vulvar cancer is a rare gynecological malignancy with mainly lymphatic spread. sentinel node mapping plays an important role in the management of this gynecological malignancy. in the current study, we reported our experience in sentinel node mapping of vulvar cancer and review the literature accordingly. since the introduction of sentinel node mapping to the surgical oncology community of our ...

As cancer development involves pathological vessel formation, 16 angiogenesis markers were evaluated as potential ovarian cancer (OC) biomarkers. Blood samples collected from 172 patients were divided based on histopathological result: OC (n = 38), borderline ovarian tumours (n = 6), non-malignant ovarian tumours (n = 62), healthy controls (n = 50) and 16 patients were excluded. Sixteen angioge...

No standard screening programs exist to detect vulvar carcinoma or its precursor lesions, and therefore gynecologists, dermatologists and other healthcare providers in this field should be aware of the clinical features, behavior and management of the different existing premalignant vulvar lesions, squamous vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN), vulvar Paget's disease and melanoma in situ.

MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 104 patients with adnexal masses were examined sonographically to evaluate for morphologic characteristics, as well as pulsatility indices (PI), and resistance indices (RI) over a period of 2 years, of w...

Sebaceous gland hyperplasia (SGH) is a benign condition that originates in the sebaceous follicles and occurs most commonly on the forehead and cheek. It is very rarely found in the genital region; however, a few case reports have described SGH of the vulva.
