AB  - Abstract Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors (UTROSCT) are distinguished into two separate groups: endometrial stromal tumors with sex cord-like elements (Group I), which have an unfavorable prognosis; and UTROSCT proper (group II), with more than 40% sex cord-like differentiation and less endometrial component, which are biologically less aggressive than the tumors of the other group. We report the case of a young woman with UTROSCT treated by minimally invasive hysteroscopic surgery. This is one of the few cases reported in the literature that have been managed conservatively.
