The uterine adenosarcoma with postoperative residual in a woman treated by total abdominal hysterectomy/bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy: A case report and review of literature

Abstract

Abstract Background In patients with uterine adenosarcoma, a total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) with bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy (BSO) is typically recommended as an initial treatment. There is no consensus on adjuvant therapies. Case We report the case of a patient with uterine adenosarcoma with postoperative residual disease. We performed four courses of adjuvant chemotherapy, including Ifosfamide, Mesna, and Adriamycin, and whole pelvic radiation with a dose of 50.4 Gy/28 Fr. Conclusion A combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy may be a promising treatment option for uterine adenosarcoma with postoperative residual disease.
