title: [Echographic characteristics of uterine sarcomas].
abstract: Sonographic potentials in the diagnosis of uterine sarcomas have been evaluated. Sarcomas were identified in 9 patients. Their populational incidence was 0.67:100,000. Specific sonographic signs of this disease were absent. The most characteristic presentation of uterine sarcomas were an anecho enic area in the myomatous node in the absence of acoustic effects of dorsal accentuation, appearance of cystic degeneration of the tumor, and a marked uterine enlargement during a follow up. It is suggested that these criteria may provide a diagnosis accuracy in a number of cases.
