Abstract
-
The High grade endometrial stromal sarcoma is very rare. It has occasional local recurrence, which might be arisen from endometrial stroma, from adenomyosis, rarely from endometriosis. We experienced this infrequent malignant tumor in a 33 years old woman showing invasion to endometrium, cervix, adenomyosis and even penetration to the uterine serosa. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpinogo-oophorectomy followed by cisplatin-epirubicin chemotherapy. Metastatic pulmonary lesion was found after hysterectomy. The authors report this case with the clinicopathologic findings and brief review of literatures.
