title: Chondrosarcoma of the uterus.
abstract: Chondrosarcoma of the uterus is a rare tumor. The clinical and pathological features of a recent case are presented and the histogenesis, treatment, and prognosis of the heterologous sarcomas are discussed. The authors favor the theory of totipotential endometrial stromal cells for the histogenesis, and suggest that radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy continue to be used in addition to total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
