Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) formerly classified as low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma is a rare uterine malignancy with a good prognosis despite a tendency to recur. Primary surgical management for ESS includes total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Patients with ESS have long disease-free survival rates when treated with primary surgical therapy, but nearly fifty percent of these patients will recur. We present the case of a patient with recurrent ESS who had an excellent response to combined therapy with megestrol and leuprolide.

Endometrial stromal sarcomas of uterus are quite rare. Most of the recurrences in these tumors are seen in the pelvis. However, extrapelvic recurrences and metastases to other parts are quite unusual. Here, we are reporting a rare case of caecal recurrence of endometrial stromal sarcoma. Case Report. A 52-year-old female presented to us with pain and lump in the right lower abdomen. The patient was earlier subjected to total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAHBSO) for low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma. Postoperatively patient received radiotherapy but no hormone therapy. After 10 years of follow up patient presented with a polypoidal lesion in the caecum. Patient was evaluated fully and subjected to resection of this polypoidal lesion, which proved out to be high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma. Conclusion. Recurrence of endometrial stromal sarcoma in the caecum is very rare. However, this entity needs to be kept in mind for differential diagnosis of a caecal mass. Recurrence in such cases may present quite late.

Abstract Background: To evaluate the influence of treatment modalities and prognostic factors on the survival of patients with low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS). Methods: One hundred and thirty-five LGESS patients in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from January 2006 to December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Two patients received fertility-sparing surgery while 133 patients received hysterectomy. The median follow-up duration was 52 months (3–342 months). One hundred and nine (80.7%) patients received ovariectomy, 73 (54.1%) patients had lymphadenectomy, 83 (61.5%) patients received adjuvant therapy. The 5-year and 10-year disease free survival rates were 72.0% and 61.0%, respectively. The 5-year and 10-year overall survival rates were 88.0% and 79.8%, respectively. Surgery for recurrence was associated with improved overall survival although the complication rate was about 27.6%. Multivariate analysis showed that lymphovascular invasion was associated with disease free survival (hazard ratio, 0.473; 95 % confidence interval, 0.235–0.952; p=0.036) and menopausal status was related to overall survival (hazard ratio, 5.561; 95 % confidence interval, 1.400–22.084; p=0.015). Conclusions: There was no effect of lymphadenectomy, ovariectomy, or adjuvant therapy on patients’ recurrence and survival. Hysterectomy may be proposed as the standard treatment for LGESS. Surgery for replase was an acceptable method to improve overall survival. Lymphovascular invasion was a significant independent factor for disease free survival. Postmenopause was the poor prognostic factor for overall survival.

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical behavior and management outcome of low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS). From September 1994, to March 2007, 22 patients with histologically proven stage I LGESS were included in this study. Clinicopathologic variables, recurrence, and management outcomes were reviewed retrospectively. The median age of the 22 patients was 43 years. The most common presenting symptom was abnormal vaginal bleeding. All patients underwent a hysterectomy and had stage I disease. Six patients had adjuvant therapy after the hysterectomy. The median follow-up period was 77 months (range 12–202 months). Ten patients had disease recurrence. The median disease-free survival period was 111 months (range 6–182 months). The pelvis (eight cases) was the most common site of recurrence followed by the lung (four cases) and the liver (one case). Recurrent disease was treated with surgery (one case), surgery plus chemotherapy (five cases), chemotherapy (two cases), and surgery plus radiotherapy (two cases). Two patients died after 25 and 54 months after disease recurrence. Treatment with a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or adjuvant chemoradiation did not affect the disease-free interval. LGESS is usually a slow-growing neoplasm with an indolent clinical course. Surgery is the primary treatment for recurrent endometrial stromal sarcoma when feasible. Adjuvant treatment (radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or both) had no effect on the prognosis of patients with stage I disease

