Non bacterial thrombotic endocarditis presenting as a stroke is a rare presentation as a result of an underlying occult ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma. Embolic events secondary to non bacterial thrombotic endocarditis are potentially a life-threatening condition if not diagnosed and treated promptly. High clinical suspicion for an underlying neoplasm is one of the key elements to be consider...

Ovarian fibroma with minor sex cord element is a rare neoplasm. Microscopically it is composed of predominantly fibromatous or a thecomatous tumor containing scattered minor sex cord elements in less than 10% of the tumor area.A case of fibroma with minor sex cord elements discovered incidentally in a normal sized ovary in a patient who presented with dysfunctional uterine bleeding is being pre...

Ovarian carcinoid tumor is a rare neoplasm that may appear as a solid mass or often combined with teratomas or mucinous tumors. We report 2 cases associated with mucinous cystadenomas and describe their magnetic resonance imaging characteristics. On T(2)-weighted images, the tumors appeared as multilocular cystic masses with hypointense solid components as a result of abundant fibrous stroma in...

CONTEXT Mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) of the pancreas usually affects female patients and is characterized by an ovarian-type stroma. From literature review, only 9 cases of MCNs have been reported in male patients. CASE REPORT We describe the 10th case of a MCN in a 65-year-old male patient who underwent a distal pancreatectomy with spleen resection and standard lymphadenectomy. CONCLUSIO...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Maspin is an inhibitor of serine proteinases with tumor suppressor activity that is down-regulated in breast and prostate cancer, but overexpressed in pancreatic carcinoma. However, there were very few published data regarding the role of maspin in ovarian carcinoma. The aim of the present study was to evaluate maspin expression in ovarian epithelial neoplasms and correla...

Background of study: International treatment guidelines dedicated to children and adolescents are not yet established, hence need for such studies like ours is required throw light on demographic variations ovarian tumors developing specific their management. Materials Methods: It a descriptive longitudinal study undertaken in the Department Obstetrics &Gynaecology from Feb 2018 July 2019. ...

Introduction. Reports of epithelial ovarian carcinomas metastatic to the pancreas are very rare. We herein present a metastasis of high grade papillary serous ovarian cancer to mid portion of pancreas. Case. A 42-year-old patient was admitted with a non-specified malignant cystic lesion in midportion of pancreas. She had a history of surgical treatment for papillary serous ovarian adenocarcinom...

BACKGROUND Ovarian tumors in reptiles are uncommonly reported in the literature and for green iguanas previously reported cases include teratomas, one adenocarcinoma and one papillary cystadenocarcinoma. The present report is the first of a malignant ovarian teratoma in a green iguana. Complete and detailed pathological features, differential diagnosis and surgical management of malignant ovari...

In women, >80% of malignant ovarian tumors are of epithelial origin. Early detection of these tumors is very challenging,and extensive i.p. dissemination is common by the time of diagnosis. The lack of adequate geneticmouse models of ovarian carcinomas significantly delays advances in early detection and treatment. We report that female transgenic mice expressing the transforming region of SV40...

BACKGROUND Ovary is the commonest site of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesion, can present in childhood to postmenopausal age group and accounts for the most prevalent cause of hospital admissions. AIM This study was done to analyse the frequency of ovarian lesions their clinico-histological features in a rural set up. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective study of 145 ovarian lesion...
