Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) of inferior vena cava is a rare and aggressive tumor, arising from the smooth muscle cells in the vessel wall. A large complete surgical resection is the essential treatment. The need of vascular reconstruction is not always mandatory. It s above all to understand the place of the reconstruction with artificial vascular patch prosthetics of vena cave after a large resection of the tumor. We rapport two cases of LMS of inferior vena cava in two women who underwent successful large resection of tumor and lower segment of inferior vena cava. In first case, reconstruction of the inferior vena cava was not performed because of the development of venous collaterals derivation. In the second case reconstruction was done using Dacron interposition graft. The necessity of a large resection in management of primary leiomyosarcoma of vena cave makes sometimes unavoidable the sacrifice of a portion of the vena. Indeed, a better comprehension of the development of venous derivation may render

Results The combination of ER+/PR+/CD10+/GEM−/h-caldesmon−/transgelin− can predict ESS versus ULMS with AUC predictive value of 0.872 (95% CI 0.784 to 0.961, p,0.0001). The combination of ER+/PR+/CD10+/h-caldesmon−/transgelin− can predict low grade (LG) ESS from LG ULMS with AUC predictive value of 0.914 (95% CI 0.832 to 0.995, p,0.0001). Finally, ULMS and ESS, including the LGs, were more likely to be stathmin1+ than LM.. ...

Smooth muscle tumors of the uterus are a diagnostically challenging group of tumors. Molecular surrogate markers reliably distinguishing between benign and malignant tumors are not available. Therefore, the diagnosis is based on morphologic criteria. The aim was to investigate a well-characterized group of challenging uterine smooth muscle tumors consisting of 20 leiomyomas, 13 leiomyomas with bizarre nuclei, and 14 leiomyosarcomas for copy number alterations, MED12 mutations and FH deletions to search for potential diagnostically useful surrogate markers. MED12 mutations were detected in 47, 15, and 25% of leiomyomas, leiomyomas with bizarre nuclei and leiomyosarcomas, respectively. MED12 mutations in leiomyomas with bizarre nuclei were detected outside the hotspot region. FH-deletions were seen in 27, 30.8, and 25% of leiomyomas, leiomyomas with bizarre nuclei and leiomyosarcomas, respectively. By using copy number alteration profiling a clear separation of leiomyomas, leiomyomas with bizarre ...

Ninety-six assessable patients with advanced or recurrent uterine sarcomas, who were no longer controllable with surgery and radiotherapy, and who had not received prior chemotherapy were treated with cisplatin 50 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks. Of 63 cases with mixed mesodermal tumors, five complete responses (CRs; 8%) and seven partial responses (PRs; 11%) were observed (95% confidence interval [CI], 10.3% to 30.9%). Of 33 patients with leiomyosarcoma, one PR (3%) was observed (95% CI, .1% to 15.8%). Adverse effects included leukopenia (23%), nausea and vomiting (73%), and mild azotemia (42%). No patients experienced life-threatening toxicity. Cisplatin has definite activity when given at the dose and schedule that we tested for patients with mixed mesodermal sarcomas who have not received prior chemotherapy, but has little activity in patients with leiomyosarcoma ...

10 mitosis per high power field. In contrast a uterine leiomyoma as a benign lesion would have < 5 mitosis per high power field. Therapy is based on staging and patient condition and utilizes one or more of the following approaches. Surgery is the mainstay of therapy if feasible involving total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Other approaches include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy. Prognosis is relatively poor. Uterine sarcoma are rare, out of all malignancies of the uterine body only about 4% will be uterine sarcomas.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a rare malignancy of mesenchymal origin. The true incidence of GIST has historically been underestimated as these tumors were commonly misclassified as leiomyomas, leiomyosarcomas, and leiomyoblastomas.1 The term gastric stromal tumor was first proposed in 1983 to describe gastric wall tumors that lacked the ultrastructural features of smooth muscle cells and the immunohistochemical characteristics of Schwann cells.2 Mazur and Clark2 examined 28 gastric wall tumors that were originally classified by light microscopy as leiomyomas or leiomyosarcomas and, using electron microscopy, determined that some of these tumors lacked features expected in cells derived from smooth muscle. Additionally, using immunohistochemistry to identify the neuroectoderm marker S-100, they found that the majority of tumors failed to show evidence of a nerve sheath origin. They postulated that this subset of tumors that did not appear from a smooth muscle origin or peripheral ...

