“…It leads to same symptoms as those of any other uterine sarcoma or endometrial carcinoma, such as mass per abdomen, abnormal bleeding per vagina. 5 Although uterine sarcomas are described as aggressive neoplasm, low-grade ESS has a low potential for spreading.

“…3 Despite its well-known good prognostic nature, sometimes low-grade ESS might behave as an aggressive malignancy and in such cases thorough clinical and gynecological evaluation with integrated approach is required. 4,5 CASE REPORT CASE REPORT CASE REPORT CASE REPORT CASE REPORT Four cases of ESS were diagnosed over a period of one year. Patients were aged between 35 and 70 years and they presented with mass per abdomen.…”

Endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESSs) are morphologically heterogenous and diagnosed by light microscopy in most instances. The distinction between smooth muscle neoplasms, such as cellular leiomyoma and low-grade ESS can be problematic. The diagnoses of ESS on the basis of systematic assessment of gross and histological parameters are highlighted.Hysterectomy from four patients for a clinical diagnosis of leiomyoma was studied. Grossly, three had polypoidal lesion and in one myometrial widening with obvious permeation was noted. Microscopy showed features of ESS in three cases. Other case was diagnosed as cellular leiomyoma thought to be endometrial polyp. Reticulin stain was employed to highlight the characteristic spiral arterioles in ESS and thick-walled vessels in cellular leiomyoma.

“…In some circumstance, ESS presents hyperintensity on T2-weighted images, and isointensity relative to the myometrium on T1-weighted images. Moreover, obvious hyperintensity was observed on diffusion weighted imaging (3)(4)(5). Interestingly, in some cases, ESS may have a characteristic low-intensity rim on T2-weighted images (6).…”
