AB  - Malignant  tumors  of  the  uterine  corpus  are  broadly  divided  into  carcinomas  and  sarcomas.  Although  sarcomas  are  rarely  encountered,  they  tend  to  behave  more  aggressively  and  contribute  to  a  disproportionately  higher  number  of  uterine  cancer  deaths.  Pure  sarcomas  differentiate  toward  smooth  muscle  (leiomyosarcoma)  or  toward  endometrial  stroma  (endometrial  stromal  tumors).  In  general,  uterine  sarcomas  grow  quickly,  hematogenous  or  lymphatic  spread  occurs  early,  and  the  overall  prognosis  is  poor.  However,  there  are  several  notable  exceptions  among  these  tumors.
