Atypical endometriosis (A-EMS), defined by cytologic atypia and/or crowded glands resembling endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia, remains poorly understood. We aimed to refine the morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features o…

Mullerian adenosarcoma is a biphasic neoplasm composed of benign or atypical Müllerian epithelium and a malignant mesenchymal component that is usually, but not always, of low grade. Focal architectural or cytologic atypia of the epithelial…

High-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC) of the endometrium are rare and account for <1% of all endometrial carcinomas. Both small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) morphologies have bee…

The current World Health Organization (WHO) classification for endocervical adenocarcinoma (EA) is based on descriptive morphologic characteristics; however, it does not fully reflect our current knowledge of the diverse pathogenesis of cer…

Mesonephric adenocarcinoma most commonly arises in the cervix and is presumed to be derived from normal or hyperplastic mesonephric remnants. It is characterized by recurrent KRAS mutations and lack of PIK3CA/PTEN alterations. Adenocarcinom…

Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcaemic type (SCCOHT) is a lethal and sometimes familial ovarian tumour of young women and children. We and others recently discovered that over 90% of SCCOHTs harbour inactivating mutations in the …

GATA3 is a transcription factor critical for embryogenesis, development, and cell differentiation. Recent studies have suggested that GATA3 is a sensitive and relatively specific biomarker for urothelial and breast carcinomas, with most Mül…

When classifying cellular uterine mesenchymal neoplasms, histological distinction of endometrial stromal from smooth muscle neoplasms can be difficult. The only widely established marker of endometrial stromal differentiation, CD10, has mar…

Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) characterized by YWHAE-FAM22 genetic fusion is histologically higher grade and clinically more aggressive than ESS with JAZF1-SUZ12 or equivalent genetic rearrangements, hence it is clinically important to …

Patients with low-stage, low-grade endometrial adenocarcinomas have a favorable prognosis; however, a subset has a risk of recurrence and death. We were interested in evaluating patterns of myometrial invasion and correlating them with clin…

BACKGROUND: Power morcellation has become a common technique for the minimally invasive resection of uterine leiomyomas. This technique is associated with dissemination of cellular material throughout the peritoneum. When morcellated uterin…

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder characterized by ectopic endometrium associated with pelvic pain and infertility. The pathogenesis of endometriosis is unclear, and several genetic, endocrine, immune, and environmental agents …

The epithelial cells of ovarian mucinous carcinomas may sometimes appear similar to those of gastrointestinal or endocervical mucinous carcinomas, but most are composed of cells that do not suggest any particular derivation. We report four …

Adenomyosis may be involved by endometrial adenocarcinoma, but in contrast to true myometrial invasion, the depth of an adenomyotic focus involved by carcinoma does not alter pathologic tumor staging. Therefore, distinction from carcinoma i…
