the endometrial stromal nodule is a benign tumor composed of differentiated endometrial stromal cells arranged as a well circumscribed nodule with smooth non-invasive margins. they are rare neoplasms, diagnosed in most instances by microscopy. although nodules are benign in nature, hysterectomy is the treatment of choice to enable evaluation of the tumor margins which are well demarcated in end...

OBJECTIVES We describe the morphologic and immunohistochemical features of 17 endometrial stromal neoplasms, 16 sarcomas, and one stromal nodule. METHODS We reviewed 35 cases interpreted as endometrial stromal neoplasms, but 17 high-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESS) and one case of mixed endometrial sarcoma and leiomyosarcoma were excluded from the study. Data from the Surveillance Epi...

Primitive neuroectodermal tumours (PNETs) are highly malignant neoplasms usually seen in bone and soft tissues. However, uterine primitive rare occur women with a median age of 55 years. Awareness the occurrence PNETs uterus its recognition is important as it associated advanced stage disease follow potentially aggressive clinical course. We presenting case central tumour (PNET) postmenopausal ...

Uterine leiomyomata (fibroids), benign neoplasms of the smooth muscle, are a major cause of hysterectomy. Exposure to hormonally active chemicals may play an etiologic role. The authors investigated the risk of uterine leiomyoma associated with exposure to 2,3,7,8,-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) for women who resided near Seveso, Italy, in 1976 at the time of a chemical explosion. Twenty ye...

Sir: We read with interest the recent work by McCluggage et al. reporting the diagnostic utility of CD10 expression in distinguishing endometrial stromal lesions from other potential mimics, such as uterine smooth muscle neoplasms. CD10 is a cell-surface neutral endopeptidase detected in a variety of normal and neoplastic conditions. However, to the best of our knowledge, CD10 expression has ne...

Abnormal uterine bleeding, the most common symptom of gynecological disease, is defined as menorrhagia or metrorrhagia. The former term applies only to an excessive loss of blood during the menstrual period. This loss may be evidenced in one of several ways: by an excessive menstrual flow, by a prolongation of the flow beyond the usual time limits, by a too frequent recurrence of the flow, or b...
