Diagnostic value of dual-energy CT and clinicopathological and imaging feature analysis of mixed endometrial stromal and smooth muscle tumors with intracardiac extension. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:917399.

Abstract
Objective To describe the clinicopathological and imaging features of mixed endometrial stromal and smooth muscle tumors with intracardiac extension and to explore the diagnostic value of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for this rare entity. Materials and methods This retrospective study analyzed the clinicopathological data and images of a 41-year-old female patient with pathologically documented mixed endometrial stromal and smooth muscle tumors with intracardiac extension who had undergone DECT examination. Seven virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) in 10-kiloelectron volt (keV) intervals (range = 40–100 keV), iodine density (ID) maps, and Z effective (Zeff) maps were reconstructed, and lesion conspicuity was assessed. Tumor homology was analyzed using quantitative DECT parameters and energy spectrum attenuation curve. Results The patient complained of a 10-day history of bilateral lower extremity edema. Computed tomography showed a hypoattenuating filling defect located within the paracervical vein that extended into the right atrium to the ventricle through the right iliac veins and inferior vena cava (IVC). Intracardiac and intravenous lesions mainly demonstrated moderate progressive enhancement, with localized non-enhancing necrotic areas on contrast-enhanced CT. Multiple nodules showing progressive enhancement (long-T1 signal, long-T2 signal) were observed at the fundus of the uterus on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which were deemed the primary lesions of the tumor. Overall, the tumor was characterized by a small primary lesion with extensive vascular extension. In addition, the 40 keV VMIs reconstructions were found to provide best visualization for the early detection of tumors. Conclusion Although a definitive diagnosis of MESSMT with intracardiac extension requires confirmation by histopathological examination, imaging examination can be used to characterize the extent of the lesion. The dual-energy dataset facilitates tumor visualization and homology evaluation.

Abstract
Endometrial stromal tumors are rare uterine tumors (<1%). Four main categories include endometrial stromal nodule, low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS), high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (HG-ESS), and uterine undifferentiated sarcoma (UUS). This review is a series of articles discussing the uterine sarcomas. LG-ESS, a hormone-dependent tumor harboring chromosomal rearrangement, is an indolent tumor with a favorable prognosis, but characterized by late recurrences even in patients with Stage I disease, suggesting the requirement of a long-term follow-up. Patients with HG-ESS, based on the identification of YWHAE-NUTM2A/B (YWHAE-FAM22A/B) gene fusion, typically present with advanced stage diseases and frequently have recurrences, usually within a few years after initial surgery. UUS is, a high-grade sarcoma, extremely rare, lacking a specific line of differentiation, which is a diagnosis of exclusion (the wastebasket category, which fails to fulfill the morphological and immunohistochemical criteria of translocation-positive ESS). Surgery is the main strategy in the management of uterine sarcoma. Due to rarity, complex biological characteristics, and unknown etiology and risk factors of uterine sarcomas, the role of adjuvant therapy is not clear. Only LG-ESS might respond to progestins or aromatase inhibitors.

Abstract
Uterine sarcomas account for 3-7% of all uterine cancers. Because of their rarity, unknown etiology, and highly divergent genetic aberration, there is a lack of consensus on risk factors for occurrence and predictive poor outcomes as well as optimal therapeutic choices. Tumor types according to the World Health Organization classification include leiomyosarcoma, endometrial stroma sarcoma, and undifferentiated sarcoma. Staging is done using the 2014 Federation International Gynecology and Obstetrics and 2010 American Joint Committee on Cancer tumor, lymph node, and metastases systems. Tumor grade can be classified based on the French Federation of Cancer Centers Sarcoma Group system or the Broder's system that incorporates tumor differentiation, mitotic count, and tumor necrosis. This review is a series of articles discussing uterine sarcoma, and this is Part I, which focuses on one of the subtypes of uterine sarcomas-uterine leiomyosarcoma. The clinical characteristics, diagnosis, outcome, and recent advances are summarized in this article.
