Uterine tumours are like water in the sea - very very common.  Many hysterectomies are done for them. The most common are leiomyomata ([[AKA]] fibroids).


==Leiomyomas==
Pre-malignant [[endometrium]] and endometrial tumours are dealt with in the articles, ''[[endometrial hyperplasia]]'' and ''[[endometrial carcinoma]]''.
===General===
*Often called "fibroids".
*Extremely common... 40% of women by age 40.
*Benign.
**Can be a cause of [[AUB]] (abnormal uterine bleeding).
**Large & multiple associated with infertility.


====Variants====
=Common benign=
*Lipoleiomyoma - with adipose tissue.
==Uterine leiomyoma==
**Image: [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lipoleiomyoma1.jpg Lipoleiomyoma - low mag. (WC)].
*Often called ''fibroids''.
*Hypercellular leiomyoma - hypercellularity assoc. with more mutations.<ref>[http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/119360394/abstract http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/119360394/abstract]</ref>

This article deals with uterine tumours, with the exception of the tumours that arise from the endometrium.

Uterine tumours are like water in the sea - very very common. Many hysterectomies are done for them. The most common are leiomyomata (AKA fibroids).

Pre-malignant endometrium and endometrial tumours are dealt with in the articles, endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma.

Common benign

Uterine leiomyoma

  • Often called fibroids.
Main article: Uterine leiomyoma

Uncommon benign

Uterine adenofibroma

General

  • Uncommmon.
  • Benign looking lesions can reoccur.[1]
    • It has been proposed that these lesions are in fact well-differentiated adenosarcomas.[2]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Moderately demarcated lesion with:
    • Pale stroma and epithelioid/spindle cells.
    • Simple cuboidal (or columnar) epithelium with eosinophilic cytoplasm.
  • Low mitotic rate.
  • Nuclear atypia minimal.

Note:

DDx:

  • Adenosarcoma.

Images:

Adenomatoid tumour

Should not be confused with the bone tumour adamantinoma.
Main article: Adenomatoid tumour

Uncertain malignant potential

Smooth muscle tumour of uncertain malignant potential

  • Abbreviated STUMP.
Main article: Smooth muscle tumour of uncertain malignant potential

Malignant

Uterine carcinosarcoma

  • AKA malignant mixed muellerian tumour, abbreviated MMMT.
Main article: Uterine carcinosarcoma

Adenosarcoma of the uterus

  • AKA uterine adenosarcoma.
Main article: Adenosarcoma of the uterus

Uterine leiomyosarcoma

Main article: Leiomyosarcoma

General

  • Poor prognosis.
  • Do not (generally) arise from leiomyomas.
  • Often singular, i.e. one tumour; unlike leiomyomas (which are often multiple).

Gross

Features:

  • "Fleshy" appearance.
  • Necrosis.
  • Large size.
  • Often singular, i.e. one lesion; leiomyomata are often multiple.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Smooth muscle differentiation - essential.
    • Fascicular architecture.
      • Whorled look at low power.
      • Groups of spindle cells cut peripendicular to their long axis adjacent to groups of spindle cells cut in the plane of their long axis.
    • May rely on IHC - if poorly differentiated.
  • Malignant histomorphologic features - two of three required - key features:[4]
    1. Nuclear pleomorphism.
    2. Coagulative tumour cell necrosis
      • Should be patchy/multifocal.
      • Zonal necrosis is suggestive of vascular cause and may be a degenerative change.
        • Zonal necrosis may be seen in (benign) leiomyomas.
    3. Mitoses.
      • 10 mitoses/10 HPF.
      • 5 mitoses/10 HPF - if epithelioid.
      • 2 mitoses/10 HPF - if myxoid.

Note:

  • The mitotic rate seems to be a relatively weak predictor; a modest rate may be malignant and a high rate benign.[5]

DDx:

IHC

  • CD10 -ve.
  • Positive for SMC markers.
    • Desmin - present in all three types of muscle.
    • Caldesmon.
    • Smooth muscle myosin.
  • p16 +ve.[6]
    • Useful for differentiation from leiomyoma.

Endometrial stromal tumours

This grouping includes the gamut from benign to malignant.

Overview

WHO classification:[7]

  • Endometrial stromal nodule - not a tumour.
  • Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS), low grade.
  • Undifferentiated endometrial sarcoma (UES).

Notes:

  • Some believe in a "high grade ESS"... some don't.[8]

Endometrial stromal nodule

  • Abbreviated ESN.

General

  • Benign.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Well-circumscribed - key feature.
    • The interface of the lesion may not have more than three finger-like irregularities/projections into the surround myometrium that are >= 3 mm.[9]
      • If it does... it is an ESS.
  • No vascular invasion.

DDx:

Images:

Endometrial stromal sarcoma

  • Abbreviated ESS.
  • Previously known as low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma.
Main article: Endometrial stromal sarcoma

Undifferentiated endometrial sarcoma

  • Abbreviated as UES.
  • Previously known as high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma.[10]

General

Microscopic

Features:

  1. Marked nuclear atypia.
  2. Mitoses+++.
  3. Poorly differentiated - key feature
    • Looks nothing like low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma.
    • Negative for smooth muscle markers (to exclude leiomyosarcoma).

Notes:

  • Need IHC to diagnose.

DDx:

IHC

Features:[11]

  • SMA ~50% +ve.

Typically negative:[11]

  • Smooth muscle markers: desmin, h-caldesmon.
  • Skeletal muscle markers: Myf4, actin.
  • Melanoma: S100, HMB-45.
  • GIST: CD117.

Weird stuff

Trophoblastic tumours

Uterine tumour resembling an ovarian sex cord stromal tumour

  • Abbreviated UTROSCT.
Main article: Uterine tumour resembling an ovarian sex cord stromal tumour

Atypical polypoid adenomyoma of the uterus

  • Abbreviated APA.
  • AKA atypical polypoid adenomyoma.
