Mesonephric and Mesonephric-Like Proliferations of the Gynecologic Tract.

Mesonephric remnants are vestiges of Wolffian ducts located adjacent to the Müllerian ducts. Proliferations arising from these remnants are uncommon and classified as benign, including mesonephric hyperplasia, Gartner and rete …

Cancer-associated mutations in endometriosis reframe a benign disease through molecular oncology.

Endometriosis is a benign yet debilitating condition, and its molecular complexity remains unexplored. Although clinically recognized, its genetic landscape has long been overlooked. This review analyses cancer-associated mutations (CAMs) identified …

Ovarian Carcinoma Presenting Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma-Like Features in Association With Seromucinous Borderline Tumor: A Real Seromucinous Carcinoma?

Ovarian seromucinous carcinoma is generally classified within the spectrum of endometrioid carcinoma. We report a rare ovarian carcinoma with mucoepidermoid carcinoma-like features arising in direct association with a seromucinous borderline …

Somatic Cancer Driver Mutation Analysis in Endometriosis with Tumor-like Presentations: A Case Series Study.

Background/Objectives: Endometriosis manifests as ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. This lesion can sometimes appear at unusual anatomical sites or within the intestinal tract, growing and mimicking cancer. Such …

Exploring the mechanism of plastic additives on reproductive disorders based on network toxicology and molecular docking.

Phthalate esters (PAEs) and organophosphate esters (OPEs) are pervasive 20 environmental pollutants with endocrine-disrupting properties. Despite growing 21 evidence linking PAE/OPE exposure to female reproductive disorders, the 22 diseasespecific molecular …

Endometrioid Versus Seromucinous Borderline Ovarian Tumors: Divergent Molecular Signatures and a Shared Role as Precursors to Endometrioid Carcinoma.

Endometrioid borderline tumors (EBTs) and seromucinous borderline tumors (SMBTs) are rare ovarian neoplasms with distinct histologic features. However, the molecular profiles of EBTs and SMBTs remain incompletely characterized. We performed …

Genetics of Endometriosis-Associated Ovarian Cancer: A Systematic Review.

Up to 1.6% of patients with endometriosis develop epithelial ovarian carcinoma. The genetic overlap between endometriosis and ovarian cancer has not been fully characterized. This review aims to describe the …

Adnexal Endometrioid Carcinomas With Sex Cord-Like Morphology are Frequently PAX8-Negative, SOX17-Positive, and Enriched for CTNNB1 Alterations.

Sex cord-like morphology is now a well-known feature of occasional examples of endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary or fallopian tube. Recently, we have observed that these tumors are frequently negative …

[Comparative analysis of clinicopathological and molecular characteristics between pure ovarian endometrioid carcinoma and synchronous endometrial and ovarian endometrioid carcinoma].

Objective: To investigate the differences in clinicopathological and molecular characteristics between pure ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (POEC) and synchronous endometrial and ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (SEOEC), aiming to provide a basis for …

Corrigendum to "Decreased expression of KLF6 in ectopic endometrial stromal cells contributes to endometriosis progression by targeting CTNNB1" [Cellular Signalling 120 (2024) 111230].
