Endometriosis is associated with increased rates of ovarian, particularly clear cell, adenocarcinomas. Malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis is most common but rare cases have been reported in the bladder, abdominal wall, diaphragm, and rectum. We present the case of a 44-year-old female with vesical clear cell adenocarcinoma arising in a background of endometriosis in the absence o...

This finding at presentation (possibly aggravated by oral calcium intake) led to discovery of a clear cell carcinoma of the ovary. The implications and pathophysiology of this association are reviewed. CASE REPORT Following presentation with abdominal ...
متن کاملNon-diethylstilbestrol exposed vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma has a common molecular profile with ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma: A case report
•Primary vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma (PVCCA) coexists with urinary tract anomalies without exposure to diethylstilbestrol in some cases.•PVCCA in our case showed genetic alterations of well-known cancer related genes, including a mutation of PIK3CA.•The genetic profile suggests that the carcinogenesis of PVCCA might have elements common with that of OCCA.
متن کاملIGFBP-1 is expressed specifically in ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma.
AIMS To investigate the specific expression of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) in ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA). METHODS AND RESULTS Immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization for IGFBP-1 were performed in normal endometrium, placenta, and 100 surgically resected cases of ovarian cancer including 31 CCAs and 69 non-CCAs. Immunohistochemistry for hepatocyte...
متن کاملOchratoxin A: the continuing enigma.
The mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA) has been linked to the genesis of several disease states in both animals and humans. It has been described as nephrotoxic, carcinogenic, teratogenic, immunotoxic, and hepatotoxic in laboratory and domestic animals, as well as being thought to be the probable causal agent in the development of nephropathies (Balkan Endemic Nephropathy, BEN and Chronic Interstitia...
