Abstract
Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a rare tumor classified into two distinct subtypes: low- grade and highgrade. Low-grade ESS is characterized by slow growth and the potential for recurrence or metastasis.
In this case report, we present the case of a 39-year-old woman who was admitted with severe pelvic pain. Her diagnostic workup revealed a low-grade ESS with colonic metastases.
The diagnosis is primarily established through a precise anatomo-pathological examination, specifically utilizing immunohistochemical analysis.
This case is of significant importance due to the rarity and uniqueness of metastatic colon cancer originating from uterine sarcomas. It underscores the importance of considering the possibility of metastatic disease, particularly when solitary colonic lesions are identified.
