High-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma presenting with multiple brain metastases: a case report

The inherent rarity of high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma, combined with its highly unusual initial presentation as neurological symptoms, significantly contributed to the diagnostic delay in this case. This report critically underscores the vital importance for clinicians to maintain a high index of suspicion for high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with brain metastases, even when typical gynecological complaints are absent.

Abstract

The inherent rarity of high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma, combined with its highly unusual initial presentation as neurological symptoms, significantly contributed to the diagnostic delay in this case. This report critically underscores the vital importance for clinicians to maintain a high index of suspicion for high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with brain metastases, even when typical gynecological complaints are absent.
