Current Concepts in the Imaging of Uterine Sarcomas

Abstract

Uterine sarcomas are a group of rare uterine tumors comprised of multiple subtypes with different histologic characteristics, prognoses, and imaging appearances. Identification of uterine sarcomas and their differentiation from benign uterine disease on imaging is of critical importance for treatment planning to guide appropriate management and optimize patient outcomes. Herein, we review the spectrum of uterine sarcomas with a focus on the classification of primary sarcoma subtypes and presenting the typical MR imaging appearances.
