Ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) is a major histotype of endometriosis-associated ovarian carcinoma, yet the spatial distribution of cancer-associated mutations and the clonal relatedness of synchronous endometrial and ovarian carcinoma…
Abstract Objective To evaluate the feasibility of selective removal of endometriotic lesions using the Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA® Clarity) in ovarian endometriomas, with a focus on histological preservation of normal ovar…
BACKGROUND/AIM: Patients with uterine sarcoma comprise 2-5% of all patients with uterine malignancies; however, the morbidity of uterine sarcoma is low compared with that of other gynecological cancers. For many cases, malignant uterine tum…
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 …
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…
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…
Somatic mutations in the ARID1A tumor-suppressor gene have been frequently identified in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) cases. BAF250a encoded by ARID1A is a member of the SWI/SNF complex, but the expression and mutation status of other…
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…
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…
Primary mucinous adenocarcinomas of the uterine corpus are typically low grade and frequently associated with endometrial hyperplasia and/or ordinary endometrioid adenocarcinoma, but may appear as a heterogeneous group of neoplasms. A case …
