The term uterine smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential
(STUMP) refers to a group of uterine smooth muscle tumors (SMT) that cannot be
unequivocally diagnosed as benign or malignant. The diagnosis, surgical
management and follow-up of this pathology remain controversial, especially in
women of childbearing age with a desire for fertility, due to the non aggressive
behavior and the prolonged survival rate compared to leiomyosarcomas. However,
recidivism is estimated between 8.7% and 11%. We reported the case of two patients
treated by surgical intervention
