Abstract
Uterine tumors are a challenge encountered by every gynecologist in clinical
practice. In the era of increasing incidence of endometrial cancer in the general
population of women at reproductive age, compared to other genital malignancies, we
should not forget about other tumors originating from the mucous and muscular layer of
the uterus. Clear ultrasonographic differentiation of uterine tumors into benign
(myomas) and malignant (sarcomas) lesions may sometimes prove impossible. Myomas, the
most common uterine tumors, are characterized by discrete vascularization on color
Doppler and high blood flow velocity as well as the lack of early diastolic notch on
Doppler ultrasound. Sarcomas, on the other hand, show characteristic rich
vascularization. Rapid tumor growth should also be noted when making the diagnosis.
There are multiple known causes of uterine tumors. So far, no clear Doppler flow markers
have been identified to characterize benign and malignant lesions.
