Undifferentiated uterine sarcoma is a type of cancer in the main body of the uterus.[2] It typically presents with abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, and mass of the uterus in females after menopause.[1]
It is a subtype of endometrial stromal tumor belonging to the mesenchymal tumors of the main body of the uterus.[1] The appearance of the cells is identical to normal endometrial stromal cells.[1] The cause is not known.[1] It generally occurs in the main body of the uterus rather the cervix.[1] Diagnosis is made after excluding other types of uterine tumors.[1]
It is rare.[1]
