Uterine adenosarcoma (AS) are rare tumors and have more favorable outcomes than the aggressive uterine carcinosarcomas. Uterine adenosarcoma with sarcomatous overgrowth (ASSO) is a variant form of AS and exhibits aggressive growth of tumor and the prognosis is relatively poor compared with typical AS. Usually patterns of metastasis have been known to behave like endometrial carcinoma and spread through the lymphatics. Brain metastasis from uterine AS is extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of successfully surgically removed solitary brain metastasis without any extracranial recurrence from uterine ASSO after 4 years of primary treatment.
子宫腺肉瘤(AS)是罕见肿瘤,与侵袭性子宫癌肉瘤相比,其预后更佳。伴有肉瘤过度生长的子宫腺肉瘤(ASSO)是AS的一种变异形式,表现出肿瘤的侵袭性生长,与典型AS相比,预后相对较差。通常已知其转移模式类似子宫内膜癌,通过淋巴管扩散。子宫AS发生脑转移极为罕见。在此,我们报告一例在初次治疗4年后成功手术切除孤立性脑转移灶且无任何颅外复发的子宫ASSO病例。
