A mural solid component (SC) within an endometrioma (ovarian endometriotic cyst), demonstrating internal vascularity or increased fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET), is considered a characteristic finding …
Uterine adenofibroma was previously classified as a benign mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor, but the WHO removed it from its fifth edition due to diagnostic overlap with low-grade adenosarcoma or benign polyps. We report a case of a 2…
BACKGROUND: Adenosarcoma is classified as a mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor composed of a benign epithelial component and a malignant stromal component. The stromal component in adenosarcoma is usually low grade, and consequently the…
PURPOSE: Although laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) has been performed for patients with cervical cancer because of its minimal invasiveness, a recent large prospective study showed that LRH was associated with a lower rate of disease…
BACKGROUND: It is well known that ovarian mature cystic teratomas (MCTs) occasionally go through malignant transformations. Among these, approximately 75% of histological types are squamous cell carcinoma, with the other types being excepti…
Clinical differentiation between decidualized endometrioma and malignant transformation still poses difficulties as both are intracystic vascularized excrescences of an endometrial cyst and exhibit similar characteristics on color-flow Dopp…
BACKGROUND: Cell lines are very useful for clinical and basic research. Thus far, only 11 reports have documented the characteristics of ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma cell lines in the literature. Due to the scarcity of information, t…
Multicystic mesothelioma was described as a benign neoplasm in most reports. But, whether it is neoplastic or reactive is still controversial. Although multicystic mesothelioma is often accompanied by endometriosis, histologic findings of t…
OBJECTIVE: In this study, the authors discussed the feasibility and value of diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging in the detection of uterine endometrial cancer in addition to conventional nonenhanced MR images. METHODS AND MATERIALS: DW ima…
We report a case of adenomatoid tumor of the uterus. MR images demonstrated a cystic mass with septae attached to the posterior wall of the uterus, making it difficult to distinguish from a malignant ovarian tumor. However, normal bilateral…
BACKGROUND: Transcatheter arterial embolization has been the therapy of choice for uterine arteriovenous malformations, whereas medical therapy has not been popular because of patient propensity to bleed. CASE: A 29-year-old woman, gravida…
In Brief BACKGROUND Transcatheter arterial embolization has been the therapy of choice for uterine arteriovenous malformations, whereas medical therapy has not been popular because of patient propensity to bleed. CASE A 29-year-old woman, g…
The effects of two kinds of erythropoietin (EPO), and the effectiveness and safety of predeposit autologous blood transfusion (PAT) were examined in patients with uterine myoma or endometriosis who underwent simple total hysterectomy. EPO w…
The safety and efficacy of intraoperative autologous blood transfusion in abdominal simple total hysterectomy for endometriosis were examined. Four patients were treated using intraoperative salvage apparatus, Cell Saver, Haemo Lite 2. Bloo…
