Examination of tumor samples obtained after laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy and a derivative leiomyosarcoma

ABSTRACT: Unexpected malignant tumors are a rare finding after surgery for symptomatic leiomyomas but there is little doubt that morcellation of these lesions is associated with a higher risk of iatrogenic peritoneal spread compared to women having surgery without morcellation. Thus, the FDA has issued a warning against the use of power morcellation in the majority of women undergoing myomectomy or hysterectomy for treatment of fibroids. We present a case report of 50 year old patient with intervertebral disc degeneration and multiple uterine fibroids decided to have laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy. 28 months later the patient cystic adnexal mass removed by laparotomy and histologically, classified as leiomyosarcoma (sample H_12814-15). 19 months after this latter surgery MRI revealed a 10 x
