The endometrial stromal nodule is the rarest of the endometrial stromal tumours. It is a benign tumour composed of well-differentiated endometrial stromal cells arranged as a well-circumscribed nodule with smooth, non invasive margins. We describe a case of uterine stromal nodule occurring in a 45-year-old woman with history of menometrorrhagia in which case ultrasonography conclude to a leiomyoma. Epidemiology, pathologic aspects, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis are reviewed.
