Abstract EN
Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors (UTROSCT) are rare uterine neoplasms.
These tumors are usually benign, displaying a nodular or polypoid growth pattern; common occurrence is observed at the 4th to 6th decade of life.
This entity is divided according to clinical behavior and pathological typical findings including different immunohistochemical staining.
Traditionally type I tumors show a predominant endometrial stromal pattern with less than 50% ovarian sex cord component.
This type has been shown to behave more aggressively with a decreased disease free survival period.
Type II tumors, the classical UTROSCT, are less invasive but have the tendency to recur.
We report a case of a 57-year-old patient presenting with postmenopausal bleeding.
Hysteroscopic polypectomy showed the diagnosis of UTROSCT.
This case presents a less morbid minimally invasive treatment plan and exemplifies that in patients where low malignant potential exists and their will is taken into consideration such management is both crucial and correct.
