Abstract
A clinico-pathologic study of a 69 yr old woman with a malignant giant cell tumor of the uterus compatible with malignant giant tumor of soft tissues is presented. The diagnosis was based mainly on light microscopy and EM findings, including the demonstration of phagocytic activity of the neoplastic cells. The tumor metastasized to the lung; the patient died a short time after clinical onset. The classification of uterine sarcomas and the differential diagnosis are briefly discussed.
