Rare case of high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma metastasising to inferior vena cava and right atrium
Endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESSs) are a rare form of uterine malignancy representing <10% of all uterine sarcomas and <1% of all primary malignant tumours of the uterus. Invasion of the vascular system by low-grade ESS has been reported in the literature. Here we report the first case of a high-grade ESS invading the pelvic and gonadal vein and extending through the inferior vena cava to the right atrium, the diagnostic challenges and multidisciplinary management of the case.
