Despite the inert nature of low-grade endometrial sarcoma, they must be meticulously diagnosed on time, with an exact grading of the severity and staging of the disease, which further guides the treatment modality and prognosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case summary:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A married Asian female without any significant past medical and surgical history complained of abdominal distension and discomfort, which was progressive in nature, for which a radiological assessment was made that showed features suggestive of endometrial sarcoma. Total abdominal hysterectomy with sapingoopherectomy was done without any perioperative complications. Histology further confirmed the diagnosis. Post-operatively, the patient had an unremarkable hospital stay and was discharged home.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Endometrial stromal sarcoma is one of the rare malignant entities presenting usually in late adult females, but sometimes it can present at an earlier age as well. Abdominal masses in females, although usually overlooked as benign, can sometimes be associated with a malignant picture. Low-grade endometrial sarcomas have been seen to masquerade other minor benign cases, such as leiomyoma. Despite the rarity of such malignant conditions, diagnosis and management are rather straightforward, and post-operative patient prognosis has been found to be rewarding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among the uterine sarcoma cases, endometrial sarcoma comes under the malignant disease of the least occurrence. Compared to other malignant conditions, these patients present with minor symptoms like discomfort, which may go unchecked. The major factor that should be noted is the on-time diagnosis and appropriate choice of treatment modality. Overall, despite a minute prevalence and difficult diagnosis, the prognosis of the patient is rather good.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2024.109544","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,19]],"date-time":"2024-03-19T12:56:17Z","timestamp":1710852977000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A rare case report of low-grade endometrial sarcoma: A surgical tale from Himalayas"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"117","author":[{"given":"Sagun","family":"Ghimire","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, B & B Hospital, Gwarko, Lalitpur, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pratima","family":"Shrestha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, KIST Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Imadol, Lalitpur, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kritick","family":"Bhandari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"KIST Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Gwarko, Imadol, Lalitpur 44600, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"R1-82-20260423","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"131","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ygyno.2009.09.023","article-title":"Uterine sarcomas: a review","volume":"116","author":"D'Angelo,","year":"2010","journal-title":"Gynecol.
