Uterine leiomyosarcoma diagnostic challenges in a resource-limited setting: a case report and review of the literature

This case emphasizes the aggressive nature of uterine leiomyosarcoma and the need for heightened clinical suspicion, particularly in low-resource environments. It calls for the development of a preoperative risk assessment tool tailored to leiomyosarcoma, enabling better differentiation from benign conditions and informing surgical management. The rapid progression of this patient's disease highlights the urgent need for effective follow-up strategies and access to comprehensive oncological care in developing regions.

Abstract

This case emphasizes the aggressive nature of uterine leiomyosarcoma and the need for heightened clinical suspicion, particularly in low-resource environments. It calls for the development of a preoperative risk assessment tool tailored to leiomyosarcoma, enabling better differentiation from benign conditions and informing surgical management. The rapid progression of this patient's disease highlights the urgent need for effective follow-up strategies and access to comprehensive oncological care in developing regions.
