Endometrial stromal sarcoma is a rare condition, constituting nearly 0.2% of all reproductive tract malignancies. The condition mainly affects the peri-menopausal population; however, it can occasionally be found in younger women and adolescents. Here, this is a case of a 20-year-old primiparous female who was referred to us with the main complaint of vaginal bleeding (menometrorrhagia), ongoing for 6 months after delivery. Her sonography report indicated a 5 cm intra-cavitary mass suspicious for myoma or placental polyp. Given the pathology report of low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) on samples obtained through hysteroscopy and D&C, she underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAH+BSO). Endometrial stromal sarcoma is a rare uterine malignancy of mesenchymal origin that should be considered, even in very young patients.
