Uterine cellular stromal infiltration. A diagnostic problem

Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand. 1981;60(3):305-7. doi: 10.3109/00016348109158136.

Abstract

Extreme pleomorphic stromal cellular infiltration of the cervix and the corpus uteri was demonstrated by curettage in a 29-year-old woman with menorrhagia. The histological classification was not decisive and a hysterectomy was performed. The histological picture may be compatible with a malignant disease such as a stromal sarcoma or a lymphoma of Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin type, or with an inflammatory or immunologic disease. The clinical course, however, indicates a benign disease.
