Alveolar soft part sarcomas (ASPSs) with multiple brain metastases in pregnancy is a rare entity.
We report our experience with a 19-year-old pregnant woman who presented with intermittent headaches and vomiting at 38 weeks gestation.
The patient was initially diagnosed as brain metastasis according to computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging.
Cesarean section and craniotomy (complete resection of both brain metastatic lesions) was performed sequentially.
A healthy baby girl was delivered safely and no neonatal malformations were found. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of ASPS. Follow-up MRI performed 10 months after surgery revealed no residual tumor or signs of recurrence.
We report a case of ASPS with multiple brain and lung metastases in a pregnant woman. We recommend timely MRI examination for diagnosis and have discussed the approach to the treatment of pregnant women with brain metastasis.
妊娠合并多发脑转移的肺泡软组织肉瘤(ASPS)是一种罕见的疾病。
我们报告了一名19岁孕妇的病例,她在妊娠38周时出现间歇性头痛和呕吐。
根据计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像(MRI)检查,患者最初被诊断为脑转移。
依次进行了剖宫产和开颅手术(完整切除两个脑转移瘤)。
安全产下一名健康女婴,未发现新生儿畸形。组织学分析确诊为ASPS。术后10个月的随访MRI显示无残留肿瘤或复发迹象。
我们报告了一例孕妇发生多发脑和肺转移的ASPS病例。我们建议及时进行MRI检查以明确诊断,并讨论了脑转移孕妇的治疗方法。
