BONILLA-SEPULVEDA, Oscar Alejandro; DIAZ-CARDONA, Jaime e RESTREPO-PAREJA, Álvaro. Rapid sarcomatous degeneration of an uterine pleomorphic symplastic leiomyoma. Rev Colomb Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2008, vol.59, n.3, pp.243-247. ISSN 0034-7434.
Objective: reviewing the epidemiology and clinical-histopathological picture of uterine sarcomas. Presentation of the case: a 35 year-old woman was attended at the Medellín General hospital (3rd level attention public hospital serving as obstetric referente centre) for genital bleeding. She presented anaemia and a pelvic mass which was revealed to be a high-grade uterine leiomyosarcoma in histopathological study. Discussion: an atypical benign tumorous lesion was described, having variable cellularity; this degenerated into an aggressive leiomyosarcoma lesion having early-stage symptom attacks.
