CHONDROSARCOMA OF THE UTERUS A RARE CASE REPORT
Abstract
Chondrosarcoma of the uterus is an extremely
rare type of pure heterologous
uterine sarcoma.Here a case report of a
60 year old woman presented with postmenopausal
bleeding, she was evaluated
and managed by Total Abdominal
Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingoopherectomy.
As a follow up histopathological
Examination of the specimen
revealed Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumour
Heterologous differentiation
(CHONDROSARCOMA) with myometrial
invasion. Hence patient underwent External
Radiotherapy and Brachytherapy.
Thus chondrosarcoma of the uterus can
no longer be treated in a homogenous
fashion.
