Background: Verrucae are benign proliferations seen in skin and mucosae due to infection with papillomaviruses. They may present differently according to clinical appearance and localization. In time, about 60% of verrucae spontaneously resolve. Since there is no single effective treatment method, a few different methods may be combined or sequentially applied. Local treatment methods of verruc...

Viral warts are benign proliferations of the skin and mucous membranes caused by infection with human papillomavirus. They can be located anywhere on the skin and are common on the hands, feet, and knees. Extragenital warts are usually asymptomatic, but can occasionally cause pain or deformity. Although spontaneous resolution is not uncommon, viral warts can persist for months or years, and are...

Choriocarcinoma usually arises in the uterus and gonads. Primary choriocarcinoma (PCC) in an extragenital organ is rare. When it occurs in the gastrointestinal tract, the stomach is the most common site. Only 12 cases of PCC of the colon have been reported in the world literature. Most cases were associated with adenocarcinoma. We report the case of a 36-year-old man with PCC of the colon and r...

The female genital tract is an infrequent site of metastasis, in particular from extragenital primary tumors such as non-small cell lung cancer. Ovarian metastases have been described as disseminations of lung adenocarcinoma; rare cases of secondary localizations in adnexa, cervix and vagina were also observed in the literature, but none of these had endometrial involvement. We report the first...

We herein present an unusual case of 14-year-old boy with complete diphallus and bifid scrotum. He was not aware of his extragenital abnormality until he was examined by a surgeon before circumsion. During surgery, the hypoplastic penis was resected and a single scrotum was constructed by removing the band of skin separating the compartments. The rugose skin was then joined, giving scrotal cont...

We compared the analytical and clinical performance of cobas® CT/NG for use on the Cobas® 6800/8800 Systems with the Cobas® 4800 CT/NG Test from urogenital and extragenital specimens in over 12,000 specimens from both male and female subjects in Germany and the United States. The analytical sensitivity was ≤40 EB/ml for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and ≤1 CFU/ml for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG). Us...

AIMS AND BACKGROUND Malignant mixed mesodermal tumor (MMMT) is a biphasic neoplasm (carcinosarcoma) composed of both epithelial and mesenchymal elements. Extragenital MMMT, including primary peritoneal MMMT, is an extremely rare tumor with features consistent with its origin from the secondary Müllerian system. The neoplastic elements of extragenital MMMT presumably arise directly from the meso...

Endometriosis is a common gynecological entity that usually occurs in the pelvic organs. Umbilical endometriosis rare condition accounts for 0.5-1% of all extragenital endometriosis. It arises secondary to prior surgery but may arise de novo as well. We report case this with spontaneous occurrence, which was diagnosed preoperatively umbilical granuloma. should be kept differential diagnoses wom...
