Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare tumour and comprises 2-3% of all malignant uterus neoplasms [1]. Leiomyosarcoma is characterised by aggressive behaviour, high recurrence rates, and poor overall survival, despite multimodal treatment [3]. Surgery is the main treatment and consists of total abdominal hysterectomy. A randomised trial consisting of 224 patients diagnosed with uterine sarcomas stage I and II showed that adjuvant radiotherapy improves locoregional control. The role of adjuvant chemotherapy is still unclear [1]. Unfortunately, roughly 50% of patients with organ-confined disease will usually develop distant metastasis to lung, peritoneum, liver, pelvic, and para-aortic lymph nodes. Brain metastases are extremely rare [5].
平滑肌肉瘤(LMS)是一种罕见肿瘤,占所有子宫恶性肿瘤的2%-3%[1]。尽管采用了多模式治疗,但平滑肌肉瘤具有侵袭性、高复发率和较差的总生存率[3]。手术是主要治疗方法,包括全腹子宫切除术。一项由224例诊断为Ⅰ期和Ⅱ期子宫肉瘤的患者组成的随机试验表明,辅助放疗可改善局部区域控制。辅助化疗的作用仍不明确[1]。不幸的是,大约50%局限于器官的疾病患者通常会发生远处转移至肺、腹膜、肝脏、盆腔和腹主动脉旁淋巴结。脑转移极为罕见[5]。
