Infectious agents have been identified as a major cause of specific types of human cancers worldwide. Several microorganisms have been identified as potential aggravators of ocular adnexal neoplasms; however, given the rarity of these neoplasms, large epidemiological studies are difficult to coordinate. This study aimed to conduct an exhaustive search for pathogenic DNA in lymphoproliferative d...

OBJECTIVE To determine the feasibility and safety of vaginal hysterectomy for benign nonprolapsed uteri. METHODS Eighty consecutive women with nonprolapsed uteri requiring hysterectomy for benign uterine conditions, without suspected adnexal disease, were treated prospectively by vaginal hysterectomy. Operating time, estimated blood loss, surgical techniques, operative complications, conversion...

Objective: Laparoscopic oophoropexy is performed by a minimally invasive technique that can be offered to any age premenopausal women with an appropriate indication. Adnexal torsion is an uncommon but important cause of emergency admission to the gynaecologist. Torsion of the adnexa has traditionally been treated by involved surgical excision of the affected structure, usually via laparotomy, b...

Introduction: Adnexal auto-amputation is a rare complication of fetal ovarian torsion. We present a case of adnexal auto-amputation and its laparoscopic treatment in a newborn. In this article, to discuss different techniques, we also reviewed newborn and infant cases of adnexal auto-amputation reported in the literature and treated laparoscopically. Case Description/Technique Description: A 2-...

Malignant pathologies may be observed in the histopathological examination of patients who were operated with diagnosis myoma uteri. We aimed to investigate rates detection uterine sarcoma, smooth muscle tumor uncertain malignant potential and benign variants due Patients uteri between 2012-2018 included. without pathology compared terms their characteristics. The malignancy was encountered 39 ...

Luman/CREB3 recruitment factor (LRF or CREBRF) was identified as a regulator of Luman (or CREB3) that is involved in the unfolded protein response during endoplasmic reticulum stress. Luman is implicated in a multitude of functions ranging from viral infection and immunity to cancer. The biological function of LRF, however, is unknown. In this paper, we report that uteri of pregnant mice and em...

Objective. The aim of this study is to look at possible differences in outcome between serosa and adnexal involvement stage IIIA endometrial carcinoma. Methods. 67 patients with stage IIIA endometrial carcinoma were included, 46 with adnexal involvement and 21 with serosa. A central histopathological review was performed. Results. The 7-year locoregional failure rate was (LRFR) 2.2% for adnexal...

Ichthyosis uteri is an exceedingly rare condition in which the entire surface of the endometrium is replaced by stratified squamous epithelium. Originally described as an endometrial response to iatrogenically-introduced caustic substances, similar changes have since been described in association with a variety of inflammatory conditions of the endometrium. We describe herein a heretofore undes...

Endometrial carcinoma is the most prevalent gynecologic cancer in the United States. The tumor suppressor gene Pten (phosphatase and tensin homolog) is commonly mutated in the more common type 1 (endometrioid) subtype. The glucose-regulated protein 94 (GRP94) is emerging as a novel regulator for cancer development. Here we report that expression profiles from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) show...

Symptomatic leiomyomatous uteri affect about 30% of women [1]. In the United States, more than 80% of African American and 70% of Caucasian women have leiomyoma by age 50, with an overall incidence of 12.8 per 1,000 woman years [1]. Symptomatic severity disparities are more pronounced than leiomyoma incidence disparities. African Americans women have larger and more numerous leiomyomata occurri...
