Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary ovarian leiomyosarcomas are exceptionally rare, accounting for less than 0.1% of ovarian malignancies.
  • Leiomyosarcomas typically arise in the uterus, making ovarian origin highly unusual.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with a slightly enlarged, irregular right ovary.
  • Color Doppler sonography revealed an intermediate resistance index (RI) of 0.54.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent surgery alone for the ovarian mass.
  • Post-surgical follow-up at 14 months showed no evidence of disease, indicating successful treatment.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of a high index of suspicion for rare ovarian neoplasms.
