Primary ovarian leiomyosarcoma is extremely rare and generally affects post menopausal women. It is usually unilateral and more than 10 cm in diameter. Its histogenesis is not clear its prognosis seems to be improved by radical surgery and adjuvant therapy. We report a case of a 54 year-old, nulliparous, post menopausal woman who had abdominal distention. Physical examination revealed a large pelvi-abdominal mass. The excision of tumor with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and hysterectomy was carried out. A diagnosis of bilateral ovarian epithelioid leiomyosarcoma was made on pathological examination with immunohistochemistry. Adjuvant chemotherapy was given. After 3 months of follow up, abdominal sonography revealed a peritoneal recurrent tumor with hepatic metastasis. Our objectives are to discuss the histopathological features and the prognosis of this tumor. |
