The Impact of Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal Systems on Histopathologic Analysis for Benign and Cancerous Endometrial Pathology: An Ex Vivo Study.

Objective: To assess the impact of hysteroscopic tissue removal systems (TRS) on histopathology tissue diagnosis.

Measurements And Methods: This is a paired-comparison ex vivo study in which 23 endometrial sections from hysterectomized uteri (13 benign and 10 hyperplasia/cancer) were analyzed in a simulation laboratory center at a university teaching hospital. After routine tissue processing, a section of endometrium was provided for ex vivo TRS with suture mounting to a uterine model (Polly, Remedy).

Cervical carcinoma metastatic to the orbit.

Purpose: To describe a case of orbital metastasis from an undifferentiated pelvic tumor with probable cervical origination.

Methods: Case report. Detailed ophthalmologic examination, orbital CT and MRI, and orbital biopsy with histologic and immunohistochemical analysis.
