Unenhanced region on magnetic resonance imaging represents tumor progression in uterine carcinosarcoma.

Objective: Carcinosarcoma of the uterine corpus has a poor prognosis. Although pathological necrosis is a prognostic factor of endometrial cancer, the clinicopathological influences of an unenhanced region observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are inconclusive. The aim of our study was to determine the clinicobiological impact of the presence of an unenhanced region on MRI, which can represent necrosis, in uterine carcinosarcoma.

Vaginal delivery after placental abruption with intrauterine fetal death: A 20-year single-center experience.

Aim: The aim of this study was to elucidate the feasibility and safety of vaginal delivery (VD) when placental abruption causes fetal demise.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of women who were managed for placental abruption with intrauterine fetal death at Kyoto University Hospital during the period from 1995 to 2015.

Results: Sixteen cases were identified during the study period.
