Case in brief

A 60-year-old woman presented with dull lower abdominal pain. Ultrasonography showed a posterior uterine mass suspicious for sarcoma. FDG PET/CT demonstrated uterine distortion and marked enlargement with diffuse increased uptake, suggesting malignancy. MRI showed a posterior wall mass with lower enhancement than the normal myometrium and internal enhancing septa, raising concern for leiomyosarcoma. After total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, histopathology and immunohistochemistry identified the mass as primary uterine dysgerminoma.

What made this case unusual

Imaging suggested a uterine sarcoma, particularly leiomyosarcoma, but histopathology and immunohistochemistry established primary uterine dysgerminoma, a rare malignant neoplasm.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Imaging features of a malignant uterine mass may not establish its histologic type; tissue examination, including immunohistochemistry, was needed to diagnose dysgerminoma in this case.
