AIMS To analyse the clinical presentation, clinicopathological correlation and management of complex ovarian cysts in newborn and infants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Over a period of 6 years (2009-2015), 25 newborns who were diagnosed to have ovarian cyst on antenatal ultrasound, were followed up. We collected data in the form of clinical features, radiological findings, pathology and mode of trea...

Background: Massive cystic degeneration of the uterine myoma might mimic an ovarian tumor, especially a malignant causing misdiagnosis. We present case woman with marked leiomyoma mimicking neoplasm. Case: A 65-year-old (gravida 6, para 6) visited us due to abdominal tumor. Clinical examination and radiology exploration suggested presence tumour. The patient underwent total hysterectomy bilater...

Premature ovarian failure (POF) is one of the most common causes of infertility in women. In our present study, we established cyclophosphamide- (CTX-) induced POF rat model and elucidated its effect on ovarian function. We detected the serum estrogen, follicle stimulating hormone, and anti-Müllerian hormone of mice models by ELISA and evaluated their folliculogenesis by histopathology examinat...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate patient-related parameters that determine ovarian cyst formation in women using tamoxifen for breast cancer. METHODS A retrospective review of tamoxifen-treated women with breast cancer who were followed up in the outpatient clinic at Ankara Oncology Hospital between January 2002 and December 2004 was performed. Tamoxifen doses and duration,...

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy. On the basis of its histopathology and molecular-genomic changes, ovarian cancer has been divided into subtypes, each with distinct biology and outcome. The aim of this study was to develop a panel of patient-derived EOC xenografts that recapitulate the molecular and biologic heterogeneity of human ovarian cancer. Thirty...

Ovarian fibrothecoma is a relatively new term that is used to describe an ovarian sex cord stromal tumour that has mixed features of both fibroma and thecoma. The prevalence of ovarian fibrothecoma tumours is very rare and is reported to be about 1.2% of all ovarian tumours. We report a case of a 32-year-old woman who presented with acute menorrhagia with no previous medical, surgical or gyneco...

Introduction: Ovarian cancer is the third most common malignancy and second cause of death worldwide among gynecologic cancers.
 Materials & Methods: The study was a retrospective, during one-year period, from (January 2013 to December 2013). A total 106 cases ovarian were included collected Hospital Private histopathology laboratories in Sulaimaniyah, Erbil Kirkuk. Patient age ranged ...

There are differences between the histopathology of breast cancers in carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. The findings can be interpreted as breast cancer due to BRCA1 has a different natural history from BRCA2 or apparently sporadic disease, which may have implications for screening and management. Mutations in the BRCA1 gene were implicated as causes of different types of cancers including...

A multiscale segmentation strategy using wavelet-domain hidden Markov tree model and pairwise classifiers selection is tested in the present paper for histopathology virtual slide analysis. The classifiers selection is based on a study of the influence of hyper-parameters of the method. Combination of outputs of selected classifiers is then done with majority vote. The results of the segmentati...
