Primary intestinal-type glandular lesions of the vagina are rare. We report a series of 14 lesions, including 1 intestinal-type polyp without neoplastic features, 3 adenomas (2 with high-grade dysplasia), and 10 adenocarcinomas. Patients ra…

This essay considers selected peritoneal lesions many of which were the subject of studies coauthored by Dr Robert E. Scully. His article on multilocular peritoneal inclusion cysts has largely led to these lesions being considered non-neopl…

Vaginal adenocarcinoma is the second most common primary cancer of the vagina, yet there has been very little study of most subtypes other than clear cell carcinoma. We reviewed 18 cases of primary vaginal endometrioid adenocarcinoma, in ou…

Although the histologic diagnosis of endometriosis is usually straightforward, many diagnostic problems can arise as a result of alterations or absence of its glandular or stromal components. The diagnostic difficulty in such cases can be c…

This contribution will cover a variety of uncommon tumors and tumor-like lesions of the ovary that can be associated with a myriad of diagnostic problems for the pathologist. A few of these lesions are not specific to the ovary and may be m…

We describe 24 cases of polypoid endometriosis, most of which were referred because of problems in differential diagnosis, particularly distinction from a low-grade müllerian neoplasm. The patients were 23 to 78 years (mean 52.5 years) of a…

This review considers the pathologic features of endometrioid carcinoma of the uterine corpus, which accounts for approximately 80% of endometrial adenocarcinomas, with an emphasis on its histologic features, recent advances, and problemati…

Endometriosis of the intestinal tract may mimic a number of diseases both clinically and pathologically. The authors evaluated 44 cases of intestinal endometriosis in which endometriosis was the primary pathologic diagnosis, and evaluated t…

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…

The clinicopathologic features of neoplasms arising in gastrointestinal endometriosis have not been well characterized. In this series, we report 17 cases of gastrointestinal endometriosis complicated by neoplasms (14 cases) or precancerous…

This report draws attention to two unusual features of the stromal component of endometriosis that can create problems in diagnosis. One of these is the exclusive presence of endometriotic stroma, so-called stromal endometriosis, that can o…

Four cases of endosalpingiosis presenting as masses that resembled neoplasms are described in women 20, 41, 43, and 74 years of age. Each case was referred in consultation because of difficulties in pathologic diagnosis. In two patients, mu…

Twenty cases of superficial endometriosis of the uterine cervix that occurred in patients from 20 to 51 (mean 37.1) years of age are described. The majority of the cases were seen in consultation and were usually referred because of diagnos…

Three women, 37, 44, and 46 years of age, had masses up to 4 cm in maximal size, which involved the posterior wall of the urinary bladder, treated by transurethral resection. Microscopic examination showed prominent involvement of the lamin…

Most cases of adenomyosis are easily recognized by the presence of intramyometrial aggregates of endometrial glands and endometrial stromal cells surrounded by hypertrophic smooth muscle. The authors report seven cases of adenomyosis with s…

After a diagnosis of endocervical adenocarcinoma was made on examination of a curettage specimen, a 46-year-old woman underwent laparotomy for the purpose of radical hysterectomy. After frozen section of a biopsy specimen obtained from a no…

Five ovarian tumors were associated with florid mesothelial hyperplasia that in four cases created initial problems in histologic classification and staging of the tumors. In two cases, small nests, cords, and gland-like arrangements of aty…

Six tumor-like glandular lesions characterized by a prominent component of endocervical-type epithelium involved the wall of the urinary bladder in women of reproductive age (31 to 44 years; mean, 37). All of the lesions posed problems in h…

Three cases of endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) with prominent glandular differentiation within the primary or recurrent tumors are described. Each case posed a problem in diagnosis and classification. The patients, who ranged in age from …

Diverse nonneoplastic glandular lesions of the uterine cervix may occasionally be misinterpreted as premalignant or malignant. These processes include papillary endocervicitis, tunnel clusters, deep glands and deep nabothian cysts, microgla…

Six cases of endometriosis of the uterine cervix characterized by the exclusive or almost exclusive presence of endometriotic stroma are reported. These cases of "stromal endometriosis" were encountered in women 29 to 64 (mean, 43) years of…
