Abstract: Introduction: Smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) are sporadic. We report a rare case of relapse of a uterine STUMP and discuss diagnostic and therapeutic issues. Case report: A 25-year-old North African woman was treated for a uterine STUMP bymyomectomy. Four years later she consulted with pelvic pain associated with pollakiuria. Observations during the surgery led us to perform a hysterectomy and the histopathological examination confirmed the relapse of a STUMP. Conclusion: Smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential of the uterus are rare. The surgery remains the standard protocol for the treatment. The risk of relapse is uncommon but a regular follow-up is recommended.
