Uterine Leiomyosarcoma in a Patient with Classic Presentation of Ovarian Cancer: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research & Health Sciences (IJMRHS) - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Leiomyosarcoma is a rare gynaecologic malignancy accounting for approximately 3-9 percent of all tumours derived from the uterus. Several case reports have noted elevated levels of CA-125 with leiomyosarcoma, though this is not typical. Here we report a case of a patient with leiomyosarcoma, presenting with a suspicious adnexal mass and clinical presentation suggestive of ovarian carcinoma.
