[Morphological and clinical evaluation of non-epithelial and mixed neoplasms of the female reproductive organs. II. Leiomyosarcoma]
Abstract
Among 12886 malignant neoplasms of female sex organ 34 leiomyosarcoma were found. Average age of suffering women was 50 years. Metrorrhagia and lower abdominal pain were most common symptoms reported. Surgical treatment was supplemented with radiotherapy. Significant impact on prognosis showed: number of mitoses, number of bizarre and giant cells, massive necrosis and hyalinization. Efficient early diagnosis these neoplasms still awaits improvement.
