AIM To classify ocular adnexal lymphomas according to the Revised European and American Lymphoma (REAL) classification and to determine any correlation between clinical features or histomorphological variables with the patients' outcome. METHODS Conventional and immunohistology were performed on representative sections of 53 specimens of 46 patients with ocular adnexal lymphoma. The antibodie...

INTRODUCTION Detection of asymptomatic adnexal tumours in postmenopausal women has increased due to wider use of diagnostic ultrasound and imaging quality improvements. Reliable methods to differentiate between benign and malignant tumours are required to avoid delays in treating ovarian cancer and to prevent unnecessary interventions for benign lesions. In the UK, the Royal College of Obstetri...

Carcinosarcoma has been reported in various sites, such as the lung, uterus, breast, bladder, and salivary glands (1-6). Primary carcinosarcoma of the skin is very rare. To the best of our knowledge, almost 50 cases have been reported to date in English in the literature. The disease is defined by two different malignant components (7). In the reported cases, the epithelial component was basal ...

Lentigo maligna is a lentiginous proliferation of atypical melanocytes confined to the epidermis, typically on chronically sun-damaged skin. Following biopsy and exclusion of invasive disease, therapy may involve Mohs surgery, topical treatment or radiotherapy. However, lentigo maligna often involves adnexal structures, creating histological difficulty in distinguishing these foci from invasive...

The commonest malignant ovarian tumour in the adolescent group is yolk sac tumour. It commonly encountered adolescents and young women. Incidence 1% of all tumours. We reported a case 9-year-old girl who presented with intermittent lower abdominal pain, not settling medical management. Abdominal ultrasonogram showed left adnexal echogenic mass measuring 5×6 cm cystic spaces internal vascularity...

The benign precursor usually antedates the malignancy by many years, as a non-progressive verrucous lesion; and when congenital, there is a frequent association with naevus sebaceous. In older people, the presence of solitary cutaneous adenocarcinoma leads to clinical consideration of a metastatic versus primary cancer; systematic morphologic analysis, will usually resolve the issue, as illustr...

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynaecological malignancy in developed countries. Synchronous endometrioid endometrial and ovarian cancer in patients appears with different clinical characteristics compared to patients with isolated endometrial cancer. A 34-year-old woman with lower abdominal pain of 1 year duration presented at the emergency department. On gynaecological exam...
