Clinical over- and under-estimation in patients who underwent hysterectomy for atypical endometrial hyperplasia diagnosed by endometrial biopsy: the predictive value of clinical parameters and diagnostic imaging.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical and imaging characteristics in patients diagnosed with atypical endometrial hyperplasia based on endometrial biopsy in comparison with the final diagnosis from resected uteri; i.e. to determine the rates of underestimation (endometrial cancer), equivalent diagnosis (atypical hyperplasia), and overestimation (hyperplasia without atypia or non-hyperplastic lesion).

Metastatic ovarian tumors: a review of 64 cases.

Objective: The goal was to review cases of metastatic ovarian tumor with respect to their clinical features.

Methods: Sixty-four patients with pathologically confirmed metastatic ovarian carcinoma, who were treated between 1978 and 2002 at Osaka Medical Center for Cancer and Cardiovascular Diseases (OMCC), were reviewed and the clinical features examined.

Results: We found that metastatic tumors accounted for 21.
