BACKGROUND: Müllerianadenosarcoma is a rare pelvic malignancy that most commonly arises from the endometrium. These tumors are relatively insensitive to chemotherapy and radiation and are primarily treated by surgical resection. We report a…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the clinical significance of the presence of benign endometrial cells in the Pap smears of postmenopausal women. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the clinical outcome of 297 postm…

OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis-associated ovarian carcinoma (EAOC) has recently received increasing attention due to its suggested biological behavior, distinctive from those of usual epithelial ovarian cancer. To elucidate some of the controver…

BACKGROUND: Mesodermal (müllerian) adenosarcoma arising from the peritoneum is rare and is thought to arise from pluripotent mesothelial and mesenchymal cells of the pelvic cavity or from endometriotic deposits. CASE: A case of primary per…

OBJECTIVES: The coexistence of carcinomas of the endometrium and ovary occurs in about 10% of women with ovarian carcinoma. It is often unclear whether this represents synchronous primary tumors or metastasis from endometrium to ovary, or f…

OBJECTIVE: Steroid sulfatase (STS) is an important enzyme that converts biological inactive steroid sulfate to active free steroid. As estrogen is thought to play an important role in cell proliferation in gynecological cancer, the existenc…

OBJECTIVE: DNA methylation in the promoter regions of many genes is associated with the regulation of gene expression. We examined the frequency of DNA hypermethylation at two nucleotide positions, the proximal promoter region (PPR) in exon…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was the evaluation of endometrial histopathologic findings from 700 patients treated with tamoxifen (Tx) for breast cancer from two medical centers (United States and France). METHODS: A retrospective revie…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is extremely common in developed countries. Obesity is a major health concern and may cause hyperestrogenism. Hormonal replacement, particularly unopposed estrogens after hysterectomy, is becoming popular. Because e…

OBJECTIVE: Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma is an uncommon, indolent uterine sarcoma that can arise in extrauterine locations. The objective of this study was to report on a previously unpublished site of origin for a low-grade endomet…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the incidence, the histopathological characteristics, and the proliferation activity of endometriosis and atypical endometriosis associated with ovarian carcinoma. METHODS: Microscopi…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the effect that preoperative hysteroscopy has on the frequency of positive cytology at the time of definitive surgical management in endometrial cancer. METHODS: Charts of 222 patients with…

OBJECTIVE: Malignant transformation of endometriosis has been well documented. Endometrioid adenocarcinoma is the most common malignancy to occur in this setting, although other carcinomas and rarely stromal tumors can be seen. We present t…

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…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the follow-up methods and results of atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance (AGUS) detected on cervicovaginal Pap smears. METHODS: From May 1991 to December 1…

We present a case of a 62-year-old G0P0 Caucasian woman who developed endometrial adenocarcinoma, FIGO grade 2, endometrioid type, after receiving tamoxifen for 2 years following a diagnosis of invasive carcinoma and ductal carcinoma in sit…

The widely favored hypothesis that ovarian epithelial tumors arise from the mesothelial cell layer lining the ovarian surface fails to explain the resemblance of these tumors to those arising in organs that are embryologically derived from …

Thymidine phosphorylase (dThdPase) expression was studied in 20 cases of well-differentiated endometrial carcinomas to examine the clinicopathological significance. Immunohistochemical study showed predominant dThdPase expression in tumor s…

BACKGROUND: Extraovarian malignant transformation of endometriosis is a rare event; 52 cases have been reported. We describe the first published account in the world literature of an endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) arising in the vulva fr…
