Soft tissue sarcomas account for less than 1% of all malignant neoplasms in adults and the development of metachronous sarcomas is very uncommon. We describe a case of a 43-year-old woman who presented with two different primary sarcomas. The first was dermatofibrosarcoma protuberance (DFSP) over the back for which she underwent wide excision. She was diagnosed with low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma 2 years later when a routine ultrasound examination during follow-up showed a mass in the anterior wall of the uterus. Second malignant neoplasms reflect the combined effects of genetic susceptibility, environmental exposure and host responses to be the same. Case Report
