Abstract

Two cases of uterine malignant mesodermal tumors are presented: a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) and a case of endometrial stroma sarcoma (ESS). The patients were 51 and 28 years old, respectively. The former died shortly after diagnosis. The latter is still alive. The macroscopic and microscopic features, clinical findings and the operations are reported and discussed, along with a review of the literature.
