The Management Dilemma of Leiomyosarcoma of the Ovary

Elizabeth Jayne Goodall et al. World J Oncol. 2011 Oct.

Abstract

Ovarian leiomyosarcomas (OLS) have a poor prognosis due to their late presentation and aggressive nature. This case illustrates that surgery alone can offer disease free survival in cases of early stage disease.

Keywords: Leiomyosarcoma; Ovarian Neoplasm; Ovarian Sarcoma.
