Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is an extraordinary rare tumor and it has an offensive clinical course. HS of the uterine cervix is a far uncommon tumor with just a few cases described so far. Here we presented a case of primary HS of the uterine cervix in a 62-year-old female initially misdiagnosed as large cell non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of HS of the uterine cervix from Iran.
CASE REPORT: The patient presented with post-menopausal vaginal bleeding. Further evaluations revealed the presence of a relatively large cervical mass that was sampled. Under the preliminary diagnosis of large cell non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, the patient underwent radical surgery. Postoperative pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of HS of the uterine cervix. The patient received chemotherapy.
CONCLUSION: Clinical presentations of HS of the uterine cervix are very similar to more common cervical tumors; as a result its diagnosis relies on immunohistochemical methods. A correct diagnose could lead to the proper and timely treatment.
