Leiomyosarcoma may occur anywhere in the body but rarely occurs in the heart or great vessels. Leiomyosarcoma may be managed by surgical resection with or without chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Owing to the high rate of metastasis and poor prognosis, a definitive treatment modality for leiomyosarcoma has not yet been suggested. This case study reports the surgical management of the recurrent leiomyosarcoma of the heart and the great vessels in a 63-year-old woman.
平滑肌肉瘤可发生于身体的任何部位,但很少发生于心脏或大血管。平滑肌肉瘤的治疗可采用手术切除,可联合或不联合化疗或放疗。由于转移率高且预后差,目前尚未提出针对平滑肌肉瘤的确定性治疗方式。本病例研究报告了一名63岁女性复发性心脏和大血管平滑肌肉瘤的手术治疗情况。
