“…These include lymph nodes, liver, ovaries, breast, retroperitoneum and pancreas. [2][3][4] Fewer cases have reported gastrointestinal involvement of primary or metastatic ASPS. [5][6][7][8][9] All previous reported cases share similar clinical features with our patient who presented with GI bleeding (Table 1).To our knowledge, however, this is the first case report of gastric bleeding and jejunal intussusception due to ASPS metastases.…”

Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare subtype of soft tissue sarcoma that occurs predominantly in young patients. Despite its relatively indolent course, it generally has a poor prognosis with widespread metastases. The common metastatic sites from an ASPS include the lung, brain and bone. However, metastasis of an ASPS to the gastrointestinal tract is extremely rare. Here, we report a rare case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding and jejunal intussusception due to gastrointestinal metastases from an ASPS.

Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) of the vagina is an exceptionally rare neoplasm. Furthermore, vaginal metastasis of ASPS has not been reported. A 28-year-old woman with a history of a right thigh mass diagnosed as ASPS excised 8 years ago presented to the emergency room with massive vaginal bleeding and anemia. Biopsy of a vaginal mass revealed that the tumor was a vaginal metastasis of ASPS. For control of intractable bleeding and preventing further transfusions, palliative radiation therapy was planned. She received a total of 39 Gy (daily 3 Gy, using 15-MV photons), and after 6-Gy irradiation, there was no more vaginal bleeding and no more transfusion needed. This is the first case of vaginal metastasis of ASPS reported in the literature that was manifested by intractable vaginal bleeding, which was controlled successfully with radiation therapy.

“…Less common origins of metastases are carcinomas from the thyroid, breast (ductal), skin (melanoma), oesophagus, stomach, jejunum, gallbladder, bladder, endometrium or ovarium. Pancreatic metastases from lymphomas, teratocarcinomas, schwannomas, alveolar soft-tissue sarcomas and mesenchymal tumours like chondrosarcomas and leiomyosarcomas [3,4] have also been described.…”