16079 Background: Currently there is no randomized study based or widely accepted therapeutic modality in uterine sarcomas which are rare tumors forming a heterogeneous group in respect to their pathologic classification. Methods: In our trial, 105 pts. with uterine sarcoma who were referred to our clinic between years 1995–2003 have been retrospectively researched to evaluate the results in this tumor group. 43.8% had Leiomyosarcoma (LMS), 28.6% had Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (ESS) and 27.6% had a Malign Mullarian Mixed Tumor (MMMT) while the distribution according to the histological subgroups were found to be 58.8% and 41.2% in low + middle grade tumors combined and in high grade tumors respectively. 76.2% had a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy + Bilateral Salphingooverectomy (TAH+BSO), 18.1% had a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy + Bilateral Salphingooverectomy + Lymphadenectomy (TAH+BSO+LND) and 5.7% had a suboptimal surgery as a surgical procedure. 38.1% of the pts. had Radiotherapy (RT), 18.1% had Chemotherapy (CT) and 12.4% had Chemo-radiotherapy (CT+RT) in addition to surgery. Results: The median age of the whole group is 51 (24–87). 55% of our pts. are under 50 years old and 68.5% had an “organ limited disease” ( stages I-II combined). The distant metastases rate is 30% and the local recurrence is 16.2%. All the local recurrences and 90% of the distant metastases have occurred within the first two years. The disease free survival rates at 3 and 5 years are 54.46% and 49.88% ; while the overall survival rates at 3 and 5 years are 54.63% and 51.09% all respectively. The stage is the most important factor effecting on the O.S and 5- year O.S rate is 68.43% in Stage I disease. Conclusions: The aggressive tumor progression pattern and the poor prognosis of uterine sarcomas require adjuvant therapies. The merit of current therapeutic options are still on debate since none of them has proved any specific effects. Planning further multi-center retrospective studies with high number of pts., a more clear description of the prognostic factors and thus the determination of the most appropriate therapeutic option is definitely needed.

Rare Tumours

Extrauterine endometrial stromal sarcomas (EUESSs) are rare tumours occurring without primary uterine involvement. They are classified as primary or secondary, depending on uterine involvement by stromal sarcomas. A 56-year-old woman who earlier underwent bilateral modified radical mastectomy for adenocarcinoma and total abdominal hysterectomy for endometrial stromal sarcoma, followed by tamoxifen therapy, presented with left loin pain. On evaluation, she had a left renal calculus with hydroureteronephrosis. Before percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, ureteroscopy revealed a polypoidal mass that was diagnosed as EUESS. The mass arose primarily within the ureteral lumen, with periureteric tissue uninvolved. She underwent left radical nephroureterectomy with adjuvant hormonal treatment. This is probably the first case of EUESS arising de novo from within the ureteral lumen without endometriosis, to be reported in medical literature. Immunohistochemistry facilitates earlier diagnosis. Cytoreductive surgery is the definitive treatment and multidisciplinary approach helps in overall survival of the patient.

Of 50 patients with borderline epithelial ovarian tumors, 32 (64%) had serous, 17 (34%) had mucinous and one (2%) had endometrioid tumor. All patients with mucinous tumor had stage I disease, whereas 4 patients with serous tumor had stage II–III disease. Five patients (10%) were pregnant at the time of diagnosis. Seventeen patients (34%) had initial surgery with ovarian conservation and 7 of them were not subjected to further surgery. Five patients (10%) received adjuvant chemotherapy. Five-year survival and 5-year disease-free survival rates were 100% and 96.4%, respectively. It is concluded that for patients with stage IA disease unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy seems to be adequate treatment and for those with more than stage IA disease, surgery should include total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Although the effectiveness of chemotherapy in these tumors is uncertain, adjuvant chemotherapy is advocated for patients in whom spread of the tumor beyond the ovaries has occurred.

Stromal Sarcoma

High-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (HG-ESS) is a rare clinical entity, particularly among young women, and only few cases have been reported in the literature. Herein, we describe the case of a 21-year-old woman who presented with a four-month history of excessive bleeding per vagina. Endometrial curettage and cervical biopsy revealed a malignant round cell tumor suggestive of metastatic sarcoma of uterine origin. Computed tomography of the abdominopelvic region showed an enlarged uterus with diffused thickening throughout the entire endometrial cavity. Intraabdominal lymphadenopathy and ascites in the pelvic cavity were noted. The patient underwent total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, resections of the enlarged pelvic nodes, omentectomy, and biopsy of the peritoneal nodules in the cul-de-sac. Histological examination revealed a tumor with a permeative growth pattern composed of uniformly high-grade round cells with brisk mitotic activity and extensive lymphovascular space invasion. Sections of the pelvic lymph nodes on both sides and the peritoneal nodule revealed multiple metastatic foci. Immunohistochemical studies showed positive diffuse staining for vimentin, CD 10, and cyclin D1. The pathological diagnosis was HG-ESS stage IIIC. The patient experienced rapid progression of the disease while receiving adjuvant treatment and succumbed eight months after the operation. HG-ESS is a rare cause of AUB in adolescents and young women but should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
