To present a case of ruptured uterine leiomyosarcoma with unusual heterologous components, exploring diagnostic and treatment pathways.
Endoscopic examination of the lower gastrointestinal tract followed by imaging studies (MRI and CT) to evaluate the mass.
Surgical intervention involving total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and partial omentectomy due to suspected rupture.
Pathological analysis of the resected tissue to identify tumor characteristics and heterologous components.
Diagnosis of ruptured uterine leiomyosarcoma with enlarged mass observed over 8 years of follow-up.
Presence of ectopic osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma confirmed during pathological examination.
Intraoperative findings included tumor rupture and adhesion to the ileum, requiring partial ileectomy.

Hayashi et al. (2026) studied this question.
