Atypical Right Hepatectomy for Liver Metastasis from Ovarian Leiomyosarcoma - A Case Report and Literature Review.
Anticancer Research 2016 April
Ovarian leiomyosarcomas are extremely rare ovarian malignancies, usually associated with poor prognosis in terms of survival. Most often, ovarian leiomyosarcomas are diagnosed in postmenopausal women at an advanced stage of disease, the main symptoms consisting of abdominal pain. We present the case of a 52-year-old patient who was initially submitted to surgery for a large ruptured ovarian tumor in April 2009; at that time, total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy, omentectomy, pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection were performed. The histopathological studies revealed the presence of an ovarian leiomyosarcoma. Five years later, the patient was diagnosed with a unique, ruptured liver metastasis and an atypical right hepatectomy was performed. The histopathological studies confirmed the metastatic origin of the lesion. At 2-year-follow-up the patient is still free from recurrent disease.
