The first women had a metrorrhagia after 8 months of unsuccessful therapy wi...

Uterine tumors with sex-cord-like differentiation are extremely rare types of uterine stromal neoplasm.

Treatment and pr...

In a female child presenting with vaginal bleeding or a mass protruding through the vagina, it is mandatory to perform an endoscopic and laparoscopic examination and biopsy to establish the correct diagnosis and precise extent of the lesion. An endodermal sinus tumor (EST) of the vagina is a rare, malignant germ cell tumor that occurs primarily in infants. Clearly, the vagina is a critical site...

This article builds on concepts previously presented, which include the abandonment of long-used, ill-defined, and confusing English-language terms of Latin and...

Endometrial carcinoma is the most frequent genital tract malignancy. The first symptom (guidesymptom) is usually metrorrhagia; however, in around 10% of cases it is not. In contrast, osseous metastases are infrequent in endometrial cancer. The bones of the pelvis and lower extremities are those most frequently involved in disseminated metastatic diseases. In these cases, endometrial cancer is u...
