3/6. Endometrial adenocarcinoma with coexisting adenomatoid tumor of the uterus.BACKGROUND: Uterine adenomatoid tumors may be present in up to 1% of hysterectomy specimens, and their infiltrative pattern may simulate that of adenocarcinomas. CASE: This is a report on the coexistence of a uterine adenomatoid tumor and an endometrial adenocarcinoma, both chance findings in a 41-year-old woman undergoing hysterectomy because of a preoperative diagnosis of metrorrhagia due to leiomyomas. CONCLUSION: Although uterine adenomatoid tumors are believed to be rare, they may pose a differential diagnostic problem in the pathologic staging of endometrial carcinomas, because they form gland-like lumina and infiltrate the myometrium. To our knowledge, no previous coexistence of these two tumors has been reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2245603839712keywords = adenocarcinoma, carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/6. Menometrorrhagia in an oral contraceptive user.Endometrial carcinoma is the most frequent malignancy of the female reproductive tract, and irregular vaginal bleeding is the most common presenting symptom. Endometrial carcinoma is found most commonly among postmenopausal women and is associated with obesity, nulliparity, and anovulation. Oral contraceptive (OC) use and tobacco smoking have been reported to protect against endometrial carcinoma. Irregular vaginal bleeding is a common side effect of OC therapy. We report the case of an obese, premenopausal nulliparous woman with normal menses who developed menometrorrhagia and was then found to have endometrial carcinoma despite her youth and her use of both tobacco and combination OC.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.098241535884659keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/6. HPV 16 infection in a patient with two primary squamous cell carcinomas: of the uterine cervix and the anal mucosa.A 43-year-old woman presented with metrorrhagia and a polypoid anal tumor. Cervical dilatation and endocervical curettage and resection of the anal tumor revealed two primary squamous cell carcinomas: of the uterine cervix and the anal mucosa. HPV 16 was identified in both tumors using an in situ hybridization technique with probes against HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31 and 33. The cervical carcinoma was weakly positive for p53 protein, whereas the anal tumor was p53 protein negative. Five years later a recurrence of the cervical carcinoma was diagnosed and a hysterectomy was performed. Of 3,013 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of either the cervix or the anus registered in our files, only one had a primary carcinoma in both locations. It was concluded hat HPV-16-induced squamous cell carcinoma may occur simultaneously in the cervix and the anus, and carcinoma in either of the two locations has to be ruled out when dealing with HPV infection in the anogenital tract.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.27016422368281keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/6. Appearance of primary endometrial and ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma 17 months postpartum. A case report.BACKGROUND: Rare cases of endometrial cancer have been reported within two years postpartum. However, clear cell adenocarcinoma of the endometrium does not appear to have been reported before as occurring in the early postpartum period. CASE: A 33-year-old-female experienced abnormal uterine bleeding 17 months after the delivery of her second child by cesarean section. Computed tomography indicated the presence of tumors in the uterus and cul-de-sac. Preoperative evaluation of endometrial cytology revealed adenocarcinoma cells. These cells demonstrated a centrally located nucleus and translucent, clear cytoplasm, with the so-called mirror ball pattern of cell clusters. The cytologic diagnosis was clear cell adenocarcinoma. Postoperative histologic evaluation verified the presence of a solid type of clear cell adenocarcinoma. The patient was considered to have simultaneous primary clear cell adenocarcinoma of the endometrium and ovary. CONCLUSION: Preoperative endometrial cytology correctly suggested the histologic type of cancer.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.8keywords = adenocarcinoma, carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
