Uterus Tumours: an Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
Note Anatomically, uterine neoplasms may be localized at the corpus, isthmus (the transition between the endocervix and uterine corpus) and cervix. The fallopian tubes and uterine ligaments may also undergo tumour tranformation. This overview will focus on uterine cervix and corpus tumours, including benign, pre-malignant and malignant lesions. They may affect the endometrium, muscles or other supporting tissue. Uterine tumours may be histologically typed according to several classification systems. Those used most frequently are based on the WHO (World Health Organization) International Histological Classification of Tumours and on the ISGYP (International Society of Gynecological Pathologists). The most widely-accepted staging system is the FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) one.

In Fardeau's series of 73 tumours, 32, or 44 per cent, were uterine. Fardeau omitted 2 of Polson'...
