Uterine Leiomyosarcoma with Cutaneous and Fibular Bone Metastasis: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Uterine sarcomas accounts for about 3% of all uterine cancer. Cutaneous and bony metastasis is extremely rare in uterine leiomyosarcomas. Bony metastasis to fibula from endometrial carcinomas is very rare and very few case reports have been documented with axial skeletal and cutaneous metastasis from uterine leiomyosarcoma. We hereby reports a rare case of metastasis to the fibula and soft tissue, which occurred in less than six months after uterine leiomyosarcoma diagnosis and its treatment, demonstrating the ability of this tumour to metastasize to both bone and soft tissue.
