A novel combined treatment, including superselective arterial catheter embolization, effectively reduced pelvic leiomyosarcoma. This approach made aggressive surgery unnecessary, offering a less invasive option for managing this rare cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Pelvic leiomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy.
  • Extensive pelvic tumors often necessitate radical surgical intervention, such as hemipelvectomy.
  • Musculoskeletal pain can be an atypical presenting symptom.

Observation:

  • A 74-year-old woman presented with atypical lumbosacral and lower extremity pain due to extensive pelvic leiomyosarcoma.
  • Hemipelvectomy was initially considered the primary treatment option.
  • A pelvic prosthesis model was prepared based on imaging.

Findings:

  • The patient's tumor and pain responded unexpectedly well to a combined treatment regimen.
  • Superselective arterial catheter embolization was a key component of the successful treatment.

  • Significant tumor regression occurred, obviating the need for extensive surgery.

    • Implications:

    • Minimally invasive endovascular techniques can be effective in managing extensive pelvic leiomyosarcoma.
    • Combined treatment strategies may offer an alternative to radical surgery for selected patients.
    • Further research into embolization as a primary or neoadjuvant therapy for pelvic sarcomas is warranted.
