This article deals with uterine tumours, with the exception of the tumours that arise from the endometrium.

Uterine tumours are like water in the sea - very very common. Many hysterectomies are done for them. The most common are leiomyomata (AKA fibroids).

Pre-malignant endometrium and endometrial tumours are dealt with in the articles, endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma.

Common benign

Uterine leiomyoma

Main article: Leiomyoma
  • Often called "fibroids".

General

  • Extremely common... 40% of women by age 40.
  • Benign.
    • Can be a cause of abnormal uterine bleeding (commonly abbreviated AUB).
  • Large & multiple associated with infertility.

Gross

Feature:

  • Sharply circumscribed.
  • Gray-white.
  • Whorled appearance.

Factor that raise concern for leiomyosarcoma:

  • Haemorrhage.
  • Cystic degeneration.
  • Necrosis.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Spindle cells arranged in fascicles.
    • Fascicular appearance: adjacent groups of cells have their long axis perpendicular to one another; looks somewhat like a braided hair that was cut.
  • Whorled arrangement of cells.

Negatives:

  • Necrosis (low power) - suggestive of leiomyosarcoma.
  • Hypercellularity.
  • Nuclear atypia seen at low power.
  • Few mitoses.

Images:

Variants

  • Lipoleiomyoma - with adipose tissue.
  • Hypercellular leiomyoma - hypercellularity associated with more mutations.[1]
  • Atypical leiomyoma (AKA symplastic leiomyoma) - leiomyoma with nuclear atypia.
  • Benign metastasizing leiomyoma.[2]
    • This is just what it sounds like. Some believe these are low grade leiomyosarcomas.

IHC

Work-up of suspicious leiomyomas:[3]

  • CD10 +ve.[4]
  • SMA +ve.
  • Desmin +ve.
  • Ki-67 -ve.

Others:

  • p16 usually -ve.[5]
    • Often +ve in leiomyosarcoma.
  • H-caldesmon +ve.[4]

Sign out

UTERUS, UTERINE TUBES AND LEFT OVARY, TOTAL HYSTERECTOMY, BILATERAL SALPINGECTOMY AND RIGHT OOPHRECTOMY:
- LEIOMYOMATA WITH FOCAL CALCIFICATION AND HYALINE CHANGE.
- SECRETORY PHASE ENDOMETRIUM.
- RIGHT OVARY WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
- UTERINE TUBES WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
- UTERINE CERVIX WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.

Myomectomy

UTERINE MASSES ("FIBROIDS"), MYOMECTOMY:
- LEIOMYOMATA.

Uncommon benign

Uterine adenofibroma

General

  • Uncommmon.
  • Benign looking lesions can reoccur.[6]
    • It has been proposed that these lesions are in fact well-differentiated adenosarcomas.[7]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Moderately demarcated lesion with:
    • Pale stroma and epithelioid/spindle cells.
    • Simple cuboidal (or columnar) epithelium with eosinophilic cytoplasm.
  • Low mitotic rate.
  • Nuclear atypia minimal.

Note:

DDx:

  • Adenosarcoma.

Images:

Adenomatoid tumour

Should not be confused with Adamantinoma - a bone tumour.

General

  • Grossly mimics leiomyoma.[8]
  • Benign tumour - derived from mesothelium.
  • May be seen paratesticular.[9]

Microscopic

Features:[10]

  • Well-circumscribed lesion; however, not encapsulated.
  • Small tubulocystic spaces lined by cytologically normal mesothelium.
    • These pseudotubular spaces are crossed by "thread-like bridging strands" - key feature.[11][12]

Images:

DDx:

IHC

Features:[13]

  • Calretinin +ve.
  • AE1/AE3 +ve.
  • CD31 -ve.
  • CK7 +ve.[14]

Uncertain malignant potential

Smooth muscle tumour of uncertain malignant potential

  • Abbreviated STUMP.

General

  • Like ASAP and ASCUS - a waffle category... when one isn't sure it is a leiomyoma vs. leiomyosarcoma.
  • Clinical behaviour: usually benign.[15]
  • Can be subclassified into four groups - as per Stanford.

Management:

  • Long-term follow-up.[15]

Microscopic

Features associated with recurrence:[15]

  • Nuclear atypia.

DDx:

IHC

Features associated with recurrence:[15]

  • p16 +ve.
  • p53 +ve.

Malignant

Uterine carcinosarcoma

  • AKA malignant mixed muellerian tumour, abbreviated MMMT.

General

  • Associated with previous radiation exposure.
  • Metstasize as adenocarcinoma.
  • Aggressive/poor prognosis;[16] in one series 5 year survival ~= 30-35%.[17]
  • Considered to be a poorly differentiated endometrial carcinoma with metaplastic changes.[18]
  • Case reports of MMMT in ovary and fallopian tube.

Microscopic

Features:[19]

DDx:

Adenosarcoma of the uterus

  • AKA uterine adenocarcinoma.

General

Features:[20]

  • Uncommon.
  • May prolapse through cervical os and thus present as cervical polyp.
  • Most commonly uterine corpus, occasionally cervix and ovary, rarely in the vagina, fallopian tube, peritoneal surfaces, intestine.
  • Typically 30-40 years old.

Clinical:[21]

  • Most common presentations of Müllerian adenosarcoma (percentages based on series of 41 individuals[22]):
    • Vaginal bleeding ~ 70%.
    • Pelvic mass ~ 40%.
    • Uterine polyp ~ 30%.
  • Prognosis (based on series of ~500 individuals[23]):
    • Favourable outcome - most detected at an early stage.
      • ~80% five year survival for stage I tumours.
    • Outcome better than carcinosarcoma.

Treatment:

  • TAH-BSO.
    • Tumours are estrogen responsive.
  • Chemotherapy (platin-based).[22]

Microscopic

Features:[24][20]

  • "Malignant stroma" - key feature.
    • Stromal nuclear pleomorphism - usually low grade.
    • WHO criteria: 2+ mitoses / 10 HPF -- definition suffers from HPFitis.
      • Mitotic rate criteria often ignored as mitotically inactive tumours metastasize.[20]
  • Benign glands with an abnormal shape.
  • "Cambium layer" = increased cellularity around the epithelial elements.[20][25]

Notes:

DDx:

Images:

IHC

  • CD10 +ve.[20]
  • ER +ve.
  • PR +ve.

Uterine leiomyosarcoma

Gross

Features:

  • "Fleshy" appearance.
  • Necrosis.
  • Large size.
  • Often singular, i.e. one lesion; leiomyomata are often multiple.

  • Malignant histomorphologic features - two of three required - key features:[26]
    1. Nuclear pleomorphism.
    2. Coagulative tumour cell necrosis
      • Should be patchy/multifocal.
      • Zonal necrosis is suggestive of vascular cause and may be a degenerative change.
