Abstract

Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor (NTRK)-rearranged uterine sarcoma is a rare type of uterine sarcoma. This paper presents a case of a 49-year-old female who was admitted to the hospital due to lower abdominal pain and subsequently diagnosed with tropomyosin 3 (TPM3)::NTRK1-rearranged uterine sarcoma. To our knowledge, TPM3::NTRK1-rearranged sarcomas almost always occur in the cervix, and this is a novel case of uterine corpus occurrence. The patient received chemotherapy and radiotherapy after surgery. No recurrence or metastasis was observed after 9 months of treatment. Moreover, all reported clinicopathological features, treatment methods, and prognoses of NTRK-rearranged uterine sarcoma patients are reviewed herein.
