Uterine cancer. Light micrograph (LM) of a section of a sarcoma of the uterus. Sarcomas of the uterus are uncommon, and may arise from connective tissue, smooth muscle or the endometrial stroma. Uterine sarcoma is a rare form of malignancy, occurring in 25% of all patients with uterine malignancy. Surgery is used to diagnose, stage, and treat uterine sarcoma. The prognosis for women with uterine sarcoma is primarily dependent on the extent of disease at the time of diagnosis. Characteristically uniform oval and spindle-shaped cells are seen.
