Area of Science:

Oncology
Uropathology

Background:

Ureteric leiomyosarcoma is an exceptionally rare and aggressive smooth muscle tumor arising from the ureter.
Limited epidemiological data exists due to its rarity, with existing literature primarily consisting of case reports.

Observation:

The case involved a 32-year-old female presenting with symptoms initially suspected as an adnexal mass.
Intraoperative findings revealed a left ureteric tumor, with ovaries appearing normal.
Diagnosis was confirmed via histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry.

Findings:

The tumor was surgically managed through excision, partial ureteric resection, and end-to-end anastomosis.
Post-operative treatment included chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Implications:

This case expands the known age range for ureteric leiomyosarcoma presentation.
It underscores the diagnostic challenge and the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach for rare genitourinary sarcomas.
Highlights the role of surgical intervention combined with adjuvant therapies in managing this aggressive malignancy.
