INTRODUCTION We report an unusual case of a large cystic, pedunculated uterine leiomyoma mimicking a primary malignant ovarian tumour on sonography and computed tomography (CT). CLINICAL PICTURE A 56-year-old post-menopausal woman presented with a right pelviabdominal mass. Sonography and CT examination showed a large extrauterine mass arising from the right adnexa and extending into the abdo...

OBJECTIVES To prospectively assess the diagnostic performance of simple ultrasound rules to predict benignity/malignancy in an adnexal mass and to test the performance of the risk of malignancy index, two logistic regression models, and subjective assessment of ultrasonic findings by an experienced ultrasound examiner in adnexal masses for which the simple rules yield an inconclusive result. ...

Endometrial cancer (EC) is a commonly occurring among post-menopausal women. Pre-treatment imaging of the extent disease can influence decisions in management EC. MRI with its diffusion weighted (DW) images help better depiction primary tumour, local extension and extrauterine spread to peritoneum lymph nodes. This study was conducted know role for pre-operative staging endometrial as guide pel...

To clarify the roles of adiponectin receptor (AdipoR) and leptin receptor (ObR) in endometrial carcinoma, the expression of AdipoR-1 and -2 and ObR in endometrial cancer was examined immunohistochemically, and correlations with clinicopathological implications were also analysed. Paraffin-embedded tissues were obtained from 77 patients with endometrial carcinoma and were stained immunohistochem...

Background Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a rare skin neoplasm that has not been characterized on molecular basis. Aim To assess expression profiles of Hedgehog (HH) signalling molecules in MAC and control tumours. Methods Immunohistochemistry was performed for Sonic (SHH), Indian (IHH), Patched 1 (PTCH1) Smoothened (SMO) patient tissue (n = 26) tumour tissue, including syringoma (SyG; ...

BACKGROUND The traditional surgical management of nodular adnexal basal cell carcinomas (BCC) involves excision with 3-4 mm margins and primary repair. This may remove a significant area of healthy tissue, often necessitating a complicated reconstruction, without the confirmation that tumour excision is complete. METHODS Nodular adnexal BCCs were excised with 2 mm margins, and the repair dela...

Background: The traditional surgical management of nodular adnexal basal cell carcinomas (BCC) involves excision with 3–4 mm margins and primary repair. This may remove a significant area of healthy tissue, often necessitating a complicated reconstruction, without the confirmation that tumour excision is complete.

AIM To evaluate the performance of subjective evaluation of ultrasound findings (pattern recognition) to discriminate endometriomas from other types of adnexal masses and to compare the demographic and ultrasound characteristics of the true positive cases with those cases that were presumed to be an endometrioma but proved to have a different -histology (false positive cases) and the endometrio...

Introduction/Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting Data System Magnetic Resonance Imaging (O-RADS MRI) score for risk stratification sonographically indeterminate adnexal masses. Methodology Thirty-four patients with mass according Simple Rules were enrolled between March 2020 and 2021. Subjective impression malignancy at ultrasound...
