This study involved an analysis of 25 cases of sarcoma of the uterine body collected at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic of the Ibn Rochd CHU teaching hospital, Casablanca (Morocco) during a 15-year period (1977-1992). These are unusual malignant tumours (accounting for only 0.9% of uterine cancers) which occur after the menopause and have an appalling prognosis. Metrorrhagia was the most common alerting symptom. Presurgical diagnosis was difficult and uterine sarcoma was usually identified during surgery. The most common histological type encountered was leiomyosarcoma. Treatment was primarily surgical: total hysterectomy combined with bilateral appendectomy (20 cases), with radiotherapy (5 cases) or with adjuvant chemotherapy (1 case). Radiotherapy was the only treatment in 2 patients. The survival rate was low: 10% after 2 years, 5% after 5 years. Age, histological type, extent of the tumor and method of treatment were all recognised as prognostic factors. One interest of this work is to recall the existence and the severity of this pathology in those periods of endoscopic games and excessive conservative treatments.
