Endometrial stromal tumors are reviewed with emphasis on their wide morphologic spectrum and problems in differential diagnosis, highlighting issues that have received particular attention in the recent literature. These neoplasms are divided into two major categories--endometrial stromal nodules and endometrial stromal sarcomas--a distinction made on the basis of the lack of significant infilt...

We often experimence the radiation disturbances (RD hereunder), that is leucopenia, thrombocytopenia and sympathetic nervous syndrome, while admini stering radiotherapy following operation of uterine cancer and such malignant neoplasms and against advanced malignant female genital tumors. They some times become so pronounced as to necessitate suspension of the therapy at times even forcing us t...

IntroductionMalignant neoplasms of the female genital tract accounts for majority cancers in females.The incidence and pattern malignancies vary from region to due differences ingenetic patterns, lifestyle sociocultural factors. The objective this research is study thehistopathological spectrum neoplastic lesions reproductive system. MethodsA total 309 samples were included period January2017 D...

Patients with breast cancer exhibit an increased risk in developing neoplasms of other organs. In case of endometrium, the increased risk might be due to tamoxifen adjuvant therapy and prior radiotherapy. Carcinosarcomas are rare uterine cancers and carry poor prognosis. We present a case of Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumor (MMMT) of the uterus in a 46-year-old woman, after tamoxifen treatment a...

Considering that there are some studies with autopsies from AIDS describing only malignant neoplasias and that changes can occur after the introduction of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART), our objectives were to analyze the frequency of benign and malignant neoplasms in AIDS patients in the periods of both pre- and post-HAART. This is a retrospective study with 261 autopsies of HIV-...

UNLABELLED The aim of the study was to determine the occurrence of UFLs and the dynamics of their development, as well as to evaluate the histopathology and relationship with regressive stromal changes. 3750 uterine specimens were reviewed during the period between 1984 and 2003. In the examined series of 3750 uteruses removed due to tumors or prolapse, 50 cases with four types of changes were ...

OBJECTIVES In the case of carcinogenesis in human endometrium no information exists on tissue concentration of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, the DNA oxidative stress marker This was the main reason to undertake the investigation of this DNA modification in human uterine estrogen-dependent tissue cancers. MATERIAL AND METHODS In order to estimate the level of oxidative damage, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydrogua...

We have reported that a novel tumor-associated antigen (Ag), 22-1-1, was expressed in cancer cells derived mainly from the uterus and ovary [K. Sonoda et al., Cancer (Phila.), 77: 1501-1509, 1996]. The 22-1-1 Ag existed not only in adenocarcinomas but also in squamous cell carcinomas in the uterine cervix. Here, a relationship between tumor progression and invasion and 22-1-1 Ag expression was ...

INTRODUCTION Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors (UTROSCT) are uterine neoplasms of unknown histiogenesis which show near complete differentiation towards ovarian sex cord elements and are postulated to arise from pluripotential uterine mesenchymal cells or endometrial stromal cells with secondary sex cord differentiation. CASE PRESENTATION A 48 year old post-menopausal women pr...

IMPORTANCE Myomectomy, the excision of uterine leiomyoma, is now commonly performed via minimally invasive surgery. Electric power morcellation, or fragmentation of the leiomyoma with a mechanical device, may be used to facilitate extraction of the leiomyoma. OBJECTIVE To analyze the prevalence of underlying cancer and precancerous changes in women who underwent myomectomy with and without el...
