PURPOSE To determine the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging characteristics of endometrial polyps and the accuracy of MR imaging in distinguishing endometrial polyps from endometrial carcinomas in a case-control study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cross-referencing pathology records with MR studies from two institutions disclosed 35 patients with surgically proved endometrial polyp or carcinoma after c...

A woman in her mid-60s presented with a bulky mass on the anterior abdominal wall. She had a previous incidental diagnosis of endometrial adenocarcinoma FIGO stage IB following a vaginal hysterectomy. Physical exam and imaging revealed a well circumscribed bulging tumour at the umbilical region, measuring 10 × 9 × 9 cm, with overlying intact skin and subcutaneous tissue. Surgical resection was ...

cality and glandular complexity in endometrial hyperplasia are associated with an increased risk of endometrial cancer [1,2]. Moreover, the possible existence of occult endometrial carcinoma or the risk of progression to carcinoma in complex or atypical endometrial hyperplasia has been a rationale to offer invasive surgery when a patient was found to have these histologic features [1]. Interest...

PURPOSE To evaluate the prognostic impact of peritoneal washing cytology in patients with endometrial and ovarian cancers. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively identified 86 individuals with ovarian carcinomas, ovarian borderline tumors and endometrial adenocarcinomas. The patients had been treated at Shahid Sadoughi Hospital and Ramazanzadeh Radiotherapy Center, Yazd, Iran between 2004 a...

Endometrial polyps are common pathologic findings in gynecologic pathology practice. Although malignant changes in these lesions are uncommon, numerous studies confirmed this association especially with endometrial serous and clear cell carcinoma. Two cases of malignant endometrial polyps in association with presumed precursor lesion in one of them are presented.

Endometrial carcinoma is the most common type of gynecological carcinomas. Several biological mechanisms trace the relationship between obesity and endometrial neoplastic risk. In surgical practice, there has been increasing interest concerning a group of cytokines as an independent prognostic factor for aggression and the possible therapeutic impact on the neoplastic process. The high-tech sur...

•Skin metastasis from an endometrial carcinoma is very rare and prognosis is poor.•This report describes clitoral metastasis from an endometrial adenocarcinoma.•Clitoral and distant metastases and the primary site were diagnosed concomitantly.
