Background: Neoplasms are the second leading cause of deaths in Sri Lanka. Present study analysed trends incidence and mortality all cancers, breast cancer, cervical, ovarian uterine cancers among Lankan females over 1995-2010. Methods: Cancer was obtained from national hospital-based cancer registries. abstracted World Health Organization database Department Census Statistics Number new cases ...

The diagnosis of benign cervical that does not rely on imaging, but the clinical and histological examination. Indeed, the main question is: is it a benign or malignant lesion? Among the benign lesions, the variety of lesions that may be encountered is important. However, knowledge of the typical aspects of the most common injuries helps confirm a diagnosis and avoid unnecessary explorations. L...

Uterine cervix carcinoids are distinct neuroendocrine cervical tumors, representing a comparatively small percentage of them. These well-differentiated neoplasms are far less prevalent than small- and large-cell carcinomas, characterized by a more favorable biological course. We report a case of a 43-year-old woman with a nonmetastatic cervical carcinoid, managed with radical hysterectomy. She ...

background: mullerian adenosarcoma, a rare tumor, is composed of mixed mesenchymal and epithelial elements. the epithelial component is typically benign and admixed with malignant sarcomatous stroma. this tumor can be distinguished in approximately 8% of all uterus sarcomas and commonly originates in the endometrium as a growing polypoid mass in the uterine cavity. all age groups are affected b...

background: congenital uterine malformations are the result of disturbances in mullerian duct development. in patients with recurrent miscarriage, the reported frequency of uterine anomalies varies widely, from 1.8% to 37.6%. there are reports in which cervical cerclage has been shown to prevent preterm labor in uterine anomalies. the aim of this study was to compare the role of cervical cercla...

BACKGROUND As a rule, endocervical tumours with signet-ring cell are classed as metastatic extra-genital neoplasms. In a patient aged 45 years, we describe primary cervical signet-ring cell carcinoma (PCSRCC) characterized by prominent endometrial and myometrial involvement, simulating primary endometrial adenocarcinoma with cervical extension. In addition, a review was made of the literature t...

S ince 1970, cancer of the uterine cervix has accounted for 10% of all new cases of malignant neoplasms occurring among women in Cuba. Although the age-adjusted incidence rates in women 30-74 years of age have decreased from 41.3 per 100 000 women in 1970 to 37.8 per 100 000 in 1990, mortality from this cancer has not changed significantly over the past 10 years (I). This situation exists in sp...

OBJECTIVES Human Epididymal Secretory Protein 4 was firstly described as an epididymis-specific protein but more recently it has been demonstrated to be a putative serum tumor marker for different malignancies, especially ovarian epithelial cancers. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between tissue Human Epididymal Secretory Protein 4 expression and the clinicopathological ...

Perivascular Epithelioid Cell Tumour (PEComa) also known as myelomelanocytic tumours are uncommon, recently described mesenchymal tumours that include angiomyolipoma, clear cell "sugar" tumour of the lung, lymphangioleiomyoma and tumours composed predominantly of epithelioid cell morphology. A predilection for uterus has been described. However up till now only 14 cases of uterine PEComas have ...
