[Lung Metastasis from High-grade Uterine Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma;Report of a Case]

We report a rare case of surgical treatment for lung metastasis from high-grade uterine endometrial stromal sarcoma( ESS) with deep vein thrombosis( DVT) and pulmonary embolism(PE) in a 66-yearold woman. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed 3 nodules of 3.9 cm, 3.3 cm, 1.2 cm in diameter in the left S6, S8, S9 of the lung. About 1 month after the hysterectomy following anticoagulant treatment with unfractionated heparin/warfarin, the patient underwent left lower lobectomy of the lung and lymph node dissection by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery( VATS). Microscopic and immunohistochemical examination showed that those tumors were metastases of high-grade ESS. The postoperative course was uneventful and adjuvant chemotherapy by ifosfamide, adriamycin, cisplatin was performed.
