Abstract

Uterine sarcomas (US) are relatively rare malignant tumor of the uterine mesenchymal tumor. The present study evaluated the outcomes of patients with different types of uterine sarcoma in Iranian women during a 5-years survey. During 2014-2019, a case series of twenty-three patients of US (four cases of leiomyosarcoma (LMS), nine cases of endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS), seven cases of carcinosarcoma (CS), and three cases of adenosarcoma (AS)) were studied. One case of AS needed adjuvant radiotherapy and a recurrence was occurred in this case four years later. Two cases of CS have died during study period. All of ESS cases were alive by the study duration. One case who did not receive radio/chemotherapy experienced a bronchial recurrence after 8-years of ESS diagnosis Immunohistochemistry test on tumoral cells of three patients for vimentin+Ki67, BCL2+CD64+Ki67, ER+PR+WT1+Ki67 expressions were 30%, 30%, 15% respectively. Two cases of CS died during the study period. Even with multimodalities of treatment, the prognosis of uterine sarcoma is still poor and early diagnosis seems to improve the prognosis of the patients.
