395 A case of uterine tumour resembling ovarian sex cord tumour

Abstract

Introduction and aims: Endometrial stromal sarcomas account for 0.25% of all uterine malignancies. Uterine Tumour Resembling Ovarian Sex-Cord Tumours (UTROSCTs) are a rare type of neoplasm arising from the endometrial stroma. Epidemiology, aetiology, pathogenesis, management and natural history of UTROSCTs are still a question of debate, as there is little available data in the literature and the diagnosis is made exclusively on histopathologic examination. Although rare, the possibility of UTROSCTs should be kept in mind, when a patient presents with abnormal bleeding and an enlarged uterus.
