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.
Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the added value of one-view breast tomosynthesis in adjunct with mammography to characterize breast lesions.
Materials And Methods: Our institutional ethics committees approved the study and granted a waiver of informed consent. One hundred fifty-five women (mean age, 51.
Imaging is today crucial for patient management not only thanks to its high sensibility to detect uterine carcinoma (endovaginal ultrasonography for endometrial carcinoma) but also for local staging using pelvic MR imaging (until 2009 recommended by FIGO for both endometrial and cervical carcinoma) and for the evaluation of treatment response under radiochemotherapy especially for cervical carcinoma (using MR imaging and PET-CT).

Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: University hospital, France.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how effectively MRI can distinguish between malignant and benign myometrial tumors by analyzing data from 51 women who underwent MRI before surgery.
- Key criteria for predicting malignancy included high b 1,000 signal intensity, patient age, and the presence of intra-tumoral hemorrhage, resulting in a model that correctly classified 92.4% of tumors.
- The findings suggest that combining various MRI features can improve diagnosis accuracy in routine clinical practice, particularly factoring in patient age when assessing solitary tumors.
