INTRODUCTION: We report an unexpected case of mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma initially treated as a diffuse adenomyosis in a patient presenting with primary infertility. The aim of this report is to raise clinical awareness about the risk …
Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS) can present diagnostic challenges, due to its overlapping morphological features with other uterine mesenchymal tumors. Misdiagnosis rates remain significant, and immunohistochemical data for L…
The International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) introduced a new staging system for endometrial carcinoma FIGO 2023 in June 2023. The new staging system differs significantly from previous versions by incorporating other n…
BACKGROUND: Clear cell (hemangioblastoma-like) stromal tumor of the lung (CCSTL) is a rare pulmonary neoplasm. Recently, 9 cases of CCSTL harboring the YAP1-TFE3 gene fusion have been described, and it has been suggested that this aberratio…
We report a rare case of primary nodal, poorly differentiated endometrioid carcinoma associated with Lynch syndrome. A 29-year-old female patient was referred by her general gynecologist for further imaging with suspected right-sided ovaria…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical and reproductive outcomes of patients treated with myomectomy who were histologically diagnosed with uterine smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP). METHODS…
PURPOSE: We aimed to compare the learning curves of an ultrasound trainee (obstetrics and gynecology resident) and a radiology trainee when assessing pelvic endometriosis. METHODS: Consecutive patients with suspected endometriosis were pro…
BACKGROUND: Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (M-LAC) is a rare, recently described tumor occurring in the uterine corpus and ovary, which shares the same morphological and immunohistochemical features with the more common mesonephric adenoca…
Expert ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have similar accuracy when staging deep endometriosis (DE). This study aimed to assess the interobserver agreement between trainee and experienced examiner(expert) and the learning curv…
The criteria for distinction between independent primary tumors and metastasis from one site to the other in synchronous endometrioid endometrial and ovarian carcinoma (SEO) has been a matter of dispute for a long time. In our study we perf…
First up to date study comparing diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance (MR) using standardised IDEA group nomenclature. All patients planned for surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) were enrolled in the …
BACKGROUND: HNF-1β is a commonly used marker in the differential diagnosis of clear cell carcinoma of the ovary and endometrium. Recent studies have found HNF-1β expression to a lesser extent in other ovarian and endometrial tumors includin…
Borderline ovarian tumors represent a heterogeneous group of noninvasive tumors of uncertain malignant potential with characteristic histology. They occur in younger women, are present at an early stage, and have a favorable prognosis, but …
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is an effective and accepted treatment option for symptomatic uterine leiomyoma. Between 2000 and 2005, 91 women were treated using this method, and were prospectively followed at our institution. Twenty of…