Due to propensity for arising in the retroperitoneum, close to or in association with the inferior vena cava, leiomyosarcomas may cause obstruction of the IVC with Budd-Chiari (upper IVC), renal failure (middle IVC) or lower limb oedema (lower IVC). More commonly it present with a mass lesion. Local recurrence and distant metastases are common with retroperitoneal sites; superficial sites are often curable due to smaller size at presentation; and those arising in deep tissues are of intermediate behaviour.. ...

Cytologic features: Smears are relatively cellular containing fragments of spindle-shaped cells. Cells have relatively bland nuclei and wispy cytoplasm with long extensions. No mitoses or necrosis identified. On cell block, immunostains were performed to show the neoplastic cells are positive for c-Kit, DOG1 and SMA; and negative for S100 and desmin.. Differential diagnosis: Schwannoma appears as large cohesive fragments on smears. The neoplastic cells are bland with wavy (fishhook) nuclei and pointed ends and filamentous cytoplasm. Nuclear palisading may be recognized. Although leiomyoma of the gastrointestinal tract usually involves the esophagus, the distinction between a smooth muscle tumor and a GIST relays on immunohistochemistry of c-Kit, DOG1, Desmin and SMA. Leiomyosarcoma would have more significant nuclear pleomorphism, atypia and mitosis as well as less prominent vascular pattern than GIST.. ...

This randomized phase 3 study compared the efficacy and safety of evofosfamide (EVO) plus doxorubicin (D) with D alone in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic STS previously untreated with chemotherapy for advanced disease. Patients on EVO+D could receive EVO alone after 6 cycles. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Secondary end points were progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), and safety.. From September 2011 to January 2014, 640 patients were randomized: 317 EVO+D, 323 D; 621 patients were treated. Baseline characteristics were balanced. The median age was 59 years (range, 18-89 years); 57% ECOG 0; 36% leiomyosarcoma, 17% liposarcoma, and 12% undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma.. The primary end point, OS, was not met. Median OS was 18.4 months for EVO+D and 19.0 months for D alone. ORR was 28% and 18%, respectively. Median PFS was 6.3 months and 6.0 months, respectively.

Hello Michael,. I just read your post. I also am currently being treated for a rare and aggressive sarcoma called Leiomyosarcoma of the upper left thigh. I had my first round of chemo Doxorubicin, Ifosfamide, and Mesna in August of 2012 then again 21 days later. On October 2, 2012 I had a very large (15x8x6 cm) tumor removed from my thigh along with one and a half of my quadrant muscles, and damages soft tissue. Fortunately pathology returned negative margins. Then I started 32 days of radiation in November - finishing just in time for Christmas on December 22, 2012. I had extreme reactions to radiation because the radiated area was so large. I feel truly fortunate to have had 6 weeks off - no treatment. I am going back in the hospital this coming Tuesday, February 12, 2013 for the 3rd of what we hope will be 4 cycles of chemotherapy.. I stronly recommend that you get another opinion, and even a 3rd and 4th. Im not sure where youre located, but my Orthopedic Oncologist is Dr. Philip Krueger ...

Discussion. Leiomyoma of deep soft tissue is exceptionally rare compared to its malignant counterpart. Leiomyoma is a benign, usually solitary tumour of smooth muscle origin commonly involving the organs of the body composed of smooth muscle such as the uterus, urogenital tract and gastrointestinal tract.1,2 When found in soft tissue, it usually involves the dermis and subcutaneous layer. It very rarely affects the deep soft tissue.1,2,13 The deep leiomyomas have been found most frequently within skeletal muscle originating from vessels with unstriated muscle. They are more common in adults and rarely described in children.13 The tumour usually shows calcification in 58% of cases.13 The largest tumour described in children measured 7.5 cm.6. The radiological appearance can resemble various familiar conditions seen in orthopaedics and the diagnosis can be challenging.. Leiomyoma involving skeletal muscles of the extremities in children has been reported in nine children only, viz: thigh muscles = ...

