Abstract

A 73-year-old woman was referred to our hospital after a liver tumor was discovered during an abdominal ultrasonography. Thirty-one years ago, she underwent a total hysterectomy for uterine myoma and was diagnosed with a leiomyoma. Twenty years ago, she underwent a bilateral oophorectomy for an ovarian tumor and was diagnosed with a luteinized theca cell tumor accompanied by sclerosing peritonitis. A CT scan and MRI revealed a 65-mm tumor in the S6-7 of the liver. There was no sign of any lesions other than in the liver, and TACE was performed for suspected hepatocellular carcinoma. However, a favorable treatment outcome was unable to be obtained and a posthepatic segmental resection was performed. Histopathological morphology suggested a similarity to endometrial stromal cells and, considering the history of myoma of the uterus and ovarian tumor, immunohistological staining was carried out. The myoma of the uterus and the ovarian and liver tumors were all CD10(+), α⊖SMA(-), MIB-1 index 3%. The uterine myoma, which was initially operated on, was rediagnosed as a low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma. After 11 years, ovarian metastasis was observed, and after 31 years liver metastasis occurred. Examples of resection of liver metastasis of endometrial stromal sarcoma are extremely rare and, we will include a review of the literature in this report.
