1/67. Testicular fibroma of gonadal stromal origin with minor sex cord elements: clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical study of 2 cases.OBJECTIVE: To report the histologic and immunohistochemical features of 2 cases of intratesticular fibromatous tumors. RESULTS: Microscopically, these tumors were composed of short, randomly interweaving fascicles of spindle cells dispersed within a fibrocollagenous stroma. A sex cord component was detected in one case by microscopic examination and in both cases by immunohistochemical study using MIC2 and anti-inhibin antibodies. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of minor sex cord elements, morphologically or by immunohistochemistry, suggests that these fibromatous tumors are related to and are a subset of sex cord-stromal tumors. Intratesticular fibromatous tumors, of which 11 other cases lacking sex cord elements have been reported, could be considered as the testicular equivalent of ovarian fibroma. These tumors could then be referred to as testicular fibroma of gonadal stromal origin, with or without minor sex cord component.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/67. Sonographic presentation of uterine sex cord-stromal tumor.A 24-year-old woman presented with continuous vaginal bleeding and anemia. Pelvic sonography demonstrated an enlarged uterus measuring 8.9 x 4.9 x 4.7 cm and a mass within the endometrial cavity measuring 3.0 x 1.8 cm. The mass appeared to be polypoid and echogenic, contained a small cyst, and was suggestive of a polyp. The patient underwent total vaginal hysterectomy. Pathologic examination revealed a uterine sex cord-stromal tumor. To our knowledge, the sonographic features of uterine sex cord-stromal tumor have not been previously reported. The sonographic appearance mimicked that of a polyp.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/67. Primary pure intratesticular fibrosarcoma.Testicular sarcoma appears to be a rare stromal tumor usually of indolent course with potential for distant metastases. A pure primary intratesticular fibrosarcoma in a 71-year-old male is presented. By the time the tumor became evident metastases had already occurred widely. The course was rapidly fatal. A review of the literature yielded only one case reported previously. The present case illustrates that pure fibrosarcoma occurs occasionally as a stromal tumor and may be associated with a dismal prognosis. The diagnosis of pure fibrosarcoma should be made only after extensive sampling of the testicular tumor to rule out an associated germ cell component. The differential diagnosis also includes the fibroma of gonadal stroma origin and the unclassified sex cord-stromal tumor with a predominance of spindle cells.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/67. Sclerosing stromal tumour of the ovary--a case report.Sclerosing stromal tumour (SST) of the ovary is a rare, benign tumour of the ovary, distinct from thecoma-fibroma group of tumours because of predominant occurrence below 30 years of age, lack of hormonal manifestations and histologic heterogenity. A case of 17-year-old female patient is described in the present article. The differential diagnosis is also discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 174931.41203704keywords = stromal tumour, stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/67. Loss of the Y-chromosome in the primary metastasis of a male sex cord stromal tumor: pathogenetic implications.The first published chromosomal pattern of the retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis of a malignant gonadal stroma cell tumor of the adult testis is presented. karyotyping showed structural chromosomal abnormalities and loss of the Y-chromosome. This loss was confirmed in primary tumor and metastasis using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The characteristic chromosomal abnormality of adult testicular germ cell tumors, an i(12p), was not present. The results are compared with other data of testicular and ovarian sex cord stromal tumors. From the comparison of the male tumors, it is concluded that loss of the Y-chromosome might have a pathogenetic significance.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/67. Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary: MRI.The MR and pathologic findings of a case of sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) are presented. MR findings reflecting pathological features of SST include pseudolobulation, which consists of low-intensity nodules set against high-intensity stroma on T2-weighted images, and striking enhancement on postcontrast images.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/67. Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary: radiologic findings.Sclerosing stromal tumor is a rare ovarian neoplasm. We describe the radiologic findings of sclerosing stromal tumor in two patients. In both patients, MR and CT images showed a large mass in the left adnexal region. On dynamic contrast-enhanced images, the tumors showed early peripheral enhancement with centripetal progression.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/67. Ovarian steroid cell tumors, not otherwise specified: a case report and literature review.Steroid cell tumors, not otherwise specified, are rare ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors with malignant potential. The majority of these tumors produce steroids with testosterone being the most common. A case of a 46-year-old woman who presented with sudden onset of virilization and a pelvic mass is reported. Various aspects of the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of these tumors are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/67. Androgen-producing ovarian tumors: a clinicopathological study of 3 cases.The clinical course and pathological findings of 3 rare cases of androgen-producing ovarian tumors are presented. The ages of the 3 patients (Cases 1, 2, and 3, respectively) were 43, 34, and 57 years, respectively. Their preoperative serum testosterone levels were 506, 491, and 231 ng/dl, respectively. The pathological diagnoses of Cases 1, 2, and 3 were a Sertoli-stromal cell tumor of intermediate differentiation, a stromal tumor containing leydig cells, and a stromal tumor with minor sex cord elements, respectively. Patient 1 experienced a recurrence, of a lesion at the vaginal stump 1 year and 2 months after the initial surgery. The clinical courses of Cases 2 and 3 have been non-contributory.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/67. A case of a sclerosing stromal ovarian tumor that expresses VEGF.A case of a sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) of the ovary is presented. One of the tumor's characteristics was its high vascularity. On immunohistochemical staining, the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was positive for both cellular and edematous areas in the tumor. VEGF was thought to be a factor that affected the clinicopathological features of this tumor.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
