Preoperative differential diagnosis of uterine sarcoma and uterine myoma / 中国实用妇科与产科杂志

ABSTRACT

Uterine sarcoma is a rare uterine malignant tumor characterized by extremely aggressive behavior with a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. It remains very challenging to distinguish uterine sarcomas from uterine fibroids prior to surgery because of the similar clinical manifestations and the lack of specific imaging features and tumor markers. An integrated analysis algorism including risk factors,symptoms,imaging analysis(pelvic ultrasound and MRI),and endometrial biopsy is helpful for the preoperative differential diagnosis between uterine sarcomas and uterine leiomyomas.
