ABSTRACT
Endometrial stromal tumors (EST) arise from stromal component of endometrium and are rare and common in peri or postmenopausal age group. EST are partially estrogen dependent tumors and their histopathology resemble the stromal cells of normal proliferative endometrium. They present in varied forms pathologically ranging from most begin to most mligrant variants. Diagnosis essentially is by histopathology and prognosis is based on the mitotic activity of the tumor. We have presented here a case of EST presenting in a young nulliparous woman.
ABSTRACT
La asociación de tumor epitelial y estromal maligno es muy infrecuente, habiendo pocos casos reportados, más infrecuente aún es la asociación de tumor epitelial maligno y tumor estromal benigno. Se presenta el caso de mujer de 65 años con diagnóstico preoperatorio de carcinoma endometrial, que durante el procesamiento de la pieza quirúrgica se encontró además una lesión intramural nodular estromal benigna, sin continuidad entre ambas lesiones.
The association of epithelial and stromal malignant neoplasm is very rare, with few reported cases, rarer still is the prescence of malignant epithelial tumor and stromal benign tumor. We present the case of women aged 65 with preoperative diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma, which in the pathological examination was found an intramural benign endometrial stromal lesión, without continuity between both tumors.
