Other, non-organ-specific tumours such as NTRK-rearranged spindle cell neoplasia, perivascular epithelioid cell tumour (PEComa) and inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) are extremely difficult to differentiate.In the most recent WHO classification, endometrial stromal tumours are subdivided as follows: benign, expansively growing endometrial stromal nodule (ESN) with sharp demarcation, the histologically similar-looking LG-ESS with infiltrative growth, the highly malignant HG-ESS and, as a diagnosis of exclusion, the highly aggressive UUS lacking specific lines of differentiation. LG-ESS can be differentiated from HG-ESS in most cases histomorphologically and immunohistochemically, but molecular investigations are necessary in individual cases. HG-ESS can be divided into 4 subtypes (YWHAE/NUTM2 fusion low-grade component, YWHAE/NUTM2 fusion high-grade component, ZC3H7B-BCOR fusion or BCOR-ITD) on the basis of molecular findings. Prognostically unfavourable factors in AS are severe sarcomatous overgrowth, deep myometrial invasion, high-grade histology and lymphatic vessel invasion.
