ABSTRACT
Endometrial stromal sarcoma [ESS] is a rare malignant tumour of the endometrium. Usually occurs in perimenopausal women between the age group of 40-50 years. Patients come with symptoms similar to uterine leiomyoma, abnormal vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain, some patients may be asymptomatic. There is a high chance of it to be mistaken for leiomyoma clinically. Although rare, ESS should be kept in mind in women presenting with bulky uterus. A definitive diagnosis can only be made on histopathology. Surgery and postoperative radiotherapy is the most effective treatment.
Key words: Endometrial stromal sarcoma [ESS], malignant tumour, endometrium.
