A case of a primarily extra-uterine low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma is described. The patients clinical course, including various surgical, chemotherapeutical and hormonal therapies, is outlined and discussed. Transition from benign endometriosis to clinically malignant endometrial stromal sarcoma is illustrated by microscopy and DNA flow cytometry. A change in nuclear DNA content is demonstrated. This is possibly a useful aid in identifying the malignant potential of this tumor with such a misleading microscopic appearance.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
