Abstract
The most common benign mesenchymal tumor of the gynecologic tract is a leiomyoma, while the most frequent malignant mesenchymal neoplasms of this anatomic region in pediatric and adult patients are rhabdomyosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma, respectively. Because these entities are expertly covered elsewhere in this textbook, they are not discussed in this chapter. Instead, this section concentrates on the myriad of other less common mesenchymal processes that occasionally affect the female reproductive organs. We attempt to cover the better-documented and most relevant entities as comprehensively as space allows and include brief comments and/or references for rarer lesions. Supplemental data from the Tumor Registry of the former Armed Forces Institute of Pathology is included for selected topics. It is important to remember that some of the entities under discussion have only recently been recognized and remain works in progress. Readers are directed to standard soft tissue tumor texts for additional reading.
The views expressed in this chapter are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect official policy or position of the Joint Pathology Center, the Department of the Army/Navy/Air Force, the Department of Defense, or any other department or agency within the US Government.
