Index
Uterine sarcomas arise from the division of cell populations in the myometrium or elements of connective tissue within the endometrium.
Compared with the most common endometrial carcinomas (epithelial neoplasms), uterine sarcomas, particularly leiomyosarcomas (connective tissue neoplasms), behave aggressively and have a worse prognosis.
