Carcinosarcoma of the uterus. In gross appearance, MMMTs are fleshier than adenocarcinomas, may be bulky and polypoid, and sometimes protrude through the cervical os.On histology, the tumors consist of adenocarcinoma (endometrioid, serous or clear cell) mixed with the malignant mesenchymal elements; alternatively, the tumor may contain two distinct and separate epithelial and mesenchymal ...

By the age of 50, the incidence of uterine fibroids was >80% in African-American with-uterus persons and >70% of Caucasian with-uterus persons. [18] Recurrence of uterine leiomyomas 4–5 years after removal occurs up to 59% of the time for with-uterus persons of African origin. [19]
