Abstract:

It is difficult to distinguish uterine leiomyoma from early leiomyosarcoma in terms of clinical manifestations and ancillary examinations. Due to the lack of tumor-free concept, the use of fibroid breakers without protective measures will increase the risk of intrapulmonary spread of leiomyosarcoma in the womb and results in a poor prognosis. The diagnosis and treatment of a case of abdominal distension after laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy with a splitter in Gansu Provincial Maternity and Child-Care Hospital was retrospectively analyzed. It was considered that uterine leiomyosarcoma was widely spread in the pelvic and abdominal cavity, and the diagnosis and treatment of adjuvant chemotherapy after tumor cytoreduction was performed. And the relevant literature was reviewed, so as to fully understand the risk of laparoscopy myoma fragmentation without protective measures.
