Objectives: The objective of this literature review is to reiterate the epidemiology, clinical signs, and radiological signs that should be consistent with a uterine sarcoma as well as the precautionary pre- and postoperative principles that help prevent morcellation of uterine sarcomas when treating patients with uterine fibroids.

Method: We conducted this literature review by consulting the Pubmed, Medline, and Cochrane Systematic Review databases up to 28/02/2017 using the following keywords: fibroid, myoma, leiomyoma, sarcoma, leiosarcoma, uterine cancer, myomectomy, hysterectomy, morcellation, and uterine morcellation. We also used the reference lists of the selected articles to find more data on the websites of North-American and European learned societies that specialise in obstetrics and gynaecology.

Aim: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy was recently recommended after prior breast tumour surgery and lymphadenectomy is not the gold standard anymore for nodal staging after a lesion's removal. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the good practices of use of SLN biopsy in this context.

Patients And Methods: From 2006 to 2012, 138 patients having undergone a surgical biopsy without prior diagnosis of an invasive carcinoma with a definitive histological analysis in favour of this diagnosis were included in a prospective observational multicentric study.
