The microcystic adnexal carcinoma is a rare, locally aggressive malignant adnexal neoplasm associated with significant morbidity. It is often underdiagnosed due to clinical and histopathological resemblance with other cutaneous neoplasms and/or a combination of lack of familiarity associated with inadequate samples. We report a case with clinical hypothesis of scarring alopecia and histopatholo...

We investigated the organization of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) and the T cell receptor beta chain (T beta) gene loci in 20 ocular adnexal and four extraocular lymphoid neoplasms obtained from 18 patients presenting with an ocular adnexal lymphoid neoplasm. Fifteen ocular adnexal and four extraocular lymphoid neoplasms occurring in 13 patients were classified by morphological examinati...

Background. Diagnosing adnexal tumours of the skin is a challenge due to their wide variety, infrequent occurrence in practice, and confusing morphological picture. Aims and Objectives. The present study aims to observe the spectrum of adnexal tumours at our institute and to evaluate them based on histomorphological, histochemical, and immunohistochemical methods either alone or in combination ...

Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a distinct form of malignant skin neoplasm. The clinicopathological significance of cutaneous adnexal involvement in EMPD has not been investigated in detail. Surgical specimens were obtained from 53 patients with primary EMPD. Tumor involvement of cutaneous adnexal structures was evaluated using histological parameters. The degree of involvement was score...

INTRODUCTION Adnexal torsion is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain during pregnancy. The clinical and laboratory findings are non-specific. In this paper we present a case of adnexal torsion in the first trimester of pregnancy. CASE OUTLINE On admission, the patient presented signs of acute abdomen.The pain started few hours prior to admission, and was predominantly localized, occasionally ...

Bilateral adnexal torsion is a rare event in children. A high index of suspicion, together with prompt surgical treatment, would help to save the ovaries and preserve its function. We report a case of entangled bilateral adnexal torsion managed successfully via laparoscopy. An 11-year-old premenarchal girl complained of chronic intermittent abdominal pain that worsened over 24 hours. Computed t...

We used a retrospective analysis to evaluate the efficacy of a wound retractor used in gasless laparoscopic-assisted surgery by the subcutaneous abdominal wall-lift method for the management of large cystic adnexal tumors. In the department of gynecology at a general hospital, 39 patients with large cystic adnexal tumors with an excised tissue weight including cystic contents exceeding 1000 g w...

OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to evaluate the accuracy of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) on a 16-row CT scanner in the detection and differentiation of adnexal masses. METHODS We prospectively examined 102 consecutive women with clinically or sonographically detected adnexal masses. Preoperative CT examination was performed, including scanning of the abdomen during the portal p...

AIM To investigate the potential usefulness of contrast-enhanced three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler sonography in the differentiation of benign and malignant adnexal lesions. METHODS Thirty one patients with complex adnexal lesions of uncertain malignancy at transvaginal B-mode and/or color Doppler sonography were prospectively evaluated with three-dimensional power Doppler sonography befor...

INTRODUCTION Although few cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with clear cells have been published, we believe that these cells are often present in SCC. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied 249 SCCs, analyzing a number of clinical and histological variables. Various immunohistochemical techniques (immunoperoxidase method) were used to determine whether adnexal differentiation was present. RE...
