Abstract : LMS (Leiomyosarcoma) is a rare cancer that grows in smooth muscles of the body, these smooth muscle are located in various parts of body and in females these are also present in uterus. Uterine LMS comprises about 3 – 7% of all uterine malignancies which may be characterized by abnormal bleeding from uterus, abnormal vaginal discharge and abnormal uterine growth. This is likely to occur in women with perimenopausal age. We came across this case of Uterine LMS in 32 yr old female patient presented with polymenorrhea since 6 months associated with dysmenorrhea, curdy white discharge. Patient underwent USG of Abdomen with pelvis, the impression of scan was Bulky uterus with firm masses on either side of adnexa. Patient underwent endometrial biopsy and report revealed that it’s a non- metastasized leiomyosarcoma stage-1. Based on subjective findings and biopsy report the patient was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma with Anaemia. Patient underwent a surgical procedure known as tumor resection and Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) and treated with Antibiotics and painkillers and the patient was recovered after 3 weeks. And advise to take 2 cycles of chemotherapy.
