Uterine leiomyosarcoma associated with pregnancy

Abstract

Uterine leiomyosarcomas are rare malignant tumors that usually present with nonspecific symptoms. The diagnosis is usually incidental; especially in postmenopausal women who are surgically intervened by uterine leiomyomas. Its association with pregnancy is rare, and there are only twelve cases reported to date. We present a case of uterine leiomyosarcoma in a pregnant patient who underwent hysterectomy due to uterine atony.
