Uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex-cord tumors (UTROSCT) is an extremely rare type of uterine tumor, and its clinical characteristics are not fully understood. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed and MEDLINE using the keywords, "uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors", limited to case reports. Clinico-pathological characteristics and survival data were abstracted and evaluated for the analysis. Among 43 cases reporting UTROSCT, Type I (endometrial stromal tumors with sex cord-like elements, ESTSCLE) and Type II (classic UTROSCT) were reported in 5 (11.6%) and 17 (39.5%), respectively, and nearly half of reported UTROSCT did not subcategorize the histology pattern into Type I or II (unspecified, n=21, 48.8%). Mean age was 52.2. The two most common symptoms were postmenopausal vaginal bleeding (44.2%) and abnormal menstruation (39.5%). The majority underwent total hysterectomy with adnexectomy (65.1%) followed by hysterectomy alone (18.6%) and tumor resection alone (14.0%). Mean tumor size was 6.2cm, and extra-uterine spread was seen in 7.0%. By immunohistochemistry, calretinin expression was significantly correlated with CAM5.2, inhibin, and progesterone receptor expression (all, p<0.05). In survival analysis, disease-free survival (DFS) rates for all 43 cases at 1, 2, and 5 years for all cases were 97.0%, 92.7%, and 69.7%, respectively. Among recurrent cases, median time to recur was 24 months (range 9-48). Decreased DFS was significantly associated with pelvic pain (2-year rate, 81.8% versus 94.7%, p=0.006), histology subcategory (Type I versus II, 23.8% versus 100%, p=0.006), tumor size ≥10cm (75.0% versus 100%, p=0.046), cervical/extra-uterine metastasis (46.7% versus 100%, p=0.024), and lymphovascular space involvement (50% versus 100%, p=0.002). Treatment patterns were not statistically associated with DFS (hysterectomy, p=0.28; and adnexectomy, p=0.38). When histology patterns were examined, Type II disease was associated with less aggressive tumor behavior when compared to Type I disease: extra-uterine spread (Type I versus II, 40% versus 5.9%, p=0.007) and lymphovascular space invasion (50% versus 6.7%, p=0.012). Among 17 cases of Type II disease, disease recurrence was reported in 1 (5.9%) case at 3 years after the initial treatment. In conclusion, our study showed that UTROSCT was often not subcategorized. Because classic UTROSCT has a distinct clinical outcome and characteristic histological patterns when compared to ESTSCLE, distinguishing UTROSCT from ESTSCLE is an integral component of the diagnosis. While classic UTROSCT typically has a favorable prognosis, it has been known to develop a late recurrence. If risk factors for recurrence are absent, both hysterectomy and mass resection alone are possible options for management.
子宫肿瘤样卵巢性索肿瘤(UTROSCT)是一种极其罕见的子宫肿瘤,其临床特征尚未完全明确。在PubMed和MEDLINE数据库中进行了系统的文献检索,使用关键词“子宫肿瘤样卵巢性索肿瘤”,检索范围限于病例报告。提取并评估临床病理特征和生存数据以进行分析。在43例报告UTROSCT的病例中,I型(具有性索样成分的子宫内膜间质肿瘤,ESTSCLE)和II型(经典UTROSCT)分别有5例(11.6%)和17例(39.5%)报告,近一半报告的UTROSCT未将组织学模式分为I型或II型(未分类,n = 21,48.8%)。平均年龄为52.2岁。最常见的两种症状是绝经后阴道出血(44.2%)和月经异常(39.5%)。大多数患者接受了全子宫切除术加附件切除术(65.1%),其次是单纯子宫切除术(18.6%)和单纯肿瘤切除术(14.0%)。平均肿瘤大小为6.2cm,7.0%的患者出现子宫外扩散。通过免疫组织化学分析,钙视网膜蛋白表达与CAM5.2、抑制素和孕激素受体表达显著相关(均p<0.05)。在生存分析中,43例患者的1年、2年和5年无病生存率(DFS)分别为97.0%、92.7%和69.7%。在复发病例中,复发的中位时间为24个月(范围9 - 48个月)。DFS降低与盆腔疼痛显著相关(2年生存率,81.8%对94.7%,p = 0.006)、组织学亚类(I型对II型,23.8%对100%,p = 0.006)、肿瘤大小≥10cm(75.0%对100%,p = 0.046)、宫颈/子宫外转移(46.7%对100%,p = 0.024)和淋巴管间隙受累(50%对100%,p = 0.002)。治疗方式与DFS无统计学关联(子宫切除术,p = 0.28;附件切除术,p = 0.38)。当检查组织学模式时,与I型疾病相比,II型疾病的肿瘤行为侵袭性较小:子宫外扩散(I型对II型,40%对5.9%,p = 0.007)和淋巴管间隙侵犯(50%对6.7%,p = 0.012)。在17例II型疾病患者中,1例(5.9%)在初始治疗后3年报告疾病复发。总之,我们的研究表明UTROSCT常常未进行亚分类。由于经典UTROSCT与ESTSCLE相比具有独特的临床结局和特征性组织学模式,因此将UTROSCT与ESTSCLE区分开来是诊断的一个重要组成部分。虽然经典UTROSCT通常预后良好,但已知会出现晚期复发。如果不存在复发危险因素,单纯子宫切除术和肿块切除术都是可行的治疗选择。
