Synchronous adenocarcinoma and echinococcosis in the same ovary: a rare clinical entity.

Background: Serous adenocarcinoma is the most common subtype of ovarian carcinoma, while ovarian echinococcosis is a rare disease of the female genital system. The simultaneous presence of adenocarcinoma and echinococcosis in the same ovary is extremely rare and little data exist regarding diagnosis and treatment approach.

Materials And Methods: In the present paper, we report a rare case of a 66-year-old Greek Caucasian woman of rural origin, with an adnexal mass, ascitic and pleural fluid.

Struma ovarii. A case report.

Prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of Ureaplasma urealyticum in asymptomatic women in Northern Greece.

Aim: This study attends to determine the prevalence and the antimicrobial susceptibility of Ureaplasma urealyticum in asymptomatic women in Northern Greece.

Materials-methods: A total of 347 cervical smears were divided into 5 groups according to age. Samples were cultured, Ureaplasma urealyticum isolation was confirmed by the detection of the urease gene and the antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates to 9 commercially available antibiotics was determined.

A unique case of palatinate tonsil metastasis from endometrial cancer.

Metastases from malignancies of the female genital tract to the tonsils have never been reported. A case of a 55-year-old woman presenting with a palatinate tonsil tumour two and half years after primary diagnosis of endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma (FIGO Stage IB, G2) and six months after local disease recurrence is presented. The tonsillar malignancy was poorly differentiated and tumour cells were immunohistochemically positive to LMW keratin and EMA, and negative to HMW keratin and LCA, strongly suggesting a possible endometrial origin of the tumour.
