Gynecol Oncol. 2000 Oct;79(1):120-3. doi: 10.1006/gyno.2000.5893.

Abstract

Objective: Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma is an uncommon, indolent uterine sarcoma that can arise in extrauterine locations. The objective of this study was to report on a previously unpublished site of origin for a low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma.

Methods: A case of a low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma arising in the ectocervix after goserelin hormonal therapy for breast cancer was studied.

Results: Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma can arise in the ectocervix even in the absence of endometriosis.

Conclusion: Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of sarcomas of the ectocervix.
