ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Giant cell tumor of soft tissue (GCT-ST) is a rare primary soft tissue tumor. GCT-ST mainly occurs in the trunk and extremities. There is no standard treatment for GCT-ST. This paper reports a rare case of primary uterine GCT-ST. CASE PRESENTATION A 48-year-old female patient underwent a transabdominal subhysterectomy for uterine leiomyoma. Postoperative pathological examination showed GCT-ST with unclear tissue boundary (10.0â ×â 6.0â ×â 5.0 cm). A small amount of GCT-ST tissue could be seen on the local edge of the leiomyoma. Residual tumor tissue was found around the uterine cavity. The patient reported persistent lower abdominal distension pain 3 months after the operation. Pelvic and abdominal imaging showed a huge tumor and multiple pelvic and abdominal organ metastasis. No pulmonary metastasis was found. Exploratory surgery revealed widespread metastases in the abdominal and peritoneal cavities, involving both ovaries, right tubal serous membrane, appendix serous membrane, bladder, pelvic peritoneum, and abdominal wall incision. After surgery, the patient had 6 cycles of docetaxel and carboplatin but stopped treatments due to economic reasons. The patient died 3 months later because of multiple organs failure.CONCLUSION:
GCT-ST is generally benign but has unpredictable behavior. A massive recurrence with wide invasion is possible after subtotal resection.
