ABSTRACT
Uterine sarcomas form an heterogenous group of mesenchymal tumors. This group includes leiomyosarcomas, atypical smooth muscle tumors, endometrial stromal sarcomas, adenosarcoma and carcinosarcoma. All these tumors have a worse prognosis when compared to that of endometrial carcinoma. In most cases the clinical features are not specific. Imaging, and MRI in particular plays a great, and developing role in diagnosing these malignancies. The final diagnosis is reached through pathological examination. In this work, we report a series of 8 cases of patients presenting to the department of gynecology and obstetrics, Mohammed VI university hospital, Oujda, for management of uterine sarcomas. We also discuss, through a review of literature, different clinical, imaging, pathological, of different entities.
