Endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESSs) are rare malignant tumors of the uterus that arise from the endometrial stroma, the annual incidence of ESS being 1-2/million women. Patients present with nonspecific complaints of abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure symptoms. Postmenopausal women rarely present with a low-grade ESS, as it is more common in younger women. ESS is usually confused with leiomyomas radiologically. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry are essential for the diagnosis. We, herein, report a case of a postmenopausal female who presented with something coming out per vagina. The clinical impression was that of a third-degree uterovaginal prolapse that on histopathological examination was diagnosed as a low-grade ESS.
子宫内膜间质肉瘤(ESSs)是一种罕见的子宫恶性肿瘤,起源于子宫内膜间质,ESS的年发病率为每百万女性1 - 2例。患者表现为子宫异常出血、盆腔疼痛和压迫症状等非特异性主诉。绝经后女性很少出现低级别ESS,因为它在年轻女性中更常见。ESS在影像学上通常易与平滑肌瘤混淆。组织病理学检查和免疫组织化学对于诊断至关重要。在此,我们报告一例绝经后女性病例,该患者出现经阴道有肿物脱出。临床诊断为三度子宫阴道脱垂,经组织病理学检查诊断为低级别ESS。
