Pure heterologous sarcoma of mixed type of the uterine corpus in a postmenopausal patient: a case report.
A case of a pure heterologous sarcoma of mixed type (pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma and chondrosarcoma) localized in the uterine corpus of a 75-year-old woman is presented. The tumor was investigated by routine morphologic methods, immunohistochemically, and on ultrastructural level. The histogenesis of the tumor and the problems of differential diagnosis with other tumors of the same localization are under discussion.
