Abstract:
Cervical leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that develops from the smooth muscle cells of the lining of the cervix. It usually forms in middle-aged women and can cause symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, and an increase in the size of the uterus. We report a case of cervically delivered leiomyosarcoma initially diagnosed by anatomic pathology examination of a biopsy of the process delivered through the cervix carried out in an outpatient setting on a 70-year-old woman. This is a special case as the diagnosis is often difficult to make because it can be confused with other forms of cervical cancer or uterine fibroids. Imaging tests such as ultrasound and CT scan can be used to assess the size and the location of the tumor, while a biopsy can confirm the diagnosis. Treatment for leiomyosarcoma of the cervix may include surgery to remove the tumor and, in some cases, the uterus. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy may also be used to reduce the risk of cancer recurring or spreading.
