A recent trend in the classification of uterine smooth muscle neoplasms (USMNs) into clinically benign and clinically malignant groups has been to move from exclusive reliance upon mitotic index (MI) to an approach that incorporates additional histopathologic characteristics. In furtherance of this goal, we assessed a variety of histopathologic features of 213 problematic smooth muscle neoplasms for which we had greater than or equal to 2 years of clinical followup data or for which there was an unfavorable outcome. One hundred and thirteen of these patients have had a minimum follow-up of 5 years, and 48 have been followed for greater than or equal to 10 years. Cases eliminated from the study group included USMNs with a significant myxoid or epithelioid component and cases of intravenous leiomyomatosis. USMNs, whether cellular or not, with no cytologic atypia and with a mitotic index (MI = number of mitotic figures [mf]/10 high-power fields [hp]l) of
