Stage IV Primary Vaginal Leiomyosarcoma with Lung and Breast Metastases.

چکیده
BACKGROUND: Reproductive tract sarcomas metastasizing to the breast are uncommon. To our knowledge, metastasis of vaginal leiomyosarcoma to the breast has not been previously reported in the literature. CASE REPORT: We present the first report of a FIGO stage IV primary vaginal leiomyosarcoma with metastases to the lung and left breast. Treatment included neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery and postoperative chemotherapy. Lung metastasis disappeared but recurred 14 months later in conjunction with left breast metastasis which was resected. CONCLUSION: Primary vaginal sarcoma with lung and breast metastases is very rare in female genital malignancies. We present this case to alert gynecologists to the need for early diagnosis and aggressive management.

Long-Lasting Response to Trabectedin in a Patient with Metastatic Uterine Leiomyosarcoma: A Case Report
Background Uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) is a rare tumor that accounts for 1% of all uterine malignancies. In spite of adequate surgical resection of uLMS, even in the early stage, patients remain at high risk for local and distant recurrence. Therefore, the treatment of advanced uLMS represents a considerable challenge. Methods We report the case of a 47-year-old woman who presented with uLM...
متن کاملBreast Cancer CXCR4 Regulates Growth of Both Primary and Metastatic
The chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its cognate ligand CXCL12 recently have been proposed to regulate the directional trafficking and invasion of breast cancer cells to sites of metastases. However, effects of CXCR4 on the growth of primary breast cancer tumors and established metastases and survival have not been determined. We used stable RNAi to reduce expression of CXCR4 in murine 4T1 cells, a...
متن کاملCase Report: Primary Leiomyosarcoma of the breast with unusual metastasis to the femur
With less than 40 cases reported, primary leiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare form of breast cancer (less than 0.0006% of cases) with unpredictable biological behavior that usually presents as a slow growing, mobile mass in middle age women. Most cases are low-grade and are cured by complete excision with wide margins. After surgical resection, late local recurrence and distant hematogenous met...

متن کاملInfluence of the Different Primary Cancers and Different Types of Bone Metastasis on the Lesion-based Artificial Neural Network Value Calculated by a Computer-aided Diagnostic System,BONENAVI, on Bone Scintigraphy Images
Objective(s): BONENAVI, a computer-aided diagnostic system, is used in bone scintigraphy. This system provides the artificial neural network (ANN) and bone scan index (BSI) values. ANN is associated with the possibility of bone metastasis, while BSI is related to the amount of bone metastasis. The degree of uptake on bone scintigraphy can be affected by the type of bone metastasis. Therefore, t...
