title: An interesting unusual case of endometrial stromal sarcoma.
abstract: An interesting case with an unusual presentation of endometrial sarcoma is described. This patient presented with a history of continuous vaginal bleeding 3 months following a full term caesarean section and perception of an enlarging abdominal mass. The physical examination revealed an enlarged uterus with a leiomyoma though there was no evidence of the same at the time of the caesarean section. A laparotomy was undertaken and the patient was found to have a large tumor with multiple polypoidal growths invading the myometrium through to the serosa. This was proven to be an endometrial stromal sarcoma on histopathology.
