Abstract
A case of alveolar soft part sarcoma of the uterus is described. it pr esented as intermenstrual bleeding in a 47-year-old woman. This is a r are tumor, forming about 1% of soft tissue sarcomas. Several hundred c ases have been described, mostly arising in the limbs. We believe this to be the 3rd case reported in the uterus and the 12th in the female genital tract. The other reported cases are reviewed, and further info rmation about their outcome has been obtained from the authors. (C) 19 94 Academic Press, Inc.
