Differentiation of uterine low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma from rare leiomyoma variants by magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract The purpose of this study is to evaluate utility of MRI in differentiation of uterine low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) from rare leiomyoma variants. This multi-center retrospective study included consecutive 25 patients with uterine LGESS and 42 patients with rare leiomyoma var...
