Background: Mesonephric adenocarcinoma of the vagina is an extremely rare tumor of the female genital tract, with only a few cases reported so far worldwide. Consequently, there is no established standard treatment and limited knowledge about the prognosis and biologic behavior of vaginal mesonephric adenocarcinoma.
Methods: This report documents a new case of vaginal mesonephric adenocarcinoma diagnosed in a 54-year-old woman, and analyzes this in the context of all previously published cases.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the challenges of reconstructing soft tissue after cancer surgery in the vulvar, vaginal, or anal areas, highlighting the functional and cosmetic importance of these regions.
- The authors present a new technique using the local fasciocutaneous infragluteal (FCI) flap for reconstructive surgery, detailing its vascular supply and sensory innervation in a study involving 15 patients from 1999 to 2007.
- The outcomes showed high success, with most flaps surviving and patients expressing satisfaction with the results, while also noting a low incidence of complications and recurrence.
Objective: We sought to determine the validity of colposcopically directed cervical biopsies as a diagnostic test to define the degree of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).
Study Design: In a prospective multicenter trial, patients undergoing excisional procedures of the transformation zone additionally had colposcopy and up to 3 guided cervical biopsies in a single procedure. Cervical biopsies were regarded as a diagnostic test to detect high-grade lesions (CIN 2,3), with the cone specimen as reference standard.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the accuracy of different formulas to estimate fetal weight using 2D and 3D ultrasound.
Materials And Methods: We performed a prospective study on unselected singleton pregnancies. All scanned fetuses delivered within 7 days in absence of structural and chromosomal abnormalities were included.
