Abstract:
Uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex-cord tumor (UTROSCT) were first described by Clemen and Scully in 1976. They are a heterogenous group of uterine neoplasm characterised by pure or predominant histological patterns that resembled sex cord tumors of ovary. Clemen and Scully divide the tumors into two groups according to sex-cord-like structures within tumors (the so-called group I tumors with 50% of sex-cord elements, the so-called group II tumors with almost completely sex-cord-like structures). The histogensis of the sex-cord-like elements is uncertain, the group I tumor appears to be more malignant. We experienced a case of UTROSCT in a 44 years old woman underwent LAVH under tantative diagnosis of uterine myoma and report the case with brief review of literature.
