Uterine smooth muscle tumors can usually be divided histologically into leiomyoma (L) and leiomyosarcoma (LMS). Occasionally, the histologic features are indeterminate and classified as smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP). Recent gene expression studies have found p16 overexpressed in LMS when compared with normal myometrium. This study evaluated the protein expression of p16 by immunohistochemistry in LMS, L, and normal myometrium. Additionally, 8 tumors originally classified as STUMP were evaluated for p16 expression and correlated to their clinical outcome.
