Anastomosing hemangioma of the ovary - a comprehensive review of this rare ovarian entity.

Background: Anastomosing hemangioma of the ovary is a rare vascular tumor that predominantly affects middle-aged women. Despite its benign nature, its histological appearance can mimic aggressive vascular lesions, posing diagnostic challenges. This review aims to provide an overview of this uncommon entity.

Treatment of vulvar cancer recurrence with electrochemotherapy: a case-control study.

Background: Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is a combined treatment method based on electroporation and simultaneous chemotherapy. In cases where radiotherapy has previously been used, surgery is often the only treatment option for vulvar cancer recurrence with potential resection of clitoris, vagina, urethra or anal sphincter. The unique advantage of ECT is its selectivity for cancer cells while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue.

High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer during Pregnancy: From Diagnosis to Treatment.

Background: Due to the rarity of ovarian cancer diagnosed during pregnancy, the literature on the treatment of subtypes of epithelial ovarian cancer in pregnancy is sparse. The aim of our review was to analyze cases of high-grade serous ovarian cancer in pregnancy.

Methods: The PubMed and Scopus databases were searched for relevant articles published in English between January 2000 and December 2023.

Clear Cell Carcinoma Arising in Low-Grade Mullerian Adenosarcoma: First Reported Case with Insight into Molecular Profile.

Uterine adenosarcoma (AS) is a rare biphasic neoplasm composed of a malignant, usually low-grade stromal component and benign epithelial component, usually endometrioid. Pathogenesis is unknown; some cases are undoubtably associated with tamoxifen use. Endometrial clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is an aggressive subtype of endometrial cancer, accounting for less than 10% of all uterine carcinomas.

Vascular and Urinary Tract Anatomic Variants Relevant to Para-Aortic Lymphadenectomy in Women with Gynecological Cancers.

Background: Para-aortic lymphadenectomy is an essential part of gynecologic oncologic surgical treatment. The surgeon should be aware of the complex usual anatomy and its common variants.

Methods: Between January 2021 and May 2023, 58 women underwent para-aortic lymphadenectomy for gynecologic malignancies.

Safety and Feasibility of Vulvar Cancer Treatment with Electrochemotherapy.

Electrochemotherapy is a local ablative therapy used for the treatment of various superficial and deep-seated tumors. Electrochemotherapy involves the application of electric pulses locally to tumors to destabilize cell membranes and facilitate the entry of cytotoxic drugs, thereby enhancing their cytotoxicity locally. The aim of our study is to investigate the safety and feasibility of electrochemotherapy in patients with vulvar cancer recurrence used for nonpalliative purposes.

Treatment of vulvar cancer recurrences with electrochemotherapy - a detailed analysis of possible causes for unsuccessful treatment.

Background: Electrochemotherapy has good local effectiveness in the treatment of vulvar cancer. Most studies have reported the safety and effectiveness of electrochemotherapy for palliative treatment of gynecological cancers and mostly vulvar squamous cell carcinoma. Some tumors, however, fail to respond to electrochemotherapy.

Electrochemotherapy as an Alternative Treatment Option to Pelvic Exenteration for Recurrent Vulvar Cancer of the Perineum Region.

: Pelvic exenteration in women with recurrent vulvar carcinoma is associated with high morbidity and mortality and substantial treatment costs. Because pelvic exenteration severely affects the quality of life and can lead to significant complications, other treatment modalities, such as electrochemotherapy, have been proposed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and suitability of electrochemotherapy in the treatment of recurrent vulvar cancer.

Literature Review and Our Experience With Bleomycin-Based Electrochemotherapy for Cutaneous Vulvar Metastases From Endometrial Cancer.

Endometrial carcinoma is the most common gynecological malignancy and the fifth most common malignancy in women. The worldwide incidence is 15.9 new cases per 100,000 women per year, and the incidence in Europe is 22.

Hypercalcemia and Unilateral Ovarian Mass in a Young Adult: A Case Report of Small Cell Ovarian Carcinoma.

BACKGROUND Small cell ovarian carcinoma, hypercalcemic type is an uncommon malignant ovarian tumor entity with an unfavorable prognosis and a short overall survival rate. It mainly affects women of childbearing age. CASE REPORT We report a case in which a 31-year-old woman with small cell ovarian carcinoma, hypercalcemic type presented with unspecific symptoms.

Long-term clinical and radiographic outcome of patello-femoral realignment procedures: a minimum of 15-year follow-up.

Purpose: A retrospective single-centre study was focused on the long-term outcome after different patello-femoral (PF) realignment procedures.

Methods: Thirty-nine patients treated for recurrent PF instability were examined after a mean post-operative time of 22.5 years.
