BACKGROUND The incidence of invasive cancer within a mucinous cystic neoplasm of the pancreas varies between 6 and 36%. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism and anovulatory infertility. One surgical treatment that can restore endocrine balance and ovulation in polycystic ovarian syndrome is partial ovarian destruction. Successful pregnancies following prec...

Ovarian carcinosarcoma composed of high-grade carcinoma and sarcoma is an extremely rare neoplasm typically occurs in postmenopausal women aged over 60 years. A 73-year-old female, gravida three para three, presented to our hospital with right lower abdominal pain. Right pelvic solid tumor ascites was detected on ultrasound examination.

Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor (SLCTs) of the ovary, also known as androblastoma, is a rare neoplasm from group sex cord-stromal tumors ovary. They account for less than 0.5% all ovarian tumors. typically occur in young and reproductive women patients usually present with abdominal swelling or pain. A case 35-year-old multiparous female presented mass, ultrasonography revealed large abdomino-pelvic ...

Because the ovaries are located deep within the pelvic cavity, early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is difficult. As a result, between about 70%­80% of patients with ovarian cancer are already at an advanced stage at th...

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy and the high mortality rate is associated with advanced-stage disease at the time of the diagnosis. In order to find new tools to make diagnosis of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) at early stages we have analyzed the presence of specific HMGA2 mRNA in the plasma of patients affected by this neoplasm. HMGA2 overexpression represents a fe...

Intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas develops through a multistep carcinogenesis sequence and they are preceded by precursor lesions. Precursors of malignant neoplasm are identified in various organs including uterine cervix, gastrointestinal tract and breast. Identification of these precursor lesions are important in that they need minimal treatment or they are good indicator of d...

An intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct is a biliary, epithelium-lined, cystic lesion that exhibits papillary proliferation and rarely causes large hemorrhagic cystic lesions.
