Bizarre Stromal Cells in an Endometrial Polyp.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bizarre stromal cells have been reported in vulvovaginal polyps, as well as in nongynecologic sites, with caution not to mistake them for malignancy. Similar atypical stromal cells have only rarely been reported in the endometrium. We present a case found incidentally in a postmenopausal woman, and review the literature.

Endometrial polyps with atypical (bizarre) stromal cells.
Atypical stromal cells of the lower female gynecologic tract have been specifically described in the vagina, vulva, and cervix, predominantly in the context of polyps. Rare cases of atypical stromal cells have been documented in the endometrium. We report a series of 15 examples of atypical stromal cells in the endometrium: 13 in endometrial polyps and two within endometrial stroma in curettage...
متن کاملP-99: Survey of Noscapine Effect on Apoptosis of Human Endometrial Stromal Cells: An In Vitro Study
Background: Noscapine is a water soluble alkaloid with antitussive property and very less toxicity. It is obtained from the Papaveraceae family. Recently, new pharmacological properties such as anticancer, anti stroke and anti-angiogenic effects are introduced. There is no scientific report on noscapine effect on reproductive system. The aim of present study was to determine in vitro effect of ...
متن کاملEnhanced differentiation and clonogenicity of human endometrial polyp stem cells.
Endometrial polyps arise from endometrial overgrowth and may cause intermenstrual bleeding, irregular bleeding, and menorrhagia. In this study, endometrial polyps were harvested from hysterectomized specimens from 6 female patients not on hormone therapy. Endometrial polyp mesenchymal stem cells (EPMSCs) were isolated and characterized. Selected cells were spindle-shaped, and expressed surface ...
متن کاملAngiogenesis Following Three-Dimensional Culture of Isolated Human Endometrial Stromal Cells
Background Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity and is the most common gynecologic disorder in women of reproductive age. We have preliminary evidence that in the presence of a 3-dimensional (3-D) fibrin matrix, human endometrial glands, stroma, and neovascularization can develop in vitro, mimicking the earliest stages of endometriosis. The aim of th...
متن کاملComplete Resolution of Pseudomalignant Erosion in a Reflux Gastroesophageal Polyp with Proton Pump Inhibitor
Pseudomalignant erosion is a diagnostic pitfall for pathologists in the differential diagnosis of malignant neoplasms. Here, we present a challenging case of a biopsy specimen from the eroded head of a polyp at the esophagogastric junction. A malignant neoplasm could not be ruled out due to the presence of bizarre stromal cells. A second biopsy performed after the administration of a proton pum...
