title: Mixed stromal and smooth muscle tumours of the uterus: a report of two cases.
abstract: Mixed stromal and smooth muscle uterine tumours, defined as those containing at least 30% of each component as seen by routine light microscopy, are rare. This report describes the morphological features of two such tumours diagnosed in 44-year-old and 50-year-old females complaining from recurrent uterine bleeding that was unresponsive to medical treatment. Morphological and immunohistochemical evaluations were performed, and a final diagnosis of mixed endometrial stromal nodule and smooth muscle tumour of the uterus was rendered in both cases.
