Uterine sarcomas usually have an aggressive clinical behaviour, with great tendency to local and distant spread, with unfavourable clinical outcome, excluding endometrial stromal sarcomas and adenosarcoma. Tumour stage is the…
Uterine sarcomas are rare, high-risk malignancies. Expert histologic review is important for accurate diagnosis. For high-grade leiomyosarcomas, the risk of recurrence is high after complete resection of uterus-limited disease; however,…
Uterine sarcomas are rare, heterogeneous malignant tumours of several histologic types originating from mesenchymal tissues of the uterus. The most common histologic types are carcinosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, and endometrial stromal sarcoma,…
