Abstract

Mixed endometrial stromal and smooth-muscle tumor is one of the uncommon forms of uterine sarcoma. Only a few cases of endometrial stromal tumors showing smooth muscle differentiation have been reported in the literature. We experienced a case of low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma with smooth muscle differentiation in a 44-year-old woman, so we report this case with brief review of literatures.
