period mostly. Generally it is commonly misdiagnosed as uterine fibroid, and hysterectomy is needed for final diagnosis. We report a case of 46 year old female with low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma presenting as uterine fibroid with abnormal bleeding.Histopatholgy confirmed its diagnosis. Patient is under close follow up after surgery and received radiotherapy. As the tumour is rarely encountered, the management protocols are still questionable. Although rare, endometrial stromal sarcoma should be considered in differential diagnosis of a rapidly growing fibroid. Keywords:Endometrial stromal sarcoma, endometrial stromal nodule,leiomyoma,immunohistochemistry.
