NCIt definition : A category of benign or malignant mesenchymal neoplasms that arises from the uterine
corpus. This category includes the endometrial stromal nodule which is benign and
non-invasive, the endometrial stromal sarcoma, and the undifferentiated uterine sarcoma.
The endometrial stromal sarcoma is an invasive malignant neoplasm, further subdivided
into low grade and high grade endometrial stromal sarcoma. Undifferentiated uterine
sarcoma was previously also known as high grade endometrial stromal sarcoma. In 2014,
high grade endometrial stromal sarcoma was reclassified and is currently considered
a distinct and rare neoplasm. It appears to have a prognosis that falls between low
grade endometrial stromal sarcoma and undifferentiated sarcoma.;
