This article is an overview of uterine neoplasms that demonstrate mesenchymal differentiation. Major clinical and pathologic features are described, with a focus on those lesions that cause diagnostic difficulty. Brief discussions on more recent observations made concerning these entities are also included.

Historical aspects of dilatation and curettage are discussed and the indications reviewed for this procedure in three major age-groups: (1) childhood and adolescence, (2) maturity and reproductive period, (3) menopause and post-menopause. As the most frequently performed obstetrical and gynecological procedure, it is not an innocuous operation, and clear-cut indications for its use are presented with reference to abnormal vaginal bleeding in all age groups, infertility, functional ovarian tumours, neoplasia of the uterus, cervical biopsy, and major pelvic surgery. It is concluded that dilatation and curettage has a major place in the diagnostic and the therapeutic armamentarium of the thorough obstetrician and gynecologist.

Clinical and morphological findings in four patients with mixed mullerian tumors of the uterus showed, that these highly aggressive neoplasms are derived from the undifferentiated mullerian epithelium. Immunohistochemically, each component exhibits characteristic differentiation markers. The presence of cytokeratins or desmin signals an epithelial viz. rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation, whilst the detection of vimentin in the absence of other markers demonstrates an undifferentiated mesenchymal component. This component appears to be responsible for the aggressive biological behavior of mixed mullerian tumors.
