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.
