[Microscopic diagnosis of mixed and mesenchymal tumors of the mucosa and uterine body].

A series of 452 with 831 precancerous and tumorous lesions of the corpus uteri is presented. The series was obtained by analyzing the authors' own series of bioptic findings covering the period of two years. Some problems arising at the evaluation of proliferating myogenic and stromal precancerous and tumorous lesions are pointed out. "Classical" types of leiomyomas were found to be predominant, amounting to 78.5% of tumors recorded at the studied site. Of the total number of tumors of the corpus uteri, malignant tumors constituted only 8.5%. On evaluating the series of malignant tumors of the corpus uteri epithelial malignant tumors (94.3%) were overwhelmingly prevailing over sarcomatous tumors. Attention is called to problems of histological evaluation of prognosis of mesenchymal and mixed tumors. Literary data as well as the authors' own observations indicate the necessity of exact and particularly of differentiated histological evaluation of the described tumors.
