This systematic review assessed the accuracy of ultrasound (US) in the differential diagnosis between uterine leiomyomas and sarcomas. 972 women, 694 with uterine leiomyomas and 278 with uterine sarcomas, were included.
Uterine sarcomas represent 1% of female ge***al tract malignancies and 3- 7% of uterine malignances. Overall, they are very aggressive tumors with a poor prognosis.
US seems to have only a moderate diagnostic accuracy (area under the curve 0.89) in the differential diagnosis between uterine leiomyomas and sarcomas, with a lower sensitivity (76%) than specificity (89%).
