Mesonephric-like carcinoma histologically resembles mesonephric adenocarcinoma (MA) of the cervix. MA arises from mesonephric duct remnants. However, the origin of mesonephric-like carcinoma is not extensively studied because of its rarity.…

BACKGROUND: Extragonadal endometriosis is a rare condition, and its disease manifestation and long-term prognosis have not been elucidated. We report an extragonadal endometriosis case controlled by drug therapy for 14 years with analysis o…

BACKGROUND: Historically, hysterectomy has been the radical treatment for adenomyosis. Although, some patients may not want to have their uterus removed, patients often have to no choice but to request hysterectomy during conservative treat…

Abstract Introduction Historically, hysterectomy has been the radical treatment for adenomyosis. However, some patients do not wish to hysterectomy. Nevertheless, patients often required hysterectomy during the course of conservative treatm…

Abstract Recent studies have reported cancer-associated mutations in normal endometrium. Mutations in eutopic endometrium may lead to endometriosis and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. We investigated PIK3CA mutations ( PIK3CA m) fo…

Recent studies have reported cancer-associated mutations in normal endometrium. Mutations in eutopic endometrium may lead to endometriosis and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. We investigated PIK3CA mutations (PIK3CAm) for three hot…

Background: Compartment syndrome is a condition in which an increased internal pressure in the upper/lower leg compartment results in circulatory disturbance causing muscle and nerve dysfunction. There have been five case reports of compart…

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) exhibits an association with endometriosis, resistance to oxidative stress, and poor prognosis owing to its resistance to conventional platinum-based chemotherapy. A greater understanding of the molecular …

Endometrial cysts (ECs) are thought to be the origin of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). A hypothesis that the oxidative stress of iron in cysts causes "malignant transformation of ECs" has been proposed, but this has not bee…

Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS) is a rare malignant disease and demonstrates various patterns in preoperative imaging. Therefore, accurate diagnosis is important. Given its unique form, we report a case of LG-ESS with a nodul…

[Abstract] Background: The significance of cystectomy for infertile patients with endometrioma remains controversial.Methods: Between 1997 and 2013, 852 female patients visited Kindai University Hospital and were treated for infertility, an…

Clear cell carcinoma of the ovary is a distinct histological subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer characterized by mutations in ARID1A and PIK3CA. These malignancies account for a larger proportion of cancers in Japan than in other areas of…

Endometrioid borderline tumours (EBTs) of the ovary are uncommon tumours of low malignant potential. They consist of atypical endometrioid cells lacking destructive stromal invasion. As the prognosis of EBT is excellent, excessive treatment…

The hypothesis on the pathogenesis of epithelial ovarian cancer continues to evolve. Although epithelial ovarian cancer had been assumed to arise from the coelomic epithelium of the ovarian surface, it is now becoming clearer that the major…

When compared with other epithelial ovarian cancers, the clinical characteristics of ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCC) include 1) a higher incidence among Japanese, 2) an as-sociation with endometriosis, 3) poor prognosis in advanced …

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a morphologically and biologically distinct subtype of ovarian carcinomas that often arises in ovarian endometriosis. We previously reported that a unique carcinogenic environment, especially iron-indu…

When compared with other epithelial ovarian cancers, the clinical characteristics of ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCC) include 1) a higher incidence among Japanese, 2) an association with endometriosis, 3) poor prognosis in advanced s…

A uterus-like mass is an extrauterine mass with a cavity lined by endometrial tissue and a smooth muscle layer resembling the uterine corpus. It is a rare condition of unknown histogenesis. Herein, we describe a case of clear cell carcinoma…
