Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma: a rare entity
Keywords:
Uterine sarcoma, Endometrial stromal sarcoma, Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma
Abstract
Endometrial stromal sarcoma is a rare malignant uterine tumour, constituting 0.2% of all gynaecological malignancies. Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGSS) poses a great diagnostic challenge. A case of LGSS, diagnosed on histopathology examination of the hysterectomy specimen is reported here.
