OBJECTIVE: Gynecologic cancers are traditionally managed according to their presumed site of origin, without regard to the underlying histologic subtype. Clear cell histology is associated with chemotherapy refractoriness and poor survival.…

Gynecologic carcinomas with RAS mutations may show a wide spectrum of histologic types, including mixed types. We present the case of a 63-yr-old patient diagnosed with an ovarian tumor harboring a mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma in a backg…

Cervical clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is a rare human papillomavirus-independent adenocarcinoma. While recent studies have focused on gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (GTA), little is known about CCC. A total of 58 (CCCs) were collect…

The incidence of endocervical adenocarcinoma, the second most common cervical cancer in the world, has been on the rise. While most cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas and associated with high-risk oncogenic human papillomavirus (…

The current World Health Organization (WHO) classification for endocervical adenocarcinoma (EA) is based on descriptive morphologic characteristics; however, it does not fully reflect our current knowledge of the diverse pathogenesis of cer…

Endocervical adenocarcinomas (ECAs) are currently classified according to the 2014 World Health Organization (WHO) system, which is predominantly based on descriptive morphologic characteristics, considers factors bearing minimal etiologica…

OBJECTIVE: Determining whether carcinomas concurrently involving endometrium and ovary are independent primary tumors (IPTs) or endometrial carcinomas with ovarian metastases (at least stage IIIA endometrial cancers, IIIA-EC) using clinicop…

Epithelial metastases originating from the gynecologic tract or secondarily involving it frequently display a different morphology when compared to the primary tumor. Furthermore, issues such as modes of metastasis, appropriate nomenclature…

The International Endocervical Adenocarcinoma Criteria and Classification was developed to separate endocervical adenocarcinomas (ECAs) into 2 main categories on the basis of morphology such as human papilloma virus-associated (HPVA) and no…

We sought to classify endocervical adenocarcinomas (ECAs) based on morphologic features linked to etiology (ie, human papillomavirus [HPV] infection), unlike the World Health Organization 2014 classification. The International Endocervical …

OBJECTIVE: The Silva invasion pattern-based classification system stratifies endocervical adenocarcinomas (ECAs) into 3 categories corresponding to risk of metastasis and recurrence, but has only been evaluated for HPV-associated ECAs of us…

BACKGROUND: We sought to evaluate the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy on overall survival (OS) in patients with stage I endometrioid epithelial ovarian cancer (EEOC) or ovarian clear cell cancer (OCCC) using a national database. PATIENTS A…

PURPOSE: To assess the utility of morphologic and quantitative CT features in differentiating abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) from other masses of the abdominal wall. METHODS: Retrospective IRB-approved study of 105 consecutive women fr…

Characteristic histopathologic features have been described in high-grade serous carcinoma associated with BRCA abnormalities (HGSC-BRCA), which are known to have relatively favorable clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate…

Many adnexal high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs) may derive from microscopic precursors in the fallopian tube. By studying a series of low-stage ovarian carcinomas, we anticipated that HGSCs would be distributed in a pattern suggesting sec…

Ovarian endometrioid carcinomas (OEC) of low grade have characteristic morphologic features, but high-grade tumors can mimic high-grade serous and undifferentiated carcinomas. We reviewed tumors initially diagnosed as OEC to determine wheth…
