Uterine-Leiomyosarcoma With Small-Bowel Metastases: A Diagnosis Facilitated By Double-Balloon Enteroscopy (DBE)
A 56-year-old woman with a history of hysterectomy for uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS) was referred due to a suspicious jejunal lesion identified at abdominal computed tomography.
Anterograde double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) revealed an ulcerated lesion. This was biopsied and marked with tattoos placed 3cm proximally and distally to guide minimally invasive laparoscopic resection. Histopathology confirmed the presence of a malignant spindle-cell tumour, in keeping with metastatic leiomyosarcoma.
ULMS is a rare entity among malignant gynecologic tumors and carries a poor prognosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of ULMS with metastasis to the small-bowel diagnosed by DBE.
