ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to investigate whether the presence of endometriosis is a prognostic factor in patients diagnosed with clear cell carcinoma (CCC) of the ovary.MethodsRetrospective chart review was performed to all patients…
Endometrial stromal tumours (ESTs) are diagnosed in most instances by light microscopy. Often, the greatest challenge is to distinguish between the different subtypes of these tumours. Furthermore, a handful of new or relatively new entitie…
Primary malignancies of the fallopian tube are extremely uncommon, in part due to (admittedly arbitrary) definitional criteria. By convention, epithelial tumors that involve the ovary or peritoneal surfaces are considered to have arisen eit…
BackgroundExtragastrointestinal stromal tumors (eGISTs) are rare mesenchymal-derived tumors arising outside of the GI tract. eGISTs are often histologically confused with leiomyosarcoma. Distinction between eGIST and leiomyosarcoma is criti…
In the female genital tract, CD10 was initially found to be expressed in endometrial stromal tumors of the uterus as well as in mesonephric remnants and related lesions and was thought to be helpful in distinguishing these tumors from their…
AIMS: In the female genital tract CD10 has been used to assist in the evaluation of mesenchymal tumours of the uterus and in determining whether endometrial stroma is present. CD10 positivity has also been shown in cervical mesonephric remn…
Carcinomas of the bladder that resemble clear cell carcinoma of mullerian type are rare. Whether such neoplasms 1) arise from mullerian elements in the bladder and are histogenetically identical to the female genital tract cancer, 2) are a …
Endometrial stromal tumors are reviewed with emphasis on their wide morphologic spectrum and problems in differential diagnosis, highlighting issues that have received particular attention in the recent literature. These neoplasms are divid…
Nineteen clear cell adenocarcinomas of the urethra, 18 from women and one from a man, are described. The patients ranged from 35 to 80 years of age (average, 58 yrs). The clinical presentation and gross findings were similar to those of ure…
