title: Excellent results of postoperative radiotherapy for endometrial stromal sarcoma of low-grade malignancy.
abstract: Endometrial stromal sarcoma of low-grade malignancy (ESSL) is a rare neoplasm, and neither preoperative diagnostic procedures nor standard therapy have yet been established. We treated 3 cases of ESSL in the past 27 years, and we report here one of these cases that was classified as stage III (according to the FIGO classification of endometrial carcinoma). Postoperative radiotherapy was used to treat a residual tumor, and the patient showed a complete response.
