Vaginal metastasis of renal clear cell carcinoma: a case report emphasizing the role of immunohistochemistry in differential diagnosis in the absence of a clinical history.

We present the case of a 71-year-old patient, with vaginal bleeding, dyspnea, headache, loss of appetite and weakness. Clinical examination revealed a pediculated vaginal mass of 25 mm diameter, of dark-red color and soft spongy consistency, with an ulcerated surface and originating from the anterior wall, which was surgically removed. The morphology was dominanted by large, round to polygonal tumor cells, arranged in a predominantly tubulo-cystic architecture, surrounding numerous blood vessels that dominated the appearance, suggesting a perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) or hemangioblastoma but the presence of pleomorphic nuclei, numerous mitoses together with immunohistochemistry helped for a correct diagnosis of vaginal .

Assessing the Level of Knowledge and Experience Regarding Cervical Cancer Prevention and Screening among Roma Women in Romania.

: Romania ranks among the countries with a particularly high rate of mortality that can be prevented through prevention programs, screening, early detection, and prompt care. Cervical cancer (CC) is a major cause of these preventable deaths, affecting individuals from marginalized and rural regions, as well as the Roma population. The purpose of this article was to identify accurate and consistent information about the Roma population on the risk of CC, as well as the importance of understanding the causes of the disease and awareness of the available prevention methods.

Endometrial adenocarcinoma with gastrointestinal differentiation - a newly described entity, with morphologic diversity.

Gastrointestinal type of endometrial carcinoma is a newly described entity for which clearly defined diagnostic criteria have only recently been published. Among morphologic criteria, gastrointestinal mucinous adenocarcinoma of endometrium must not show a typical endometrioid component. We present a case with morphologic diversity, with areas showing gastric and intestinal differentiation as well as an endometrioid-like component.

Primary extrauterine cystic low-grade endometrioid stromal sarcoma mimicking stromal endometriosis. A case report emphasizing the differential diagnosis and its potential local aggressive behavior.

Genital and pelvic endometriosis is a frequently encountered lesion and its importance rely on associated symptoms and its propensity for malignant transformation. In the present paper we comment on the importance of correctly diagnose the malignant transformation of an endometriotic lesion into a cystic low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma, which is a very rare event. Moreover, we discuss the ability of a low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma to locally recurr and the differential diagnosis with stromal endometriosis, a lesion that is very rare, almost always microscopic and solid.

Outcomes of surgical management of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the ureter and urinary bladder.

Objectives: To report the outcomes of surgical management of urinary tract endometriosis and discuss the choice between conservative and radical surgery.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed data concerning women managed for ureteral or bladder deep infiltrating endometriosis in 5 surgical departments participating in the CIRENDO prospective database. Preoperative data, surgical procedure data, and postoperative outcomes were analyzed.
