Endometrial stromal sarcoma, abbreviated ESS, is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumour of the uterus.

Endometrial stromal sarcoma
Diagnosis in short

Endometrial stromal sarcoma. H&E stain.
LM highly cellular islands of (tumour) cells with a wavy irregular border -- benign uterine smooth muscle between; tumour cells: high NC ratio and epithelioid, pallisade around thin blood vessels within the tumour
LM DDx leiomyoma (cellular), endometrial stromal nodule, uterine leiomyosarcoma, uterine tumour resembling an ovarian sex cord stromal tumour
IHC CD10 +ve, H-caldesmin -ve, PR +/-ve, ER +/-ve
Molecular t(7;17)
Site uterus - see uterine tumours
Prevalence rare
Prognosis good
Clin. DDx other uterine tumours

It is also known as low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma, abbreviated LGESS.

General

  • Uncommon.[1]
  • Prognosis good[2] > 90% five year survival and > 85% ten year survival.[3]

Note:

  • Extrauterine endometrial stromal sarcoma is known as endometrioid stromal sarcoma.[4]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Highly cellular islands with a wavy irregular border.
    • Border has finger-like projections/tongue-like projections.
    • Benign uterine smooth muscle between islands of tumour cells.
  • Epithelioid cells.
  • High NC ratio.
  • Thin blood vessels within islands of cells.
    • Tumour cells pallisade around the vessels.

Notes:

  • Vaguely resembles the stroma of proliferative endometrium.
  • Low mitotic rate - predictive of good outcome.[2]

IHC

Features:[6]

  • CD10 +ve.
  • H-caldesmin -ve.
  • PR +/-ve.
  • ER +/-ve.
  • CD117 +ve (~80%).[7]

Molecular

May be associated a recurrent translocation:[8]

  • t(7;17)(p15;q21).
    • JAZF1 - chromosome 7.[9]
    • SUZ12 - chromosome 17.[10]
