Validating the diagnostic accuracy of an MRI-based scoring system for differentiating benign uterine leiomyomas from leiomyosarcomas.

Objective: Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign uterine tumors. They are difficult to distinguish from their malignant counterparts-smooth muscle tumors of unknown malignant potential (STUMP) and leiomyosarcoma. The purpose of this study is to propose and validate the diagnostic accuracy of the MRI-based Oman-Canada Scoring System of Myometrial Masses (OCSSMM) to differentiate uterine leiomyomas from STUMP/leiomyosarcomas.