Hello and thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I will be paddling again this year in the Catalina Classic, as a part of the Ocean of Hope team. The Classic is a 32 mile paddleboard race across the Catalina Channel. As most of you know, last years race did not go too well. With strong winds, large swells and my lack of experience in the sport, I struggled for nine and a half hours to finish the race, but with a little luck, I made it. Im back again this year to challenge the Catalina Classic one more time; not to try to better my time, but to once again join the fight against cancer, raising much needed support for the Sarcoma Alliance. The fight against cancer continues to be a difficult one. Now 5 years after Suzanne lost her fight to synovial sarcoma and with the sudden and shocking loss of aunt Mercedes to leiomyosarcoma, the importance of the services provided by the Sarcoma Alliance and groups like it, could not be more clear. The passing of Mercedes Capati, my wife Rias dearly ...

Diagnosis of the mass was made by fine needle aspiration punction ecographically guided obtaining a cellular block which, upon anatomopathological study, revealed the presence of a malignant mesenchymal tumor; a leiomyosarcoma. Not only is this type of primary hepatic tumor rare but its appearance on a liver of alcoholic cirrhosis is also of interest. It is much more common to find primary hepatic tumors of epithelial origin, concretely hepatocarcinomas.

Primary renal sarcoma is a rare tumor that accounts for approximately 1% - 3% of malignant renal neoplasms, and leiomyosarcoma is the most common subtype, which accounts for 50% - 60% of all renal sarcomas (3). Primary RSS, a mesenchymal tumor occurring mainly in adults, is an extremely rare neoplasm (3, 4). It was described firstly by Argani et al. in 1999 and since then, approximately 120 cases of RSS have been reported in the literature (2, 5, 6). RSS can be initially misdiagnosed as renal cell carcinoma because of similar clinical characteristics (7). In previous reports, age of RSS patients ranged from 17 to 78 years (median: 36.5 years), and no gender predominance was observed (8, 9). Patients with RSS might be asymptomatic or suffer from abdominal pain, hematuria, fever, and dysuria (10). All sorts of presenting clinical characteristics may arise based on location and size of the lesion.. CT and MRI imaging provided useful information for determining the extent and invasiveness of the ...

ABSTRACT: Morcellation is a surgical technique used to reduce the size of the uterus or myomas by creating smaller pieces to allow the tissue to be removed through small incisions or with laparoscopic instruments. Open (uncontained) morcellation of the uterus and myomas has been scrutinized because of the possible spread of an unsuspected leiomyosarcoma while using a power morcellator during a hysterectomy or myomectomy for presumed symptomatic uterine leiomyomas. Before considering open morcellation of the uterus, a woman should be evaluated to determine if she is at increased risk of malign... ...

BACKGROUND. Small intestinal tumors are uncommon in cats and dogs. The majority of intestinal tumors are malignant and include lymphoma (especially cats), adenocarcinoma and leiomyosarcoma. The metastatic risk for malignant tumors is moderate with metastasis to the regional lymph nodes, liver and lungs relatively common.. DIAGNOSIS. Ultrasonography is recommended for both diagnosis and clinical staging. Other diagnostic tests include contrast radiographs (barium study) and endoscopy. A preoperative diagnosis is sometimes not possible and surgery may be required to both diagnose and treat gastric tumors.. CLINICAL STAGING. An abdominal ultrasound is recommended to check for metastasis to the regional lymph nodes and liver. Chest radiographs or CT scans are done to check for metastasis to the lungs.. TREATMENT. The majority of intestinal tumors are treated with surgical resection with wide margins (3-5 cm) and end-to-end anastomosis. Lymphoma can be treated with multiagent chemotherapy protocols, ...

