Uterine leiomyomas (ULM) are the most common benign tumors of the female genitalia, while uterine leiomyosarcomas (ULMS) are rare. The sarcoma is diffuse growth, prone to hematogenous metastasis, and has a poor prognosis. Due to their similar clinical symptoms and morphological features, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish them, and the final diagnosis depends on histological diagnosis. Misdiagnosis of ULM as ULMS will lead to more invasive and extensive surgery when it is not needed, while misdiagnosis of ULMS as ULM may lead to delayed treatment and poor prognosis. This review searched and studied the published articles on ULM and ULMS, and summarized the potential markers for the differential diagnosis of ULMS. These markers will facilitate differential diagnosis and personalized treatment, providing timely diagnosis and potentially better prognosis for patients.
子宫肌瘤(ULM)是女性生殖器官最常见的良性肿瘤,而子宫平滑肌肉瘤(ULMS)则较为罕见。肉瘤呈弥漫性生长,易发生血行转移,预后不良。由于它们具有相似的临床症状和形态特征,有时难以区分,最终诊断依赖于组织学诊断。将 ULM 误诊为 ULMS 时,在不需要的情况下会导致更具侵袭性和广泛性的手术,而将 ULMS 误诊为 ULM 可能会导致治疗延误和预后不良。本综述对已发表的关于 ULM 和 ULMS 的文章进行了检索和研究,总结了用于鉴别诊断 ULMS 的潜在标志物。这些标志物将有助于鉴别诊断和个体化治疗,为患者提供及时的诊断和潜在更好的预后。
