Primary vaginal leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare entity with limited data on optimal treatment approach. Most previously reported cases utilize an open or transvaginal surgical approach for primary tumor resection. Minimally invasive surgery is an important tool in complex pelvic surgery and the limits of its utility continue to expand. Here, we report a rare case of an 11.7 cm primary vaginal LMS in a 45-year-old female that was successfully resected with a robotic approach. Our case demonstrates an innovative use of the robot and the feasibility and efficacy of this approach for primary resection of large vaginal tumors.
原发性阴道平滑肌肉瘤(LMS)是一种罕见的疾病,关于最佳治疗方法的数据有限。大多数先前报道的病例采用开放或经阴道手术方法进行原发性肿瘤切除。微创手术是复杂盆腔手术中的一项重要工具,其应用范围仍在不断扩大。在此,我们报告一例罕见病例,一名45岁女性患有11.7厘米的原发性阴道LMS,通过机器人手术方法成功切除。我们的病例展示了机器人的创新应用以及这种方法对大型阴道肿瘤进行原发性切除的可行性和有效性。
