Lymphomas of the ocular adnexa are a heterogeneous group of malignancies, composing approximately 1% to 2% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) and 8% of extranodal lymphomas. The most common subtype, accounting for up to 80% of cases of primary ocular adnexal lymphoma, is marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type. In the recent past, there have been significant advance...

Objective. The aim of this study was correlation of skin adnexal tumors with age, sex, and location and determining its incidence in the Department of Pathology at Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College and Hospital, Kolhapur, Maharashtra. Material and Methods. 56 cases were included in this study from Jan 2004 to June 2010 with respect to incidence of adnexal tumors, age, and sex distribution. All sl...

PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the ADNEX MR scoring system for the prediction of adnexal mass malignancy, using a simplified magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol. METHODS In this prospective study, 200 patients with 237 adnexal masses underwent MRI between February 2014 and February 2016 and were followed until February 2017. Two radiologists calculated ADNEX MR scores using an MRI protoco...

Objective: This prospective study was undertaken to assess the sensitivity and specificity of color flow mapping and pulse Doppler waveform in identifying malignancy preoperatively in adnexal masses in perimenopausal women. Materials and methods: A total of 100 cases with adnexal masses in perimenopausal women were scanned, underwent color flow mapping and pulsed Doppler waveform studies. These...

Complex adnexal cystic masses in women of reproductive age should be carefully evaluated before the final diagnosis is set. Adnexal are not necessary malignant. On contrary, they usually refer to a benign and cancerous pathology. A certain pathology behind endometriosis. Endometriosis occurs 10-15% presents great diversity both way it manifests its location. We report case multiparous woman tha...

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic treatment for adnexal cystic masses that were predicted to be benign in postmenopausal women. Postmenopausal women found to have an adnexal cystic mass were retrospectively evaluated with transvaginal ultrasonography, and serum CA-125 levels. The selection criteria were adnexal cystic masses greater than 3 cm but less t...

BACKGROUND Preoperative characterization of complex solid and cystic adnexal masses is crucial for informing patients about possible surgical strategies. Our study aims to determine the usefulness of apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) for characterizing complex solid and cystic adnexal masses. METHODS One-hundred and 91 patients underwent diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) ima...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Our objective was to review the surgical management, surgical outcomes, and obstetric outcomes of adnexal masses in pregnancy. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of pregnant women before 20 weeks of gestation who underwent laparoscopy or laparotomy for management of an adnexal mass during the period of January 2005 to June 2012 at a university-affiliated ho...

1 ABSTRACT TMEM207 was first characterized as being an important molecule for the invasion activity of gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma cells. In order to unravel the pathological properties of TMEM207, we generated several transgenic mouse lines, designated C57BL/6-Tg (ITFTMEM207), in which murine TMEM207 was ectopically expressed under a truncated (by ~200 bp) proximal promoter of the murin...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment decisions made in children and adolescents with an adnexal mass. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study among patients younger than age 18 years who were diagnosed with or treated for an adnexal mass at the Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, the Netherlands, between January 1999 and October 2013. Age, signs and symptoms, labor...
