Intrapelvic dissemination of early low-grade endometrioid stromal sarcoma due to electronic morcellation

Abstract: Endometrioid stromal sarcoma is a rare malignancy that originates from mesenchymal cells. It is classified into low-grade endometrioid stromal sarcoma (LGESS) and high-grade endometrioid stromal sarcoma. Ultrasonographic findings of LGESS resemble those of submucosal myomas, leading to the possible preoperative misdiagnosis of LGESS as uterine leiomyoma. Electronic morcellation during laparoscopic surgery in women with LGESS can result in iatrogenic intraabdominal dissemination and a poorer prognosis. Here, we… Show more

“…The risk of tumor is higher when an electric morcellator is used than in other laparoscopic procedures; however, the precise relative risk is not known [ 18 ]. It has been reported that the progression of disease was sped up in about 30% of the 53 unexpectedly discovered sarcomas discovered in 17,903 women undergoing surgery for fibroids and that 1/1000 morcellations will contribute to a poor prognosis [ 19 ]. Hinchcliff et al have shown that the use of a morcellator increases the risk of abdominal/pelvic recurrence in patients ( P = 0.001) and shortens the median tumor-free survival time (10.8 vs. 39.6 months; P = 0.002) but does not affect the overall survival [ 20 ].…”

“…Moreover, laparoscopy was often used in the first operation. Choo suggested that intrapelvic dissemination was due to electronic morcellation [9]. A consensus review suggested morcellation should be avoided [10].…”
