A Case of Mesenteric Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma develops in adult soft tissues and has a poor prognosis. It often recurs in the limbs and trunk, but is rare in the mesentery. Complete resection of the tumor is the first-line treatment, and there are previously reported cases of the usefulness of chemotherapy and radiation therapy; however, several factors remain to be clarified. We report a case of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma originating in the ascending mesocolon.
