Uterine sarcomas are rare and are often challenging to differentiate on imaging from benign mimics, such as leiomyoma. As functional MRI techniques have improved and new adjuncts, such as machine learning and texture analysis, are now being investigated, it is helpful to be aware of the current literature on imaging features that may sometimes allow for preoperative distinction.
