Introduction
• Uncommon uterine tumours• Less than 2% of all uterine malignancies• Less than 10% of uterine mesenchymal
malignancies
![Page 3: Endometrial stromal tumours revisited](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58a0e0231a28abeb378b69ff/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Endometrial stromal nodule
• Rare benign tumours• Well circumscribed of variable sizes• Intramural tumour or polypoidal tumour protruding into the
lumen• Fleshy and soft yellow to tan cut surface
that may contain cystic areas.
![Page 4: Endometrial stromal tumours revisited](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58a0e0231a28abeb378b69ff/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Oval to spindle shaped cells
of endometrial stromal type
• Lack myometrial invasion
• Focal finger like projections
into the adjacent myometrium
• Lymphovascular invasion must
be absent.

• whorling around spiral arteriole-like vessels• Mitotic activity is usually low (up to 5 per 10 hpf)
![Page 6: Endometrial stromal tumours revisited](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58a0e0231a28abeb378b69ff/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Its also demonstrate diverse morphological
variations, which include • smooth muscle,• skeletal muscle and• sex-cord stromal differentiation• hyalinisation, • collagen plaques, foamy macrophages and
cholesterol clefts.

• On curettage specimens, the identification of
aglandular stromal fragments ≥5 mm in size
should raise suspicion of an underlying EST.
• t(7,17) resulting in the JAZF1-SUZ12 fusion is the
most common.
• D/Ds:
a) low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma
b) cellular leiomyomas

Low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma• Second most common malignant mesenchymal tumour of the uterus• Perimenopausal period• Vaginal bleeding or pelvic pain• Often occurs in association with endometriosis• Slow growing tumour with an indolent clinical
course• Relapse rates upto 56% have been reported
![Page 9: Endometrial stromal tumours revisited](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58a0e0231a28abeb378b69ff/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Submucosal or intramural• ‘wormlike’ permeation within the myometrium and parametrial tissue.• Fleshy tan to yellow• Cut surface may show trabeculated or cystic appearance.

• Positive for CD10, ER and PR.
• Adding h-Caldesmon is often helpful
• Foci of sex-cord differentiation stain with
1)calretinin,
2) inhibin,
3 )WT1,
4)Melan-A
5)CD99.

Chromosomal rearrangements in LGESS• Most common : t(7;17)(p15;q21), results in JAZF1-SUZ12 gene fusion.• JAZF1-PHF1 • EPC1-PHF1, • MEAF6-PHF1• ZC3H7-BCOR 62 and• MBTD1-CXorf67

of round cells in a vaguely nested or pseudoglandular pattern.

Undifferentiated uterine sarcoma• ‘undifferentiated endometrial sarcoma’ is an older

HGESS.
• complex karyotypes and genomic gains and losses
but lacking specific translocations.

Take home messages
• Endometrial stromal tumours are rare uterine
mesenchymal neoplasms that may mimic a
variety of other uterine tumours.
• The WHO classification system now recognizes
four tumour categories with a clear distinction
between low-grade and high-grade endometrial
stromal sarcomas.
