Uterine sarcomas in Israeli patients: a clinicopathological study

: Reassessment of the pathological slides of 31 Israeli patients confirmed the initial diagnosis of uterine sarcoma in 28 cases. The review diagnosis of the histological subcategory was not always identical with the original one. The most common tumor (32.1%) was mixed heterologous sarcoma. Abnormal bleeding was the most common symptom and a presumed myomatous uterus the most common clinical finding. Although almost half the patients were diagnosed in Stage I, the overall survival was 26%. Survival was influenced by both the stage at diagnosis and the histological category.
