Abstract
- Uterine smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) is rare tumor, and regarded as sub-classification in uterine smooth muscle tumors between benign and malignant criteria. They represent a heterogeneous group of rare tumors. We report a case of a STUMP tumor in a fifty-three-year-old patient who underwent surgery for a hysterectomy. STUMP often presents with nonspecific clinical manifestation the only confirmatory examination is anatomopathological and may be supported by immunohistochemistry, hysterectomy is currently considered the gold standard of treatment. Uterine STUMP tumor represents a therapeutic dilemma. A multidisciplinary approach is mandatory. • STUMP presents a diagnostic challenge due to its nonspecific clinical presentation. • Immunohistochemical markers play a crucial role in the identification of STUMP tumors. • STUMP poses challenges in treatment decisions, underscoring the importance of a multidisciplinary approach.
