Abstract:
Objective To explore the types, clinical pathologic and immunohistochemical features of spindle cell tumors of the uterine and broad ligament. Methods Clinical pathological files of spindle cell tumors in the uterine and broad ligament from 2007.12 to 2015.12 were reviewed. Results The primary sites of the 145 cases was cervical in 11 cases (7.58%), uterine body in 119 cases (82.07%), the broad ligament in 12 cases (8.28%), and uterine or cervix and the abdominal wall in 3 case (2.07%). Histopathological types of the 145 cases was smooth muscle origin in 126 cases (86.90%), of which 120 cases had benign leiomyoma, 3 cases had uncertain malignant potential and 3 cases had leiomyosarcoma;endometrial stromal origin in 15 cases (10.34%), including endometrial stromal nodule (5 cases), endometrial stromal sarcoma (10 cases); endometrial stromal- variant (3 cases, 2.07%), including endometrial stromal nodule associated with smooth muscle differentiation (2 cases), endometrial stromal sarcoma associated with smooth muscle differentiation (1 case); gastrointestinal stromal tumor (1 case, 0.68%). Conclusions Origin of spindle cell tumors of the uterine and broad ligament is mainly smooth muscle, endometrial stromal origin, and endometrial stromal tumor variants, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors in rare cases. We need to combine the clinical site, pathological morphology and immunohistochemistry for diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
