From 1960 through 1983 sixty-four so-called pure mesenchymal homologous @entity242 of the uterus were observed at the @entity1 's University Hospital Z  rich. A review of the histological slides revealed that only 40 cases represented true @entity242 according to the contemporary diagnostic criteria. These were 25 @entity1822 and 15 @entity6019 . @entity1822 : The leading symptoms in these @entity1 are uncharacteristic abdominal @entity158 (15/25) as well as @entity548 disturbances (11/25), the latter being present with equal frequency in the pre- and post-menopause. In 7 of the 11 @entity1 with @entity548 the diagnosis was already made on examination of curettings, in all the other @entity1 after laparotomy only. Sixteen @entity1 had Stage I, four Stage III and five Stage IV @entity5 . The treatment consisted in surgery alone (9/25), surgery combined with radiotherapy (11/25) or with chemotherapy (2/25) as well as radiotherapy alone (1/25). In two cases no therapy was undertaken because of advanced @entity3085 of the @entity1 . Only three @entity1 are still alive without recurrence 4 to 12 years after the diagnosis, all had Stage I @entity5 . @entity6019 : In these @entity1 @entity548 represent the leading symptom (14/15), especially @entity548 (13/14). In all cases with vaginal bloody discharge the diagnosis was made on examination of the curettings, in a single case after laparotomy only. Eight @entity1 had Stage I, three Stage II, three Stage III and one Stage IV @entity5 . The treatment consisted of surgery alone (4/15) or in combination with radiotherapy (4/15), radiotherapy alone (6/15) and chemotherapy alone (1/15).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
