Popis: Endometrial stromal tumor with sex cord- like elements (ESTSCLE) is a rare entity which shares similar histological features with uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors (UTROSCT). Differentiating the two entities involves ample sampling of the tissue to distinguish the percentage of sex- cord components within the tissue, genetic studies and immunohistochemical staining. Frozen section provides limited information for exclusion of either tumor; and the tumor is rare enough that the diagnosis may not be considered with the limited sampling; therefore deferral of diagnosis to permanent sections may be appropriate.
