Abstract

Myxoid type of endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a very rare tumor of uterine malignancies. Although several cases about pathologic features for the diagnosis of ESS have been reported, it remains still difficult to find a study of the clinical course, management, and outcome of ESS. Here we report a postmenopausal woman with myxoid ESS of low grade type who had aggressive clinical features. Although adequate progestin therapy was provided followed by total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, they failed to prevent early recurrence of ESS. Following cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy were also proved to be refractory to control the rapid progression of ESS.
