INTRODUCTION Uterine adenosarcoma is a rarely observed polypoid tumor with a mixed benign epithelial element and malignant stromal component. The treatment is total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. It could be difficult to diagnose and associated to lymphovascular invasion. CASE PRESENTATION A 45-year-old caucasian uniparous woman presented with uterine bleeding. She had sev...

An 84-year-old gentleman presented with onset of gross hematuria in September 2010. Follow-up investigations revealed T1 superficially invasive, poorly differentiated, papillary urothelial carcinoma. He subsequently had GreenLight laser for BPH and bladder neck contracture on two occasions. He developed a right hydrocele 16 months after initial presentation and during his hydrocelectomy, a rock...

Uterine serous carcinoma (USC) represents only about 10% of endometrial cancer cases. It is an aggressive tumor with a poor prognosis that is diagnosed in advanced stages in about 40% of the cases and it accounts for a disproportionate number of uterine cancer-related deaths. Even in apparent clinical early stage disease, USC is found to have unfavorable pathological prognostic factors such as ...

Malignant melanoma can metastasize to virtually any organ of the body. The aggressiveness is determined by the primary site, depth of dermal invasion, presence or absence of ulceration, lymphovascular infiltration and regional lymph node involvement. We report a case of a pregnant woman with a previous history of stage 3 melanoma who presented with cardiac metastasis and placental melanoma infi...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to analyse and validate the prognostic impact and effect of the initial recurrence site of lymphovascular and visceral pleural invasion (VPI) on survival outcomes for Stage I non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 433 patients undergoing resection of Stage I NSCLC. The relationship between the clinicopathological background and t...

BACKGROUND The role of frozen section (FS) in intraoperative decision making for surgical staging of endometrial cancer is controversial. Objective of this study is to assess the agreement rate between the FS and paraffin section (PS); and the potential impact of the role of FS in the intra-operative decision making for the complete surgical staging in low risk endometrial cancer. METHODS Thi...

There are different types of tumoral growth patterns invading host tissue. During tumor infiltration, cancer cells not only destroy the pre-existing extracellular matrix, but usually induce new matrix formation by activating the peritumoral stromal cells; that is, desmoplastic stromal reaction (DSR) at the front of invasion (juxtatumoral stroma). This study evaluates the association between dif...

BACKGROUND AND AIM This study was conducted to determine the clinicopathologic factors affecting the stage of ulcerative early gastric cancer (EGC), focusing on the relationships between cancer stage and degree of endoscopic ulcer depth and morphologic changes. METHODS Medical records of 183 cases of ulcerative EGC who had received endoscopic examination two or more times with a minimum inter...

Granulosa cell tumours are extremely rare and very few cases of adult type have been reported till date . can broadly classified into juvenile types. They known to occur more commonly occurs in females (in ovaries) than males testis) We here a case 39 year old man who was diagnosed with testicular granulose tumour no metastasis A High Inguinal radical Orchidectomy performed histology demonstrat...
