title: [Uterine sarcoma. Clinical and pathological study of 25 cases].
abstract: The study reports on the follow-up in 25 cases of uterine sarcoma from 1979 to 1988. 56% of them are leiomyosarcoma, 28% mixed mullerian tumors and 16% sarcoma of the endometrial stroma. The women affected are mostly 40 to 70 years old; 80% of them are pluriparae, in menopause for 64% of them at the time of the diagnosis. Metrorrhagia is the initial symptom in 72% of the cases, 76% of which diagnosed after surgical intervention. The majority of the surgical interventions are integrated with chemo and/or radiotherapy. After three years 66.6% are surviving at the first stage, 33.4% at the second stage, none at the third stage.
