Number of organ transplant recipients continues to rise worldwide with increasing accessibility and growing advancements in transplant medicine. Transplant patients have at least a two-to-four fold higher risk of developing …
Numerous conditions can mimic ovarian malignancy. Identifying the origin of a pelvic mass or disseminated peritoneal abnormality on imaging is important to ensure that the patient receives optimal management by …
Clear cell carcinomas are rare and relatively chemo-insensitive ovarian cancers with a characteristic molecular pathogenesis. Alterations in ARID1A, a component of the multiprotein chromatin remodeling complex SWI/SNF, are likely early …
Primary mucinous ovarian neoplasms, gastrointestinal-type (GI-type), are composed of mucin-producing tumor cells resembling intestinal goblet cells or gastric foveolar epithelium. In contrast to seromucinous tumors, which exhibit endocervical-type mucinous differentiation …
