Abstract
Ovarian sarcomas represent less than 3% of all ovarian tumors.Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare subtype, accounting for only 0.1% of all ovarian sarcomas.We present a case of primary ovarian LMS in a 68-year-old multigravid woman.She was treated by total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.The prognosis of ovarian LMS is very poor.Although different treatment modalities like adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy have been described, no clear benefit has been proven.
