Background:

Uterine sarcoma presents a significant challenge due to its propensity for recurrence and resistance to conventional therapies.
Multiple relapses necessitate aggressive treatment strategies to manage advanced disease and improve patient outcomes.

Observation:

A 61-year-old woman with recurrent uterine sarcoma underwent 13 cytoreductive surgeries, including extensive organ resections and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
Despite extensive tumor debulking (over 60 liters), the patient maintained a satisfactory quality of life and continued working as a teacher.
Serial computed tomography scans showed no signs of tumor recurrence 64 months post-relapse.

Findings:

The patient achieved an overall survival of 69 months, surpassing the 5-year mark from initial diagnosis.

Repeated optimal cytoreduction, maximizing tumor mass removal and restoring organ integrity, is crucial for managing chemo- and radioresistant abdominal tumors.

This surgical approach mitigates complications like cachexia, intoxication, and organ dysfunction, thereby prolonging survival.

Implications:

Cytoreductive surgery is a vital treatment modality for recurrent uterine sarcoma, offering a survival benefit beyond standard therapies.
Aggressive surgical management can significantly enhance the quality of life for patients with advanced and recurrent gynecologic malignancies.
This case highlights the potential of maximal cytoreduction in achieving long-term disease control and improved survival in challenging uterine sarcoma cases.
