INTRODUCTION: Diaphragmatic and thoracic endometriosis (DTE) is considered rare, often presenting with non-specific cyclical thoracic symptoms. Diagnosis and surgical management remain challenging due to the need for cross-specialty experti…
Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is an uncommon malignancy accounting for ∼12% of ovarian carcinomas. Most cases arise from endometriosis, frequently an endometriotic cyst. We report a series of 6 cases where clear cell proliferations, morphologi…
IMPORTANCE: Advanced clear cell gynecological cancers (CCGCs) have a poor prognosis, with response rates to second-line chemotherapy less than 8%. Preliminary clinical activity with programmed cell death 1 protein (PD-1) inhibitors reported…
The use of molecular testing to direct diagnosis and treatment options in ovarian tumours has rapidly expanded in recent years, in particular with regard to the recommendation for routine homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) testing in…
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…
BACKGROUND: Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy is the 'gold standard' for preventing tubo-ovarian cancer in women at increased risk. However, when performed in pre-menopausal women, it results in premature menopause and associated detrimen…
The exact timing and contribution of epigenetic reprogramming to carcinogenesis are unclear. Women harbouring BRCA1/2 mutations demonstrate a 30-40-fold increased risk of high-grade serous extra-uterine Müllerian cancers (HGSEMC), otherwise…