Class: Chemotherapy. Generic Name: Trabectedin. Trade Name: Yondelis®. For which conditions is this drug approved? Yondelis is approved for the treatment of adults with liposarcoma or leiomyosarcoma that cannot be treated with surgery or has spread to other areas of the body and for patients who have received treatment with certain other medicines.. What is the mechanism of action? Yondelis helps fight cancer by preventing the tumor cells from multiplying and also kills cancer cells. It works by blocking certain types proteins (transcription factors) that are involved the copying and sending of tumor cell DNA.. How is Yondelis typically given (administered)? Youll receive Yondelis once every three weeks through an infusion into a large vein in your body. Each infusion will take 24 hours. Your doctor will also give you a steroid medicine to help reduce your risk of getting certain side effects before each infusion.. How are patients typically monitored?

Our series confirms that these smooth muscle tumors are EBV related (eight of eight were EBER positive) and has similar histopathology characteristics to previous reports (12). All our patients were Chinese, suggesting an ethnic predisposition to the tumor as our study population, although predominantly Chinese, included patients of races such as Malays and Indians. In contrast to a predominantly Western paediatric population described in previous reports, all of our patients were adults. Our results indicate that the disease does not exhibit an age-specific predilection. Rather, the likelihood of developing of EBV+SMT may be related to the degree of immunosupresssion induced.. EBV+SMT may arise long after renal transplant (from 24-156 months), which is consistent with a previous report (13). These tumors were indolent in behavior, even in advanced, multifocal disease. Seven of our patients are still alive, five with radiological evidence of slowly progressive disease. The low expression of the ...

In young women with low-grade leiomyosarcomas (LMS) that have not spread beyond the uterus, the surgeon may-rarely--be able to leave the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries in place, and instead remove only the tumor along with a rim of the normal tissue around it. This approach is not standard treatment, so it is not often offered. It may rarely be a choice for some women who want to still be able to have children after their cancer has been treated. This option has risks, however, so women considering this surgery need to discuss the possible risks and benefits with their gynecologic oncologist before making a decision. It may also be possible to leave a young womans ovaries in place (but remove the uterus and fallopian tubes), since it isnt clear that this will lead to worse outcomes. Still, this is not a standard treatment, and you should discuss the possible risks and benefits with your doctor. In either case, close follow-up is important, and additional surgery may be needed if the ...

Most modern LMSs are web-based. There are a variety of integration strategies for embedding content into LMSs, including AICC, xAPI (also called Tin Can), SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model)[16] and LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability). LMSs were originally designed to be locally hosted on-premise, where the organization purchases a license to a version of the software, and installs it on their own servers and network. Many LMSs are now offered as SaaS (software as a service), with hosting provided by the vendors.[17] Through LMS, teachers may create and integrate course materials, articulate learning goals, align content and assessments, track studying progress, and create customized test for students. LMS allows the communication of learning objectives, and organize learning timelines. LMS leverage is that it delivers learning content and tools straight to learners, and it can also reach marginalized groups through special settings. Such systems have built-in customizable ...

Uterine fibroids are the commonest uterine benign tumors. A potential mechanism of malignant transformation from leiomyomas to leiomyosarcomas has beendescribed. Tyrosine phosphorylation is a key mechanism that controls biological functions, such as proliferation and cell differentiation. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the phosphorylation of epithelial growth factor-receptor (EGFR) in normal myometrium, uterine myomas and uterine leiomyosarcomas. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples from normal myometrium, leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas were studied. Samples were immunohistochemically (IHC) assessed using the anti-EGFR phosphorylation of Y845 (pEGFR-Y845) and anti-pEGFR-Y1173 phosphorylation-specific antibodies. IHC staining was evaluated using a semiquantitative score. The expression of pEGFR-Y845 was significantly upregulated in leiomyosarcomas (p , 0.001) compared to leiomyomas and normal myometrium. In contrast, pEGFR-Y1173 did not differ significantly between the ...

