The incidence of cancer from adenomyosis is rare. Previously, only two cases of clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) arising from adenomyosis have been reported in English literature. Here, we report a case of CCA arising from adenomyosis. A 52-year-old postmenopausal Korean woman presented with complaints of vaginal bleeding and back pain. Endometrial biopsy revealed endometrial polyp with atrophic...

BACKGROUND/AIM Fractal dimension (FD) is widely used in medicine and biology as a tool for defining features of structure. This study aimed to compare pathological endometrium (simple-complex hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma), as well as the endometrial changes, during the phases of the menstrual cycle. The main goal was the objective measurement of fractal dimension and to refrain from su...

Metastasis to bone or synovial tissue in the distal extremity is a rare event for endometrial carcinoma. This case report involves a 76-year-old female with stage II endometrial cancer who developed persistent ankle pain after a transabdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Plain films were initially negative. An MRI several weeks later demonstrated an abnormality in the syno...

Endometrial curettings from 458 patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding were studied. This included 220 (48%) patients with metrorrhagia, 187 (41%) with menorrhagia, 30 (6%) with postmenopausal bleeding, 13 (3%) with intermenstrual bleeding and 8 (1.74%) with polymenorrhagia. The histological findings were correlated with the pattern of abnormal bleeding in five different age groups....

PURPOSE Although there is considerable information on the molecular aberrations associated with endometrial cancer, very little is known of the changes in gene expression associated with endometrial hyperplasia. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN To address this, we have compared the level of expression of estrogen-regulated genes and components of the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) signaling pathway ...

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer in Western industrialized countries. Cables, a cyclin-dependent kinase binding protein, plays a role in proliferation and/or differentiation. Cables mutant mice are viable, but develop endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma in situ at a young age. Exposure to chronic low levels of estrogen results in development of endometrial cancer, si...

Abstract We present a case report of an unexpected pathology in addition to rare complication 62-year-old female following anterior exenteration and abdominal wall reconstruction. Initial biopsies characterised the malignancy as potential urachal adenocarcinoma, but final revealed solitary endometrial adenocarcinoma metastasis from cancer 6 years previously. Due nature tumour, resection was req...

Background and Purpose: The frozen section analysis results help determine the appropriate surgery treatment for patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma. This study investigates degree of compliance between final pathology reports in cancer.
 Methods: included 357 adenocarcinoma who underwent operation, follow-up, at our hospital. patients’ demographic, clinical, surgical, pathological da...

from december 2000 until 2010, the researchers at royan institute conducted a wide range of investigations on ovarian tissue cryopreservation with the intent to provide fertility preservation to cancer patients that were considered to be candidates for these services. in 2010, royan institute established the royan human ovarian tissue bank as a subgroup of the embryology department. since its i...
