Demographic data of patients, treatment and diagnosis process were investigated retrospectively by accessing the file of patients. Disease progression, survival time, recurrence status was learned by calling. Results were analyzed statistically. Results: Average age of patients were 51, 2 (± 13SD). Most of the patients were in postmenopausal (n=20, 68.9%). The most frequently (72.3%) complain was vaginal bleeding. 51.7% of patients were stage I and 34.4% of patients were stage 3 according to staging FIGO 2009. Twenty-two of the patients were treated with total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH)+ bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO)+bilateral pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy (BPPLND) and omentectomy. Mean tumor size were 10, 2(±8.5) cm. 34,4% of patients (n = 10) patients had lymph node involvement. Respectively, after the operation, the average life expectancy of 3.2 years. Twelve patients (41.37%) died until data collected up to December 2013. Conclusion: Uterine sarcomas have poor prognosis even at early stages. Each histological type must be evaluated separately. The role of adjuvant therapy is controversial. Key words: Uterine sarcomas, leimyosarcoma, survival
