5595 Background: Endometrial cancer is the most common cancer of the female genital tract. It affected 41,200 women in the year 2006 and caused 7,350 deaths. Therapy options for recurrent/advanced endometrial cancer are limited. Treatment with radiation and chemotherapy has shown only limited success. Methods: In a phase II IRB approved trial, Mifepristone was given to patients with progesterone receptor positive advanced or recurrent endometrioid adenocarcinoma or low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma at a dose of 200mg/day orally. Patients were evaluated every 4 weeks to assess treatment-related toxicities and response. Imaging was obtained initially at 8 weeks then every 12 weeks for evaluation of response. Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 3.0 was used to assess toxicity. Results: Twelve of 13 enrolled patients were evaluable for response in the first phase of accrual. Stable disease was noted in 3/12 (16, 20, and 44+ weeks). Two were endometrioid endometrial cancer and one with LGESS. No complete responses were seen, one patient remains in treatment. The most frequently reported grade 1–2 tumor related toxicities were anorexia, mood alterations, and fatigue (55%). Twenty-seven percent had asymptomatic elevations of ACTH. The most common Grade 3 toxicities were fatigue and dyspnea (27% and 18%). Only one patient experienced a Grade 4 dyspnea. No serious treatment-related adverse events occurred. Conclusions: Single agent mifepristone in patients with recurrent endometrioid adenocarcinoma or low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma showed no complete responses. Stable disease was reported 25%, one patient remains stable at 44 weeks. Recent reports suggests that mifepristone may also work via non hormonal targets while single agent mifepristone has minimal activity in this setting. Further evaluation in combination therapy in endometrial cancer should be considered. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a rare and challenging type of endometrial tumor, constituting only about 0.2% of all uterine malignancies and occurring in women 42–58 years of age. ESS is usually misdiagnosed as leiomyoma. They both have nonspecific symptoms, which makes the diagnosis of ESS difficult to achieve. As the ESS is infrequently encountered, optimal management is quite debatable. Here, we report a rare case of a 22-year-old Syrian female who presented with abnormal uterine bleeding; the preoperative diagnosis suggested leiomyoma while histopathological and immunohistochemical studies confirmed the diagnosis of LG-ESS stage IIA. Therefore, the treatment plan was shifted from a conservative myomectomy to a total hysterectomy with both adnexa. The aim of this case report is to draw attention to this uncommon tumor at young age of patients as well as to have awareness of the necessity to suspect this diagnosis especially with the presentation of rapid enlargement of uterine leiomyoma.
