A case of endometrial stromal sarcoma associated with granuosa-theca cell tumor found postoperatively is presented with a brief review of literature available. 1. Endometrial stromal sarcoma is a relatively rare tumor of endometrial stromal origin. 2. One of the most unique features of endometrial stromal sarcoma is the markedly protracted clinical course. And lenghthy follow up reports are essential to full appreciation of the malignant of potential of this tumor. 3. Prolonged survival despite clinically obvious tumor recurrence is not uncommon. 4. Because of presenting symptoms were non-specific, preoperative diagnosis was rarely made but dilatation and currettage provided the correct diagnosis preoperatively in some cases. 5. Prognosis seems to depend upon extension of lesion type and nature of tumor cells. In case of the lesions beyond the confines of the uterus surgical eradication was difficult and recurrences were common. 6. For therapy, emphasis placed upon complete surgical removal as early as possilble and aggressively, regardless of the gross extent of disease. Vigorous irradiation therapy would of ten yield dramatic results when dealt with a recurrent of inadequate excision of tumors. 7. Endometrial stromal sarcomas associated with the other organ malignancy were very rare.
