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 …
Endometriomas are the most common presenting subtype of endometriosis. Although most endometriomas are asymptomatic, patients can rarely present acutely with spontaneous rupture causing diffuse peritonitis and severe systemic inflammatory response.
Embryo implantation, a critical step during the mammalian reproductive process, requires normal developing blastocysts and a receptive endometrium. Endometriosis, a common pathologically benign gynecological condition, is associated with decreased fertility …
Although endometrioid carcinoma (EC) and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (EnOC) display similar pathological features, their molecular characteristics remain to be determined. Somatic mutation data from 2777 EC, 423 EnOC, and 57 …
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a less common subtype accounting for approximately 5% of all epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs). Clinical experience and research findings confirm the remarkable differences in …
Uterine cervix is the lower constricted part of uterus which is best evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to its higher soft tissue and contrast resolution. The cervical cancer …
Diaphragmatic endometriosis is extremely rare. Although endometriosis is considered generally benign, malignant transformation of endometriosis was reported in 1925. Multiple studies have since described clear cell carcinoma (CCC) or endometrioid …
Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissues. Mechanisms of tissue dissemination in endometriosis may be similar to those involved in tumor metastasis. We hypothesize that dysregulation of …
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC), with unique clinical and molecular characteristics compared with other histological types of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), behaves like a distinct entity and has a poorer …
