INTRODUCTION Solitary uterine metastases from extragenital cancers are very rare. Breast cancer is the most frequent primary site of metastasis to the uterine corpus, with invasive lobular carcinoma more likely to spread to gynecologic organs than invasive ductal carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION A 62-year-old postmenopausal Japanese woman was diagnosed with uterine leiomyomata more than 20 years ...

We recently showed that targeted knockdown of death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) expression induces apoptosis in the human endometrial adenocarcinoma cell line HHUA. To investigate the possibility that DAPK may represent a molecular target for anticancer therapies for advanced uterine cancers, we examined the effects of DAPK siRNA transfections on the viability of five different human uteri...

conclusions spontaneous rupture of pyometra duo to cervical cancer in cases of acute abdomen in elderly patients should be considered. introduction pyometra is an accumulation of purulent material or pus in the uterine cavity. spontaneous perforation of uterus by pyometra is rare. this is a clinical presentation and management of a spontaneous perforation of uterine caused by pyometra. case pre...

Uterine cancer is one of the diseases suffered by women because it related to uterus or womb. Acute uterine that not handled properly can cause death in women. So this must be addressed immediately improve standard living women, considering women's roles are quite complex life. This what encourages researchers conduct research on early analysis and its treatment lives. The purpose find out how ...

Gynecologic malignancies may have similar histological characteristics. This may lead to difficulties in determining the origin of the cancer and to distinguish a synchronous neoplasm from a metastatic cancer in advanced cases. Recently, we treated a 59-year-old patient with adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix, endometrium, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. It was difficult to determine whether th...

Cancer of the uterine cervix is the 5th most deadly type of female cancer [1]. It is clearly demonstrated that HPV infection is the necessary, but not the sufficient cause of most cervical cancers [2]. The association between cancer of the uterine cervix and HPV is unique because no other human cancer is dependent on a single infectious factor for its development [3]. Worldwide, HPV types 16 an...

Procedure of uterine artery embolization is performed by radiologists. X-ray fluoroscopy, arteriography and embolization are performed via a percutaneous right femoral artery approach using local anaesthesia and intravenous sedation. Both internal iliac arteries are in turn selectively catheterised and limited arteriography is obtained to identify the uterine arteries. Polyvinyl alcohol or gelo...

BACKGROUND The female genital tract is an uncommon site of involvement for extragenital malignancies. Ovarian, vaginal, and cervical metastasis has been described in the literature. Uterine corpus and, particularly, endometrial involvement are exceedingly rare. As the incidence of lung cancer is rising in the female population, metastatic uterine involvement by lung cancer is also being reporte...
