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 …
Endometriosis is a disease where cells similar to those of the uterine lining grow outside of the uterus, embedding into tissues and organs in the abdominal cavity, forming lesions and …
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 …
Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancers (EAOCs), encompassing clear cell (CC) and endometrioid carcinomas (EC), constitute distinct biological entities yet lack robust biomarkers for precise classification, prognostication, and therapeutic decision-making in women. Therefore, …
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 …
Endometriosis, particularly ovarian endometrioma, is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of ovarian cancer (OC), especially the clear cell and endometrioid subtypes. However, the absolute lifetime risk of OC in …
BackgroundMesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a rare type of Müllerian carcinoma that poses significant diagnostic challenges, especially at extrauterine sites. Its morphologic and immunophenotypic overlap with other carcinomas can lead to …
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is an endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer subtype. Somatic mutations in OCCC are reported in ARID1A, PIK3CA, and the TERT promoter (TERTp), as well as less commonly …
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 …
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 …
