Abstract
Endometrial stromal tumors (EST) arise from stromal component of endometrium and are rare and
common in peri or postmenopausal age group. EST are partially estrogen dependent tumors and their histopathology resemble the stromal cells of normal proliferative endometrium. They present in varied forms pathologically ranging from most begin to most mligrant variants. Diagnosis essentially is by histopathology and prognosis is based on the mitotic activity of the tumor. We have presented here a case of EST presenting in a young nulliparous woman.
