Abstract

Uterine sarcomas considered as one of the aggressive tumors of uterine malignancies. It is one of the mesenchymal tumors that originate from smooth muscle of the uterus which is a rare tumor that accounts for 2% to 5% of all uterine malignancies. Very few cases are reported in the literature. Our patient has a unique history of Pelvic-Abdominal swelling reaching xiphisternum level after subtotal hysterectomy one year ago. Abnormal genital bleeding not responding to medical treatment is the usual presentation in uterine sarcoma like in our patient. We report an original case report of an abnormal sequence of this rare tumor arising from the uterine stump after subtotal hysterectomy.
