Endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) is a preinvasive precursor of endometrial carcinoma, yet its recognition in secretory-phase endometrium remains diagnostically challenging. Current criteria for EIN diagnosis do not account for f…

Endometrioid borderline tumors (EBTs) and seromucinous borderline tumors (SMBTs) are rare ovarian neoplasms with distinct histologic features. However, the molecular profiles of EBTs and SMBTs remain incompletely characterized. We performed…

BackgroundMesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a rare type of Müllerian carcinoma that poses significant diagnostic challenges, especially at extrauterine sites. Its morphologic and immunophenotypic overlap with other carcinomas can lea…

Endometriosis is a common condition, with the ovary being the most common anatomic site. Endometriosis-particularly in the ovary-is associated with a risk of malignant progression, with a histologic spectrum of lesions from benign to malign…

The diagnosis of atypical hyperplasia/endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasm (AH/EIN) within endometrial polyps (EMPs) often poses a diagnostic conundrum. Our previous studies demonstrated that a panel of immunohistochemical (IHC) markers co…

Clinical application of exogenous hormone as a method of contraception and/or treatment of various gynecologic disorders is exceedingly common. Unfortunately, the concurrent use of these agents also complicates the interpretation of patholo…

The endometrium is unique as an accessible anatomic location that can be repeatedly biopsied and where diagnostic biopsies do not extirpate neoplastic lesions. We exploited these features to retrospectively characterize serial genomic alter…

We previously showed, in a pilot study with publicly available data, that T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires from tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) could be distinguished from adjacent healthy tissue repertoires by the presence of TCRs b…

The diagnosis of endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) is challenging owing to limited sampling, hormonal status, and other confounding histologic variables. Markers such as PTEN or PAX2 can delineate EIN in some cases, but are not w…

BACKGROUND: Although cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma metastatic to the ovary have been previously documented, we report the first case of superficially invasive squamous cell carcinoma metastatic to the ovary. CASE PRESENTATION: …
