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

It is also known as low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma

General

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.

IHC

Features:[3]

  • CD10 +ve.
  • H-caldesmin -ve.
  • PR +/-ve.
  • ER +/-ve.

Molecular

May be associated a recurrent translocation:[4]

  • t(7;17)(p15;q21).
    • JAZF1 - chromosome 7.[5]
    • SUZ12 - chromosome 17.[6]
