While synchronous ovarian and endometrial endometrioid carcinomas (ECs) have long been described in the literature, ovarian or endometrial EC involving concomitant endocervical polyp (ECP) has not yet been reported. This study aimed to inve…

Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) arising in the ovary is a rare malignant tumor of the female genital tract. Although the clinicopathological and molecular characteristics of uterine MLA have been accumulated, those of ovarian MLA have…

Background/aimSome metastatic tumors that involve the fallopian tube show intraepithelial spread, mimicking primary tubal neoplasm and representing a potential diagnostic pitfall. In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinicopathologic…

Minimal uterine serous carcinomas (MUSCs) include serous carcinomas with invasion confined to the endometrium (superficial serous carcinoma) and those without stromal invasion (serous endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma). Although these t…

Estrogen affects endometrial cellular proliferation by regulating the expression of the c-myc gene. B-cell translocation gene 1 (BTG1), a translocation partner of the c-myc, is a tumor suppressor gene that promotes apoptosis and negatively …

Background: Repair of DNA double strand break (DSB) is an important mechanism for maintaining genetic stability during a DNA damage event. Although, a growing body of recent evidence suggests that DNA DSBs and related repair mechanisms may …

Adenomyoma is a benign neoplasm composed of endometrial-type glands, specialized endometrial-type stroma, and well-formed smooth muscle bundles. This tumor typically originates within the uterus, whereas extrauterine adenomyoma is an unusua…

Alterations in p16 protein expression have been reported to be associated with tumor development and progression. However, p16 expression status in the peritumoral stroma has been rarely investigated. We investigated the stromal p16 express…

Here we describe an unusual case of decidualized endometriosis detected in pelvic lymph nodes. The presence of intranodal ectopic decidua in pregnant women has been described. A few cases of decidualization of endometriotic foci in the pelv…

We report here an unusual presentation of peritoneal endometriosis with smooth muscle metaplasia as multiple protruding masses on the lateral pelvic wall. Smooth muscle metaplasia is a common finding in rectovaginal endometriosis, whereas i…

A uterus-like mass (ULM) is a central cavity lined by endometrial glands and stroma and surrounded by thick-walled smooth muscles. To date, 31 cases of ULM have been reported in the English literature. ULM typically presents as a single mas…
