Abstract:
Leiomyosarcomas (LMS) represent a minority of uterine malignancies, comprising merely 1-2% of the total cases. Those of the broad ligament are extremely rare, and highly malignant gynecological tumor. The prognosis of this aggressive tumor is poor. Very few cases are reported in the literature. Ultrasound and MRI help to diagnosis this type of tumors in order to decide the right therapeutic strategy but confirmatory diagnosis need a microscopy examination and immunohistochemical studies. The lake of a therapeutic consensus makes the management of these tumors very complicated especially when it occurs in a young woman with a pregnancy desire. In this article, we report an uncommon case of broad ligament leiomyosarcoma on a young Moroccan woman treated by total hysterectomy with right ovary conservation. Throughout, we highlight the presurgical diagnosis criteria and our experience in a conservatory treatment with an ovary treatment patient consent.
