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…
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…
Three cases of Liesegang rings (LRs) within the female genital tract are reported; only one similar case has been previously documented. The patients were 32-57 years of age and underwent operations for ovarian endometriosis (two cases) and…
The clinical and pathological features of four unusual cases of pelvic endometriosis are described. The patients, who were between the ages of 40 and 72 years, underwent operations for uterine leiomyomas in two cases, endometrial adenocarci…
The clinical and pathologic features and the differential diagnosis of uterine tumors containing mixed epithelial and mesenchymal elements are reviewed. The malignant mullerian mixed tumor (MMMT) is the most common neoplasm in this group, w…
The clinical and pathological features of three atypical polypoid adenomyomas of the uterus that were associated with Turner's syndrome are described. The patients, at least two of whom had been on long-term exogenous estrogens, were in the…
The clinical and pathological features of eight ovarian yolk sac tumors with glandular patterns resembling those of endometrioid adenocarcinoma are described. The patients ranged in age from 11 to 34 years (mean, 22 years) and presented wit…
The clinical and pathological features of an apparently unique case of an adenomyotic cyst of the uterus are reported. The cyst was located within the subserosal myometrium of a 39-year-old woman. Prior to hysterectomy, it had ruptured with…
This case study of a sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary in a 29-year-old woman demonstrates that the tumor was a functioning lesion that secreted estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. Clinically, there was anovulation with resultant…
Five extrauterine examples (three pelvic and two ovarian) of a distinctive mesodermal (müllerian) mixed tumor previously described to occur in the uterus and designated müllerian adenosarcoma are reported. The tumors were diagnosed during t…
