“…Moreover, the capacity of the endometrial stroma to undergo smooth muscle differentiation is well known [2]. Consequently, Tang et al [34] conclude that these tumors are actually "stromomyomas", whereas others had described UTROSCT under the designation "stromatosis" [8,15,32,37] or stromal endometriosis [18].…”

A uterine tumor resembling an ovarian sex-cord tumor (UTROSCT) is a very rare lesion with only 38 cases reported in the literature so far. Here, we show an additional case of a pure UTROSCT with a DNA stemline at 1c in a 49-year-old woman presenting with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Problems in differential diagnosis arise mainly due to the variable histological picture of UTROSCT. Immunohistochemically, these tumors express cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen, vimentin, and smooth muscle actin. Moreover, in some cases, CD99 and alpha-inhibin are detectable. Although 36% of UTROSCT have infiltrative margins, almost all of them behave benignly. It is thus questionable whether the same prognostic criteria apply for these tumors as for endometrial stromal sarcomas. However, in the so-called mixed UTROSCT, the endometrial stromal sarcoma component determines the outcome.

“…Although most investigators favor a derivation from stromal cells of the endometrium, their infrequency has prevented any one laboratory from accumulating much experience with them and n o criteria have been advanced that provide a reliable indication of which tumors are benign and which are maligiiant. 8, 10 We present the clinical and pathologic findings in 53 examples of stromal tumors and explore the relationship of morphologic fea-tures to patient survival in an effort to establish criteria that will provide a basis for an estimation of their clinical behavior.…”

The clinical and pathologic features of 53 endometrical stromal tumors were studied to determine which pathologic characteristics were related to the clinical behavior. Morphologically, stromal tumors were divided into 2 groups: 18 tumors with pushing margins (stromal nodules) and 35 tumors with infiltrating margins (endolymphatic stromal myosis or stromal sarcoma). Stromal nodules, which were expansile, noninfiltrating lesions composed of cells similar to those found in normal endometrial stroma, were considered benign. The tumors with infiltrating margins were separated on the basis of mitotic activity. Patients with endolymphatic stromal myosis had 100% survival at 5 years and those with stromal sarcoma had 55% survival. The size of the primary tumor and presence of vein invasion showed a slight correlation with the patient's prognosis but no correlation was found with increasing degrees of cellular atypism. For patients whose disease was not controlled by hysterectomy and who had symptomatic extra‐uterine tumor, x‐ray irradiation appeared to be of benefit. The patients' symptoms and physical examination findings were not different from those of patients having other uterine tumors.
