Abstract
Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is the second most common malignant mesenchymal tumor of the uterus. The most common location is the uterine corpus, but it can also primarily arise in a variety of extrauterine locations such as pelvis, ovary, abdominal cavity, vagina, and vulva. We are reporting a case of a 47-year-old female with no significant medical history who presented with multiple pulmonary nodules. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) specimen revealed spindle cell neoplasm consistent with the diagnosis of LGESS. The differential diagnosis included neuroendocrine tumor, synovial sarcoma, solitary fibrous tumor, smooth muscle tumors, and peripheral nerve sheath tumors. The clinical, cytological, and histopathologic details of this case, as well as a discussion of the potential pitfalls and differential diagnosis of spindle cell lesions of the lung are described.
