- Abstract
- Uterine sarcoma is a rare female neoplasm that accounts for about 2-4% of all uterine malignancies. According to the classification of Norris and Taylor, the subgroup of endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS), comprising approximately 7-15% of all uterine sarcomas, can be divided into low-grade ESS and high-grade ESS and is characterized by proliferations composed of cells with endometrial stromal cell differentiation. We experienced this infrequent malignant tumor in a 52-year old woman and was treated by total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy followed by adriamycin chemotherapy. We present a case of low-grade ESS with a brief review of the literature.
