The diagnosis rate of deep pelvic endometriosis is increasing. Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a rare neoplasm. Extragenital ESS is an extremely uncommon event. Very few cases of extragenital ESS have been reported to date. The diagnosis of this entity is very difficult in some instances. Knowledge about its management is also limited. In this paper, we review the current literature on the clinical management, histology, immunohistochemistry, treatment and outcome of ESS arising in pelvic endometriosis.
深部盆腔子宫内膜异位症的诊断率正在上升。子宫内膜间质肉瘤(ESS)是一种罕见的肿瘤。子宫外 ESS 极为罕见。迄今为止,仅报道了极少数子宫外 ESS 病例。在某些情况下,该实体的诊断非常困难。对其治疗的了解也有限。本文回顾了有关起源于盆腔子宫内膜异位症的 ESS 的临床管理、组织学、免疫组织化学、治疗和预后的当前文献。
