Sarcoma of the uterus: a ten-year experience.

Nine cases of sarcoma of the uterus treated during the last ten years are reported. Histology showed three of these to be mixed Müllerian sarcomas, five leiomyosarcomas and one rhabdomyosarcoma. Difficulties in preoperative diagnosis and modes of therapy are discussed. The findings are correlated with those of other authors and ways to improve survival are stressed.

The second most common metastases are of gynecologic origin. This is the nineteenth well-documented case reported of a primary ovarian cancer with umbilical metastasis.
