The stromal theca cell and postmenopausal endometrial adenocarcinoma

Endometrial Stromal Nodule

The endometrial stromal nodule is a benign tumor composed of differentiated endometrial stromal cells arranged as a well circumscribed nodule with smooth non-invasive margins. They are rare neoplasms, diagnosed in most instances by microscopy. Although nodules are benign in nature, hysterectomy is the treatment of choice to enable evaluation of the tumor margins which are well demarcated in...

Kit ligand actions on ovarian stromal cells: effects on theca cell recruitment and steroid production.

Factors that control recruitment of theca cells from ovarian stromal-interstitial cells are important for early follicle development in the ovary. During recruitment, theca cells organize into distinct layers around early developing follicles and establish essential cell-cell interactions with granulosa cells. Recruitment of theca cells from ovarian stromal stem cells is proposed to involve cel...

Adiponectin Effect on The Viability of Human Endometrial Stromal Cells and mRNA Expression of Adiponectin Receptors

Proliferative activity in postmenopausal endometrium: the lurking potential for giving rise to an endometrial adenocarcinoma.

AIMS To investigate proliferation in disease free postmenopausal endometrium and that harbouring endometrial adenocarcinoma-is there a dynamic, yet lurking, potential for atrophic endometrium to give rise to endometrial adenocarcinoma? MATERIAL/METHODS The study comprised 84 disease free endometria from asymptomatic postmenopausal women who had undergone hysterectomy for prolapse, and 50 endo...

Endometrial stromal sarcoma with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterus: a case report.

Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a rare malignant neoplasm of the uterus. We report the first case of undifferentiated ESS (UES) coexistent with grade 1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma in a 73-year-old female who presented with irregular vaginal bleeding for 4 days after menopause 20 years. Imaging examination including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) demonstrated multi-node reflection in uter...
