Abstract EN
Background.
Uterine leiomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive gynecologic malignancy with an overall poor prognosis.
Lungs, bones, and brain are common sites of metastases of uterine leiomyosarcoma.
Metastases of uterine leiomyosarcoma to the small bowel are extremely rare, and only four case reports have been published to date.
Case presentation.
A 55-year-old Saudi woman diagnosed with a case of uterine leiomyosarcoma treated with total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) and bilateral salpingooophorectomy (BSO) presented in emergency room after sixteen months with acute abdomen.
Subsequent work-up showed a jejunal mass for which resection and end-to-end anastomosis were performed.
Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of small bowel metastasis from uterine leiomyosarcoma.
Further staging work-up showed wide spread metastasis in lungs and brain.
After palliative cranial irradiation, systemic chemotherapy based on single agent doxorubicin was started.
Conclusion.
Metastatic leiomyosarcoma of small bowel from uterine leiomyosarcoma is a rare entity and is sign of advanced disease.
It should be differentiated from primary leiomyosarcoma of small bowel as both are treated with different systemic chemotherapeutic agents.
