Three women, 37, 44, and 46 years of age, had masses up to 4 cm in maximal size, which involved the posterior wall of the urinary bladder, treated by transurethral resection. Microscopic examination showed prominent involvement of the lamin…
A total of 37 cases of ovarian primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)-19 associated with a dermoid cyst (SCCD), seven associated with endometriosis (SCCE), and 11 pure (SCCP)-are described. The last 18 cases belong within the new World Healt…
After a diagnosis of endocervical adenocarcinoma was made on examination of a curettage specimen, a 46-year-old woman underwent laparotomy for the purpose of radical hysterectomy. After frozen section of a biopsy specimen obtained from a no…
A 35-yr-old woman with a history of endometriosis and several recent episodes of hematuria was found to have an exophytic tumor arising from the mucosa of the posterior bladder wall. Microscopic examination showed a typical clear cell adeno…
Five ovarian tumors were associated with florid mesothelial hyperplasia that in four cases created initial problems in histologic classification and staging of the tumors. In two cases, small nests, cords, and gland-like arrangements of aty…
We describe five cervical adenocarcinomas with unusual, deceptively benign histological features that occurred in women 34 to 42 years of age and caused problems in interpretation. The tumors were incidental findings in hysterectomy or cone…
Six tumor-like glandular lesions characterized by a prominent component of endocervical-type epithelium involved the wall of the urinary bladder in women of reproductive age (31 to 44 years; mean, 37). All of the lesions posed problems in h…
Six adenocarcinomas of the fallopian tube that resembled the female adnexal tumor of probable wolffian origin are described. The tumors, which occurred in patients from 38 to 66 (average 55) years of age, typically formed intraluminal masse…
Diverse nonneoplastic glandular lesions of the uterine cervix may occasionally be misinterpreted as premalignant or malignant. These processes include papillary endocervicitis, tunnel clusters, deep glands and deep nabothian cysts, microgla…
Six cases of endometriosis of the uterine cervix characterized by the exclusive or almost exclusive presence of endometriotic stroma are reported. These cases of "stromal endometriosis" were encountered in women 29 to 64 (mean, 43) years of…
