Description
Summary:This case report describes a 45-year-old woman presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding and a cervical mass. Imaging and biopsy revealed low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS), emphasizing the importance of comprehensive evaluation for uterine masses. The report underscores the role of MRI and pathology in diagnosis, with immunohistochemical analysis helping confirmation. A multidisciplinary approach and vigilant follow-up are crucial for optimal management. The rarity of LGESS and its challenging diagnosis highlight the need for continued research to improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Surgical intervention remains primary, but the optimal management approach is debated. This report indicates the necessity of a comprehensive approach to uterine mass evaluation and ongoing research for enhanced patient care.
