Uterine adenosarcomas are mesenchymal neoplasms

Peritoneal Dissemination Complicating Morcellation of Uterine Mesenchymal Neoplasms

BACKGROUND Power morcellation has become a common technique for the minimally invasive resection of uterine leiomyomas. This technique is associated with dissemination of cellular material throughout the peritoneum. When morcellated uterine tumors are unexpectedly found to be leiomyosarcomas or tumors with atypical features (atypical leiomyoma, smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potenti...

Feasibility of uterine preservation in the management of early-stage uterine adenosarcomas: a single institute experience

BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of uterine preservation in patients with early-stage uterine adenosarcoma who want to preserve future fertility. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of patients with stage I uterine adenosarcoma diagnosed and treated at a single institute from 1998 through 2014. RESULTS Among the total of 31 patients, uterine preservation s...

Genetic analysis of uterine adenosarcomas and phyllodes tumors of the breast

Uterine adenosarcomas and breast phyllodes tumors (PTs) are morphologically similar, being composed of stromal projections in a leaf-like fashion lined by epithelial cells. Here, we investigated whether their histologic similarities would be mirrored at the genetic level. The previously reported repertoires of somatic genetic alterations found in 19 adenosarcomas and 22 PTs (six benign, six bor...

The Varieties of Uterine Neoplasms and Their Relative Frequency

Uterine tumours are of great interest to the surgeon and' pathologist, as well for the frequency of their occurrence as for the important surgical procedures now often undertaken for their removal. It was very different half a century ago,, when but little was known of the pathology of these tumours, and their surgical treatment was limited to the occasional, removal of specimens that projected...