Leiomyomas of deep soft tissue are extremely rare and should only be diagnosed following adherence to stringent histological criteria, namely, the absence of nuclear atypia and of coagulative tumor necrosis. Whether extremely low counts of, or even any, mitotic activity are acceptable when making a diagnosis of leiomyoma in deep soft tissue sites is controversial. The morphology and immunophenotype of smooth muscle tumors in deep soft tissue are similar to their counterparts irrespective of topography. It is interesting to note that leiomyomas of deep soft tissue (extremity and retroperitoneum) are often hyalinized/sclerosed and calcified. However, the prediction of their behavior and correct codification is dependent on thorough, meticulous search for mitoses and necrosis. Leiomyomas of deep soft tissue in the extremity should be devoid of mitoses and “significant” cytological atypia. An occasional larger, slightly pleomorphic cell in the midst of bland spindle cells, can be regarded as

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is an inclusive term used for sarcomas that defy formal sub-classification. The frequency with which this diagnosis is assigned has decreased in the last twenty years. This is because when implemented, careful histologic assessment, immunohistochemistry, and ultra-structural evaluation can often determine lineage of differentiation. Further attrition in the diagnostic frequency of UPS may arise by using array-comparative genomic hybridization. Gene expression arrays are also of potential use as they permit hierarchical gene clustering. Appraisal of the literature is difficult due to a historical perspective in which specific molecular diagnostic methods were previously unavailable. The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) classification has changed with different inclusion criteria. Taxonomy challenges also exist with the older term

Uterine sarcoma (US) is a general term referring to rare malignancies of the uterus that originate from mesenchymal cells. US differ with regards to their histological features, growth behavior and response to therapy. Uterine carcinosarcoma, a type of mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor, is most frequently diagnosed. The most common uterine malignancy of solely mesenchymal origin is leiomyosarcoma. The identification of US on the basis of imaging results poses a major challenge. Therefore, many patients undergo surgery for presumed benign disease, such as leiomyoma, and the true type of tumor is only recognized after the histological examination of resected tissues.… Uterine Sarcoma: Read more about Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, Complications, Causes and Prognosis.

Uterine tumour. Endoscope view of a leiomyoma (lump at centre right) on a uterus (lower right). A leiomyoma is a benign muscle tumour (myoma). The term is used for benign tumours of smooth muscle, the uterus being one place where smooth muscle is found. An ovary (white, upper centre) is attached to the uterus by a ligament (white, centre left). A large cyst (dark red) is seen on this ovary. The cyst (fluid-filled swelling) has developed during the luteal stage of the menstrual cycle, a stage after the release of an egg from the ovary. A leiomyoma may become malignant, being renamed a leiomyosarcoma, sarcoma referring to its cancerous nature. Photographed on the 26th day of the cycle. - Stock Image M850/0411

Angiogenesis plays a key role in the biology of sarcoma, particularly leiomyosarcoma (LMS), synovial sarcoma (SS), and vascular sarcoma (VS). Regorafenib is indicated for use in gastrointestinal stromal tumors after imatinib and sunitinib have failed. RESOUND is a single-stage, phase 2 trial of regorafenib in patients with metastatic cancer, including LMS, SS, and VS, which is refractory to standard treatments. Patients received oral regorafenib 160 mg once daily for 3 weeks on, 1 week off until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Response was assessed by computed tomography scan every 8 weeks per RECIST 1.1. The primary end point was progression-free rate at 2 months. From April 2015 to June 2016, 15 patients with soft-tissue sarcomas (11 LMS, 3 SS, 1 VS) enrolled. Their median age was 61 years. They received a median of 4 previous regimens. Twelve of the 15 patients were evaluable for the primary end point at 8 weeks: 9 patients achieved stable disease, while the other 3 progressed. ...

