Mixed stromal and smooth muscle tumours of the uterus: a report of two cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mixed stromal and smooth muscle uterine tumours, defined as those containing at least 30% of each component as seen by routine light microscopy, are rare. This report describes the morphological features of two such tumours diagnosed in 44-year-old and 50-year-old females complaining from recurrent uterine bleeding that was unresponsive to medical treatment. Morphological and immunohistochemical evaluations were performed, and a final diagnosis of mixed endometrial stromal nodule and smooth muscle tumour of the uterus was rendered in both cases.

Dedifferentiated mixed stromal-smooth muscle tumor of the uterus. Report of a case.
So-called dedifferentiation in mesenchymal neoplasms of the uterus is very rare. Among conventional low-grade stromal tumors only three cases of dedifferentiation were reported, whereas in mixed stromal-smooth muscle tumors the dedifferentiation was yet not described. Here we present such a case of low-grade mixed stromal-smooth muscle tumor with dedifferentiation. The tumor occurred in 52-year...

Grossly, the tumor sized 130 x 130 x 100 mm involved the uterine corpus almost in its entirety. Histologically, the tumor consisted of two cell types. In some areas, the tumor cells showed typical features of endometrial stromal tumors and resembled stromal c...
متن کاملEndometrial Stromal Nodule
The endometrial stromal nodule is a benign tumor composed of differentiated endometrial stromal cells arranged as a well circumscribed nodule with smooth non-invasive margins. They are rare neoplasms, diagnosed in most instances by microscopy. Although nodules are benign in nature, hysterectomy is the treatment of choice to enable evaluation of the tumor margins which are well demarcated in...
متن کاملHistological and Immunological Evaluation of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) constitute the majority of gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors. They usually express a proto-oncogen protein called CD117 detected by immunohistochemistry. This study investigated the differentiation of GISTs as well as the risk of aggressive behaviors in GISTs from surgically-treated patients in university affiliated hospitals. Methods: The c...
