Macroscopically, the uterus showed multiple nodular masses. Microscopic examination revealed tumor arranged in nests and alveolar pattern. The tumor cells were moderately to markedly pleomorphic, epithelioid to polygonal, with eccentrically placed nuclei, vesicular chromatin, prominent macro-nucleoli, and moderate to abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. PAS-positive and diastase-resistant intracytoplasmic crystals were also seen in some tumor cells. On immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells showed diffuse positivity for vimentin and nuclear positivity for TFE3, a surrogate marker for ASPS. These were negative for SMA, desmin, CD10, h-caldesmon, cyclin D1, EMA, Melan A, and CD34. SMARCB1 expression was retained. Based on the histopathology and IHC, a final diagnosis of uterine ASPS was rendered.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Knowledge of the characteristic histopathologic and immunohistochemical features can help accurately diagnose such rare tumors.
