Uterine Abnormalities in Sisters with Associated Android Features

Cytogenetic abnormalities in uterine myomas are associated with myoma size.

Uterine leiomyomata (myomas) are associated with a variety of characteristic cytogenetic abnormalities. The significance of these chromosomal aberrations in the pathobiology of myomas remains to be determined. The present study investigated the relationship between myoma cytogenetic abnormalities and size. A total of 114 myoma specimens were obtained from 92 patients undergoing myomectomy or hy...

Application of 3D Ultrasonography in Detection of Uterine Abnormalities

Sarcoma botryoides (embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma) of the uterine cervix in sisters.

Sarcoma botryoides (embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma) rarely arises in the uterine cervix. We report a case of a 14-year-old female with sarcoma botryoides who presented with prolonged vaginal bleeding and cervical polyp. The biopsy specimen confirmed sarcoma botryoides. The patient underwent radical surgery of the tumor and hysterectomy without adjuvant chemotherapy. The sister of the patient had di...
