Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex-cord tumor: A case-report and a review of literature

摘要

Uterine tumors with sex-cord elements are very rare. Clement and Scully described 14 patients in 1976 (Clement and Scully, 1976). The authors divided these tumors into two groups: one corresponding to endometrial stromal neoplasms with focal areas resembling ovarian sex-cord elements (also called endometrial stromal tumors with sex cord-like elements — ESTSCLE) and the other corresponding to intramural uterine tumors with a predominant or exclusive pattern similar to ovarian sex-cord tumor (also called uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex-cord tumor — UTROSCT) (Clement and Scully, 1976; Czernobilsky, 2008). We describe a patient diagnosed with locally advanced UTROSCT with an unusual pattern of infiltration and growth, similar to endometrial stromal sarcomas.
