Unusual Osteoblastic Secondary Lesion as Predominant Metastatic Disease Spread in Two Cases of Uterine Leiomyosarcoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Uterine smooth muscle tumors range from benign leiomyomata to low- and high-grade leiomyosarcomas. A leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant smooth muscle tumor that infrequently metastasizes to the bone. In fact, initial presentation or recurrence as osseous metastases is extremely uncommon in patients with a history of leiomyosarcoma. On imaging, these bone lesions generally appear as lytic foci. The authors report here two cases of osteoblastic bone lesions in leiomyosarcoma of the uterus with predominant metastatic lesions localized in the bone.

Metastatic Uterine Leiomyosarcoma Involving Bilateral Ovarian Stroma without Capsular Involvement Implies a Local Route of Hematogenous Dissemination
Uterine sarcomas spread via lymphatic and hematogenous dissemination, direct extension, or transtubal transport. Distant metastasis often involves the lungs. Ovarian metastasis is uncommon. Here we present an unusual case of a large, high-grade uLMS with metastatic disease internal to both ovaries without capsular involvement or other abdominal diseases, and discovered in a patient with distant...
متن کاملRectus abdominalis muscle metastasis from uterine leiomyosarcoma: An unusual case and review of the literature.
Uterine leiomyosarcoma is an aggressive malignancy. Spread to the lung, thyroid, liver, brain, pancreas, heart, duodenum, breast, vagina, submandibular gland, and bone has been reported. We describe a case of metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma to the rectus abdominalis muscle as the first case in the literature. A 39-year-old nulligravid woman presented with a history of pelvic pain. Physical ex...
متن کاملLeiomyosarcoma with Unusual Macroscopic Features: A Case Report
Uterine sarcoma is a rare tumor of mesodermal origin, accounting for 2-6% of uterine malignancies. Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) has been reported in only 1% of all uterine malignancies and is regarded as the most common primary uterine sarcoma. Herein, we present a case of LMS with unusual macroscopic features. The patient was a 61-year-old woman with LMS, which consisted of a large cystic mass (88×136...
متن کاملLeiomyosarcoma metastatic to the brain: CT features and review.
Leiomyosarcoma is an uncommon tumor that rarely metastasizes to the brain. It has been suggested that improved chemotherapy-resulting in improved survival rates-may have changed the metastatic pattern of this tumor, with an increasing frequency of cerebral metastasis. We present two histologically proven cases of leiomyosarcoma, one with a metastatic lesion in the cerebrum and the other in the ...
متن کاملChromosome aberrations in uterine smooth muscle tumors: potential diagnostic relevance of cytogenetic instability.
Cytogenetic studies were carried out on a low-grade metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma and on a large degenerating uterine leiomyoma. The leiomyosarcoma and leiomyoma were hyperdiploid and hypodiploid, respectively, and both tumors contained multiple consistent chromosome aberrations. In the patient with leiomyosarcoma, flow cytometric studies of proliferative foci from a previously resected ute...
