Abstract: Background Uterine smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) is a group of uterine smooth muscle tumors which cannot be classified as a subtype of leiomyoma or leiomyosarcoma. Diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of these tumors are challenging due to recurrence, potential of malignancy, and metastasis. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted in southern Iran during 2011 to 2020. We included records of 21 patients with … Show more

“…This paper presents a 49-year-old woman with STUMP with non-specific symptoms, such as abdominal pain, pelvic pressure, abnormal uterine bleeding, and anemia ( 17 ). She had non-specific symptoms and belonged to an age group in which STUMP and LMS mostly occur ( 18 ). Our Clinical Center’s diagnostic imaging protocol for uterine tumors includes ultrasonography, MDCT, and MRI.…”

“…Morcellated tumors can often be overdiagnosed or underdiagnosed by the pathologist because of the limitations of histological evaluation ( 26 ). Because of those limitations and the lack of exact pathological criteria, the combination of IHC and clinicopathological findings can be more helpful in determining the final diagnosis and risk of recurrence in STUMP ( 18 ).…”
