Endometrial Stromal Nodule

Leave a Comment
Endometrial stromal tumors are rare uterine tumors comprising 2 % of uterine tumors and occurs primarily in the 4th to 5th decades.The affected individual often presents with vaginal bleeding.

Stromal neoplasms are of three types---

endometrial stromal nodule: a benign tumor

low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma: malignant tumor with generally indolent behavior.

high grade endometrial stromal sarcoma: fully malignant tumor,unfavorable prognosis.

Endometrial stromal nodule is a rare mesenchymal tumor that accounts for one fourth of the endometrial stromal tumors. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish endometrial stromal nodule from stromal sarcoma.

Differential diagnosis depends on microscopic findings.
Endometrial stromal nodule being characterized by lack of infiltrating margins,lack of vascular/lymphatic invasion,minimal cytological atypia and mitotic activity.
DNA flow cytometric,ultrastructural,immunohistochemistry may also help.
Endometrial stromal tumors are commonly coexistent with leiomyomata and/or adenomyosis.

If the diagnosis is a endometrial stromal nodule, hysterectomy or local excision is recommended.

WAYS TO QUIT SMOKING

1 comment


Unlit filtered cigarettesImage via Wikipedia

Hi friends.In continuation with my previous post,today i'll like to post a review on how to quit smoking.

Let,s take a step by step approach.


First and most important,the individual himself or herself should first decide to STOP SMOKING.I believe applying restriction on an individual doesn't help.One should decide individually,that this is the last cigarette he or she smokes.But this decision is perhaps the most difficult part to achieve.


To achieve this we require an internal urge to leave this harmful addiction.Help may also be taken from trained counselors in this field.Psychological & behavioral support has a great role to play in this respect.Help from family members,co-workers,friends is also required.Politely tell your friends who smoke,not to smoke in front of you.


Certain medications
