INTRODUCTION In 1988, FIGO added lymph node surgery to the staging system for endometrial cancer. This change remains controversial to date. From our study we aim to determine the significance of surgico-pathological parameters of endometrioid carcinoma for pelvic nodal metastases and survival, as well as to study the role of pelvic lymphadenectomy in the surgical treatment of this disease. M...

objective: to evaluate the adnexal masses with conventional gray scale and color doppler flow imaging and to assess their diagnostic reliability to differentiate benign and malignant adnexal masses. materials and methods: we evaluated 30 patients with adnexal mass. morphological characterization of the mass was done using sassone score. color doppler parameters noted down in each patient and ca...

With increased use of ultrasound in early pregnancy, detection of adnexal masses in pregnancy has become more common. Adnexal masses in pregnancy have a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics. Therefore, it is important that the obstetrician be skilled in the diagnosis and management of adnexal masses in pregnancy. Common adnexal lesions seen in pregnancy include s...

Background/Aim. Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies. Risk of malignancy index (RMI) is recommended in assessment of patients with adnexal masses. The aim of this study was to verify the effectiveness of the RMI in the discrimination between benign lesions and malignant adnexal masses in clinical practice. Methods. Ultrasounds were performed for all the pat...

background: microcystic adnexal tumor is a rare sclerosing variant of ductal carcinoma of eccrine sweat glands which is highly invasive. this tumor is often misdiagnosed as other benign or malignant skin lesions and improper treatment is carried on and is associated with high recurrence rate. case presentation: we reported here in a 59-years old man who underwent incisional biopsy for a ongenit...

Objective: The study aims to investigate the prognostic factors in uterine endometrioid adenocarcinoma that affect survival outcomes. 
 Materials and Methods: This retrospective includes 144 cases which underwent surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma. Demographic data tumour characteristics were evaluated lymph node metastasis. Stage I grade 1-2 tumours divided into lymphadenectomy non-lym...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the role of the presence of a choline peak in 3 Tesla 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) for differentiating benign from malignant adnexal masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 46 adnexal masses (23 malignant and 23 benign) underwent 1H MRS study prior to surgery to assess the presence of choline peak. RESULTS A choline peak was detect...

p63, a recently identified homologue of the p53 gene, is mainly expressed by basal and myoepithelial cells in skin. Others and we have shown the value of p63 in distinguishing primary adnexal tumors from visceral adenocarcinomas metastatic to skin. We now investigate the pattern of p63 expression in metastases from skin adnexal carcinomas and their cognate primaries and evaluate p63 expression ...

We investigated the organization of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) and the T cell receptor beta chain (T$) gene loci in 20 ocular adnexal and four extraocular lymphoid neoplasms obtained from 1 8 patients presenting with an ocular adnexal lymphoid neoplasm. Fifteen ocular adnexal and four extraocular lymphoid neoplasms occurring in 1 3 patients were classified by morphological examination...

Objective. The aim of this study is to look at possible differences in outcome between serosa and adnexal involvement stage IIIA endometrial carcinoma. Methods. 67 patients with stage IIIA endometrial carcinoma were included, 46 with adnexal involvement and 21 with serosa. A central histopathological review was performed. Results. The 7-year locoregional failure rate was (LRFR) 2.2% for adnexal...
