[Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma firstly localized in colonic mesentery].

There are only few papers describing extrauterine localisation of endometrial tumor sarcoma. Pathogenesis of this tumor is still not clear. Most of the authors suggest the heterotopic Mullerian ducts to be the origin of such tumors.

[Photodynamic diagnosis of vulvar precancerous conditions and invasive cancers using 5-aminolevulinic acid].

Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT), in particular Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) is a modern, non-invasive technique using photosensitizer like 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) in detection of the vulvar diseases. Photodynamic therapy gives the possibilities to differentiate inflammatory diseases from precancerous lesions and invasive vulvar cancer.

Objective: To assess accuracy of the PDD in detection, localisation and differentiation of precancerous diseases and invasive cancer of the vulva.

[Vaginal leiomyoma].

Vaginal leiomyoma is a very rare condition. The earliest reference made to such a tumor is attributed to Denys De Leyden in 1773, and the first review of the literature concerning such tumors was published in 1882. It is estimated approximately 300 leiomyomas of the vagina have been reported in the world literature.

[Clinical analysis of 105 cases of vulvar cancer].
