Excerpt

In this issue of Virchows Archiv, there is a comprehensive review article on the most recent advances in our understanding of the pathologic and molecular features of endometrial stromal tumors [1]. The review is written by a team and a senior author, with considerable experience in the field. The manuscript describes the changes made since the first classification based on the number of mitotic figures to the current approach based on the resemblance to normal endometrial stroma of the proliferative phase. …
