Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors (UTROSCT) are distinguished into two separate groups: endometrial stromal tumors with sex cord-like elements (Group I), which have an unfavorable prognosis; and UTROSCT proper (group II), with more than 40% sex cord-like differentiation and less endometrial component, which are biologically less aggressive than the tumors of the other group. We report the case of a young woman with UTROSCT treated by minimally invasive hysteroscopic surgery. This is one of the few cases reported in the literature that have been managed conservatively.

Abstract

Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors (UTROSCT) are distinguished into two separate groups: endometrial stromal tumors with sex cord-like elements (Group I), which have an unfavorable prognosis; and UTROSCT proper (group II), with more than 40% sex cord-like differentiation and less endometrial component, which are biologically less aggressive than the tumors of the other group. We report the case of a young woman with UTROSCT treated by minimally invasive hysteroscopic surgery. This is one of the few cases reported in the literature that have been managed conservatively.
