Sternal metastasis from uterine leiomyosarcoma treated by near-total sternectomy and reconstruction with titanium sternal stabilization and fixation system

Uterus leiomyosarkomları nadir görülen yumuşak dokutümörleridir. Sıklıkla akciğer, karaciğer ve beyin gibiuzak organlara metastaz yapmasına rağmen, nadiren,uterus leiomyosarkomu kaynaklı sternum metastazımeydana gelebilir. Bu yazıda uterus leiomyosarkomu,total abdominal histerektomi ve iki taraflı salpingo-ooferektomi ile tedavi edilen ve beş yıl sonra sternummetastazı gelişen ve bu metastazı tamamen çıkarılıp aynıseansta onarımı başarıyla yapılan 50 yaşındaki kadınhasta sunuldu.

Tama yakın sternektomi ve titanyum sternum stabilizasyonu ve sabitleme sistemi ile rekonstrüksiyon yoluyla tedavi edilen uterus leiomyosarkomu kaynaklı sternum metastazı

Uterine leiomyosarcomas are rare soft tissue neoplasms.Although they have a tendency to metastasize to distantorgans, most commonly to the lung, liver and brain,rarely, sternal metastasis from a uterine leiomyosarcomacan occur. In this article, we report a 50-year-old femalepatient whose uterine leiomyosarcoma was treated withtotal abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salphingo-oopherectomy, and who developed sternal metastasis fiveyears later, which was completely resected and successfullyrepaired during the same session.
