===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.
 
DDx:
*[[Leiomyoma]].
*[[Endometrial stromal nodule]].
*[[Uterine leiomyosarcoma]].
