Background. Laparoscopic hysterectomies are increasingly popular; a morcellation device is often used. Although there are some clear benefits, morcellation of tissue does have potential risks. Case Presentation. In this case report we present a 55-year-old @entity1 with an @entity5 4 years after a laparoscopic hysterectomy using a morcellation device. Postoperative histological analysis, compromised by morcellated tissue, showed @entity1868 . Because of the @entity5 no follow-up was performed. The @entity1 presented now with an @entity5 , and she was scheduled for surgical @entity5 . During abdominal surgery the @entity5 appeared malignant and biopsies were taken. Histological analysis showed @entity1822 , and the @entity1 was referred to a third care centre for further treatment. The @entity1 recovered quickly after abdominal @entity5 ; however, after 7 months the @entity1 had complaints and a CT scan showed a large @entity5 with possible lung metastasis. The @entity1 received palliative chemotherapy and died after 10 months. Conclusion. This case shows that although unexpected after a hysterectomy, a @entity1822 has to be considered in case of a suspect @entity5 in the lower abdomen.
