Abstract
IntroductionExtrauterine recurrent metastasis of Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS) to major blood vessels is largely rare with few reported cases.CaseHerein, we present a case of a 51-year-old female with recurrent LG-ESS that has metastasized after 12 years to the inferior vena cava (IVC) and extended into the right atrium and common iliac veins. Computed tomography showed an intracardiac larger thrombus within the right atrium extending into the inferior vena cava and common iliac veins. The patient underwent cytoreduction of the intravenous tumor. Final histopathology confirmed metastatic LG-ESS. Follow-up CT scan after six months showed no residual or recurrence.ConclusionTreatment for extrauterine metastasis from LG-ESS prioritizes reducing tumor burden through surgical resection and may require collaboration across disciplines. Follow-up hormonal therapy with progestins or aromatase inhibitors significantly impacts patient prognosis.
