BACKGROUND: Paget's disease (EMPD) of the vulva primarily affects postmenopausal women and can present significant challenges in early clinical detection.Case Presentation: We report an exceedingly rare case of invasive acantholytic extrama…

Tubulo-squamous polyp (TSP) of vagina is a rare, benign, upper vaginal lesion of postmenopausal women. The origin of TSP is unclear, and the lesion is hypothesized to be arising from misplaced prostate-like vaginal skene glands. We describe…

BACKGROUND: Malignant Brenner tumor (MBT) with extensive clear cell features mimicking an ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is exceedingly rare. This case report discusses the diagnostic challenges associated with this unusual histologic f…

OBJECTIVE: A review of the clinical-pathologic characteristics and outcomes of biphasic polyps occurring in the female genital tract, not meeting the diagnostic criteria of Mullerian Adenosarcoma (MA). METHODS: An archival database search …

AIMS: Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a recently described histologic tumor subtype of the Müllerian tract. MLA can arise in association with Müllerian lesions that share common mutations. We report three MLAs and hypothesize that …

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic neoplasm in developed countries; however, updated universal guidelines are currently not available to handle specimens obtained during the surgical treatment of patients affected by this dis…

Although endometrial carcinoma (EC) is generally considered to have a good prognosis, over 20% of women with EC die of their disease, with a projected increase in both incidence and mortality over the next few decades. The aim of accurate p…

•Mullerian carcinosarcoma can occur in extragenital sites.•Malignant transformation of endometriosis is common in the rectosigmoid area.•MLH1 hypermethylation has been implicated in endometriosis-associated carcinomas.•Adequate sampling is …

Ovarian hyperthecosis, a source of estrogen, may occur in postmenopausal women. In this study, we evaluated the possible association of ovarian hyperthecosis with endometrial polyp, endometrial hyperplasia, and endometrioid adenocarcinoma i…

Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive alternative to hysterectomy for abnormal uterine bleeding. Although the failure rate is low, continued bleeding or development of pelvic pain after ablation does occur. We analyzed the clinicopat…

UNLABELLED: A 45 year old woman underwent Laparoscopy-assisted total hysterectomy with staging procedure following a diagnosis of endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma on her endometrial biopsy. The hysterectomy specimen showed a FIGO I s…

UNLABELLED: Intestinal differentiation in the endometrium is rare with only case reports in the international literature. We describe a case of simultaneous endocervical and intestinal-type mucinous differentiation with goblet cells arising…

UNLABELLED: Clear cell carcinomas (CCC) of the mullerian system are considered high grade tumors, but morphologically, the cells of CCC show both low and high grade features. The aims of the current study were to categorize CCC into low and…

Liesagang-like rings (LR) are periodic structures with equally spaced radial striations formed by a process that involves diffusion, nucleation, flocculation or precipitation, and supersaturation. Being more common in vitro, on rare occasio…

We encountered 2 unusual cases of polypoid endometriosis presenting as unilateral ovarian masses. The first was benign and was found in a 57-year-old postmenopausal patient; the second case gave rise to well-differentiated endometrioid carc…

We encountered two cases of endometrioid carcinoma of uterus with extensive surface epithelial changes (SECs) mimicking serous borderline tumor (SBT) of the ovary. The first case was a well-differentiated endometrioid carcinoma arising in a…

BACKGROUND: Autoimmune oophoritis is characterized by an ovarian lymphocytic infiltrate and is a rare finding in women with premature ovarian failure. Eosinophilic perifolliculitis is a possible variant of autoimmune oophoritis, of which th…

OBJECTIVES: Benign and malignant serous and endometrioid epithelial proliferations are found in the omentum, where their presence may be interpreted either as metastases from Müllerian tumors elsewhere or as primary peritoneal tumors. The p…
