Abstract

 Endometrial stromal tumours (EST) are a type of uterine mesenchymal tumour which account for less than 10% of all uterine sarcoma and approximately 1 % of all uterine malignancies.

Endometrial stromal nodule (ESN) is the least common type of EST and it forms less than 0.25% of all EST. It should be carefully differentiated from other stromal sarcomas, which can change the final prognosis. We are presenting a patient with an interesting case of ESN who underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy.
 
Keywords: Endometrial Stromal Tumours; Endometrial Stromal Sarcomas; Endometrial Stromal Nodule; Sarcomas.
