Metastatic low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma of uterus presenting as a primary pancreatic tumor: case presentation and literature review
Diagnostic pathology ·doi:10.1186/s13000-019-0807-3

BACKGROUND: Metastatic tumors to the pancreas are uncommon, accounting for approximately 2% of pancreatic malignancies. The most common primary tumors to give rise to pancreatic metastases are carcinomas. CASE PRESENTATION: A 50-year old f…

Frequent somatic mutations of the telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter in ovarian clear cell carcinoma but not in other major types of gynaecological malignancy
The Journal of Pathology ·doi:10.1002/path.4315

Up-regulated expression of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and subsequent maintenance of telomere length are essential in tumour development. Recent studies have implicated somatic gain-of-function mutations at the TERT promoter as …

Identifying Lynch syndrome in patients with ovarian carcinoma: the significance of tumor subtype
Advances in anatomic pathology ·doi:10.1097/PAP.0b013e3182a92cf8

Up to 15% of ovarian cancers are etiologically linked with hereditary susceptibility. Within this group, germline mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes, known otherwise as Lynch syndrome (LS), account for the majority of cases that are n…

Prevalence of Loss of Expression of DNA Mismatch Repair Proteins in Primary Epithelial Ovarian Tumors
International journal of gynecological pathology : official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists ·doi:10.1097/pgp.0b013e31824fe2aa

Although different histologic subtypes of epithelial ovarian tumors have long been recognized, their molecular abnormalities have not been fully defined. We examined the prevalence of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) protein loss in these tumors. …