The top differential diagnosis given the morphology and location include leiomyoma, schwannoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). A malignant counterpart of these lesions is less likely, as malignant mesenchymal tumors tend to be more discohesive, pleomorphic, mitotically active and necrotic. Leiomyoma tends to have cigar-shaped nuclei with indentation. Schwannoma tends to form large cohesive fragments and have wavy nuclei with palisading. Although characteristic cytomorphologic features may suggest a specific entity or line of differentiation, a definitive distinction depends on immunohistochemical studies. A reasonable panel in this case includes desmin for smooth muscle origin, c-kit and DOG-1 for GIST, and S100 for schwannoma. In this case, S100 was diffusely positive while the other markers were negative, supporting a diagnosis of schwannoma. ...

A woman presented with back pain, and when biopsied, she was found to have an inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma - specifically involving the infrahepatic vena cava, the origin of the left renal vein, and the hilum of the right kidney. After undergoing preoperative proton beam radiation, the patient has her tumor resected en bloc by Dr. Vagefi and Dr. Haynes. They will also reconstruct the vena cava with a ringed synthetic graft covered by an omental pedicle flap ...

Uterine fibroids are the most common of the noncancerous (benign) tumors of the uterus. The medical term that is synonymous with uterine fibroids is leiomyoma. The cause of fibroids is unknown. However, the hormone estrogen plays a dominant role, since fibroids and associated symptoms are prevalent during the reproductive years and decline during menopause. Fibroid-related symptoms resolve during the menopause and rarely occur during puberty or adolescence. The mean age group for symptoms related to fibroid tumors is between 30 and 50 years old. The incidence of uterine fibroids ranges from 10% to 50%. Factors affecting the incidence include age, race, genetics, and family history. Luckily, most women with uterine fibroids are asymptomatic. Some fibroids may undergo cancerous (malignant) transformation, but fortunately, this is rare. In fact, leiomyosarcoma (the cancerous change of fibroids) is detected in only 0.1% of women with fibroids.. The uterus is normally about the size of a small lemon. ...

Many women fear that fibroids are more problematic than they actually are. Careful analysis of the data on women with fibroids has revealed some welcome truths.. Myth: Fibroids cause infertility.. Fact: One type of fibroid, the submucosal type that bulges into the uterine cavity, has been found to interfere with a womans ability to become pregnant. This can be treated effectively with minimally invasive surgery on an outpatient basis.. Myth: Fibroids cause preterm labor.. Fact: The vast majority of women who are pregnant and have fibroids go on to have full-term, healthy babies.. Myth: Pregnant women with fibroids have to deliver by cesarean section.. Fact: Unless a fibroid is growing in a location that blocks the birth canal, pregnant women with fibroids do not need to have a cesarean section.. Myth: Fibroids that are growing rapidly mean cancer is present.. Fact: The kind of cancer that is sometimes mistaken for a fibroid, called leiomyosarcoma, is rare. It has been found in only one out of ...

Metastasis is not solely a function of the tumor cells. The cancer cell requires an intricate coordination with its immediate environment, the site of extravasation and the host tissue (reviewed in [32]). The observation that cancer cells come into contact with platelets has been already established. Confocal microscopy analysis of leiomyosarcoma and histiocytoma tumors has demonstrated the presence of platelets and activated platelets within the tumor mass [33]. In a mouse cancer model, platelets expressing yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) isolated from female transgenic C57BL/6 mice were transfused by tail-vein injections into ovarian tumor-bearing mice. The presence of extravascular YFP platelets was observed in both ascites and tumor specimens [17]. Furthermore, once the cancer cell leaves the solid tumor and enters the blood stream platelet-cancer cell interaction becomes inevitable. Preclinical data suggest that cancer cell-platelet interaction in the blood facilitates tumor metastasis. ...

Term GIST was coined in 1983 by Mazur and Clark (PMID 6625048). GISTs were recognized as distinct tumors in the early 1990s, but the correct diagnosis of these tumors was problematic until around 2000.. Originate from the interstitial cell of Cajal, an intestinal pacemaker cell.. Previously were classified as visceral leiomyosarcomas due to their similar appearance histologically. Much of the older data for gastrointestinal sarcomas is therefore of little value because of the mixed histologies..
