Case Report of Small Cell Carcinoma of the Ovary, Hypercalcemic Type (Ovarian Rhabdoid Tumor) with Mutation: A Literature Review of a Rare and Aggressive Condition.

Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) is a rare and aggressive condition that is associated with the mutation and has a dismal prognosis. It is generally diagnosed in young women. Here, we report a case of a young woman with SCCOHT harboring a rare molecular finding with a highly aggressive biological behavior.

Pathological factors associated with non-sentinel lymph node metastasis in early stage cervical cancer.

Objective: To analyze the predictive factors for non-sentinel lymph node (non-SLN) metastasis in early-stage cervical cancer.

Methods: We analyzed a series of 113 patients who underwent sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping for cervical cancer. The SLNs were examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) when the hematoxylin-eosin stain was negative.

Surgical implications of mesenteric lymph node metastasis from advanced ovarian cancer after bowel resection.

Background: Studies addressing mesenteric and mesocolic lymph node metastasis in patients with advanced ovarian cancer that have undergone bowel resection are lacking.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed in a series of 50 individuals who underwent surgical cytoreduction for epithelial ovarian cancer that included bowel resection from April 2004 to September 2010.

Results: Forty-one patients had bowel resection with mesenteric lymph nodes that were suitable for analysis.

Chylous ascites in gynecologic malignancies: cases report and literature review.

Purpose: Chylous ascites is an infrequent postoperative complication after retroperitoneal surgical procedure. Despite its infrequent occurrence, postoperative chylous ascites are associated with significant morbidity. Reports of chylous ascites or fistula after retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for gynecologic malignancies without radiation therapy are rare.
