Reviewer’s report:  
 
Interesting retrospective work, which helps to know the problem of uterine  sarcomas in the pre 
and post menopause.  
 
In Material and Methods: why, if we are in 2018, has the patient review been done until 2014?  
 
I would like to better specify (including including a table) the reasons for surgery in 
postmenopausal women.  
 
Table I sho ws "Clinical findings" but does not cover 100% of patients.  
 
In Table III, the comparison of the results of the MRI has not been made.
