Abstract
Primary osteosarcoma of the uterus (uOS) is rare, and its standard treatment has not yet been established. Herein, we present the case of a 50-year-old woman with uOS who demonstrated an improved prognosis after multiple surgeries to the metastatic sites. After the initial diagnosis of uOS, the patient showed recurrence and distant metastasis and hence expected to exhibit a poor prognosis. The patient underwent multiple surgical resections of the metastatic as well as primary tumors, which enabled the patient to survive for 24 months after the initial surgery. Considering that the median survival time of patients with uOS is approximately 6 months, the survival rate of our patient is noteworthy. Based on our observations, it is suggested that the resection of the primary and metastatic tumors might contribute to the extension of the survival period of the patient with chemo-resistant uOS.

Abstract
Primary osteosarcoma of the uterus is an extremely rare pure heterologous sarcoma of the uterus. The relevant available information is limited to case reports. To date, only 31 cases of this type of cancer have been reported. Here, we report the first clinical experience with the administration of an immunotherapy-based combination regimen for multiple metastatic primary osteosarcomas of the uterus. The patient had undergone multiple treatments prior to this regimen, but her condition continued to progress. However, after 3 cycles of immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy and chemotherapy, a review showed that the disease was stable and even in partial remission. The patient has a good quality of life, and long-term survival is expected.

Abstract
Uterine osteosarcoma has been reported, but it is an extremely rare tumor with highly aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. The pathogenesis of uterine osteosarcoma is not fully understood. Herein, we report on a high-grade uterine sarcoma with focal osteosarcomatous differentiation that developed from a long-standing MED12-mutated leiomyoma. A 47-year-old nulligravida woman, with known uterine leiomyoma presented with abdominal pain and distention. Imaging analyses revealed a tumor with a large cystic area in the uterine corpus and multiple metastases in intrapelvic and paraaortic lymph nodes, left ovary and left lung. With a clinical diagnosis of uterine sarcoma the patient underwent abdominal total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, partial omentectomy and removal of the left obturator lymph node. Despite postoperative chemotherapy and radiation therapy, the tumor progressed rapidly. She died 18 weeks after the surgery. Histopathologic examination identified a high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma in which focal osteoid production was observed. This high-grade sarcoma with focal osteosarcomatous differentiation was located within the uterine leiomyoma, and Sanger sequencing showed the identical MED12 L36R mutation in both the osteosarcomatous and leiomyomatous components supporting the shared origin of these two components. We, therefore, concluded that the high-grade sarcoma with osteosarcomatous differentiation arose from the transformation of the precedent leiomyoma.

Abstract
Pure osteosarcoma arising from the uterus is extremely rare. Only 15 cases of this type of cancer have been reported to date. Most patients showed local or lung metastasis early after surgery and died within a year of treatment initiation, regardless of multimodality therapy, indicating that this tumor is aggressive with a poor prognosis. Herein, we report the first clinical experience treated with a combination of docetaxel and gemcitabine for local and lung metastasis from primary osteosarcoma of the uterus. Although the disease was considered stable after three cycles of treatment, new metastatic lesions appeared in the lungs after six cycles. The patient was asymptomatic for 13 months; however, she died two months after symptom recurrence. Our case demonstrates that a combined regimen of docetaxel and gemcitabine may be a sound therapeutic option to control primary osteosarcoma of the uterus.

Abstract
Pure sarcomas of the uterine corpus are uncommon, constituting less than 3% of all malignancies at this site, and most of them are leiomyosarcomas and endometrial stromal sarcomas. Rare histotypes of homologous sarcomas and heterologous sarcomas are occasionally encountered, and the absence of significant accumulated experience with these histotypes at this location may potentially raise diagnostic and patient management difficulties. In this article, the clinicopathologic attributes of all earlier reported sarcomas of the uterine corpus other than leiomyosarcomas and endometrial stromal sarcomas are summarized. Included are embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma, angiosarcoma, alveolar soft part sarcoma, malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas), osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, liposarcomatous tumors, malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumors, Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor, and other rare histotypes. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (20%), Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (17%), angiosarcoma (14%), and pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma (13%) appeared to be more common than the others, although there was no single overwhelmingly prevalent histotype in the group. A subset, including embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, alveolar soft part sarcoma, and PEComas, peak in the premenopausal years, but most of the others were observed in postmenopausal women. Favorable outcomes have been reported for the patients diagnosed with alveolar soft part sarcoma, and the prognosis for their counterparts with PEComa remains a matter of debate. Multimodal therapeutic approaches to contemporary patients with embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas have resulted in significantly improved outcomes. Unfortunately, most of the other sarcomas have been associated with rapid tumor progression and unfavorable patient outcomes. The differential diagnosis for these sarcomas is often extensive and varies by histotype, but their accurate diagnosis fundamentally requires the careful exclusion of biphasic malignancies.
