Abstract

Objectives: Leiomyosarcoma (LMS), which arises from the uterine Cervix, is an extremely rare neoplasm and is presented with vaginal bleeding and discharge. In our case report, we intended to highlight the role of Polypectomy as a practical option for routine hysterectomy and the surgical cure of cervical LMS. Case Report: A 50-year-old woman (Para 8+0, 6A) presented to the Gynecological Clinic of ATB University Teaching Hospital with vaginal discharge and fleshy mass protruding from the vulva. Examination revealed a cervical polyp on the anterior lip of the Cervix. Polypectomy was performed subsequently, and histologic examination including immunohistochemical staining confirmed LMS of the uterine Cervix. The patient underwent hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with the histological confirmation of a complete excision. Conclusions: Generally, no specific management option is taken for this tumor due to its rare occurrence. However, Polypectomy with a wide excision of tumor margin could result in a complete cure, and prolonged survival as in the case presented. Accordingly, histological studies including Special stainings may play a vital role in cancer diagnosis.
