Summary

Uterine sarcomas are rare gynecologic malignancies, being 3–7% of all uterine malignant tumors, and approximately 1% of all female gynecologic cancers. Leiomyosarcomas (LMS) encompass approximately 1% of all the uterine cancers. Leiomyosarcoma is the most common uterine sarcoma, with an extremely aggressive clinical behavior. Consequently, this neoplasm is associated with a poor prognosis and very high risk of recurrence even among women with early-stage disease. The reported recurrence rates range between 45% and 73%. The main sites of these recurrences are the abdomen or the pelvis; a high proportion of uterine LMS will recur in the lung, with pulmonary metastases.
