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...

anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody bevacizumab for the treatment of recurrent uterine neoplasms. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis of women with recurrent uterine neoplasms

Background: Angiogenesis plays an important role in endometrial carcinogenesis. We reviewed our experience with the anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody bevacizumab for the treatment of recurrent uterine neoplasms. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis of women with recurrent uterine neoplasms treated with bevacizumab was performed. Results: A total of 11 patients were identified, 9 with epit...

Histomorphological and Immunohistochemical Analysis of Pleural Neoplasms

Background & objective:Primary pleural neoplasms are rare entities compared with the pleural involvement by metastatic carcinoma. The current study aimed at investigating the complete spectrum of pleural neoplasms and differentiating between them with the aid of immunohistochemistry (IHC). Methods: Consecutive pleu...
