“…Unlike uterine leiomyoma, which is the most common neoplasm of the uterus [4], STUMP is a rare, poorly defined subcategory of uterine smooth muscle tumours (SMTs), which cannot be unequivocally classified as be- nign or malignant histologically [1]. The incidence of STUMP is not well documented, varying around 0.01% of all women undergoing gynaecological surgery for a presumed preoperative diagnosis of uterine myoma [3]. STUMP is diagnosed more often in premenopause, at an average age of 44 years.…”

Second, clinical features of STUMP include dysmenorrhea, heavy menstrual bleeding, and pelvic pain, all of which are similar to those of benign leiomyoma.…”
