Histopathology

We describe a solid and cystic right ovarian mass removed from a 38-year-old woman. The solid component, which had a central cavity lined by endometriotic tissue and surrounded by a thick muscle wall, strongly resembled a miniature uterus. …

We report two cases of primary heterologous malignant mixed Müllerian tumour of the Fallopian tube. One of these was bilateral, a finding which, as far as we know, has not been reported before.

A case of primary intravesical endometrioid carcinoma is described, together with a review of the literature. This represents the fourth reported case of malignant transformation in vesical endometriosis.

Sertoliform endometrioid adenocarcinomas of the ovary are well recognized but, curiously, a sertoliform pattern has not previously been noted in endometrioid adenocarcinomas of the endometrium. An endometrial tumour is described which showe…

The occurrence and localization of IgA and secretory components (SC) were examined in the normal and in adenocarcinomas of Fallopian tube, endometrium and endocervix. IgA-containing immunocytes were identified in the stroma of 90% of normal…

The presence of mucosal hyperplasia and sialomucin goblet cell secretion (transitional mucosa) was assessed in various benign, premalignant and malignant colorectal tissues. Transitional mucosa was seen in diverticular disease, solitary ulc…

The difficulties of a consistent Müllerian interpretation of the epithelial ovarian tumours include their inconstant hormonal responsiveness, the doubtful nature of the clear cell tumour and the apparent rarity of benign endometrioid forms.…

Unusual mesothelial inclusions were observed in ovaries, fallopian tubes and pelvic wall in six out of 57 patients with endometriosis and in none of 100 ovaries without endometriosis. Although of the same origin as the common ovarian epithe…
