OBJECTIVE: Epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs) are, although still treated as a single disease entity, often classified into type I tumors (low-grade serous, mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell) and type II tumors (high-grade serous, undiffere…
We will describe a case of a patient diagnosed with a rare identity of a benign lesion, "reactive nodular fibrous pseudotumor" (RNFP). It is a tumor which preoperatively can present as a malignant tumor and is only reported in 19 cases. Acc…
OBJECTIVES: To describe sonographic characteristics of malignant transformation in endometrioid cysts. METHODS: Women with a histological diagnosis of ovarian endometrioid cysts, borderline tumors arising in endometrioid cysts and carcinom…
BACKGROUND: The development of cancer from adenomyotic foci is a rare occurrence. The diagnosis is frequently delayed because of the absence of tumor in the eutopic endometrium. CASE REPORT: We present a case of a 64-year-old postmenopausal…
Innervation of deep endometriosis has recently been linked to its severe pain symptoms. We demonstrated for the first time that the Wilms' tumor gene 1 is overexpressed in part of these nerves.
BACKGROUND: Ovarian squamous cell carcinoma is usually derived from a teratoma, a Brenner tumour or endometriosis. Association with an HPV infection is rare. CASE: A fourth case of ovarian squamous cell cancer associated with HR-HPV is pre…
For several decades, endometriosis has been suspected of playing a role in the aetiology of ovarian cancer. The literature concerning a possible histogenesis of ovarian cancer from benign endometriosis is reviewed in this chapter. Epidemiol…
BACKGROUND: Endometrium can adhere to autologous peritoneum. This study was undertaken to determine the effect of the menstrual cycle phase and the presence and stage of endometriosis on in-vitro adhesion of endometrium onto autologous peri…
In a prospective study, the concentrations of CA 125, 17 beta-oestradiol and progesterone were assayed in 52 consecutive ovarian cysts, laparoscopically suspected to be endometriomas. Cysts with dark brown 'chocolate' fluid (n = 42) were ex…
Three cases of papillary carcinoma of the prostate (also called endometrial adenocarcinoma of the prostate; endometrioid carcinoma) were studied for prostate-specific antigen in order to determine their origin and histogenesis. All 3 cases …
