Endometrial stromal sarcomas: immunoprofile with emphasis on HMB45 reactivity.

Objectives: We describe the morphologic and immunohistochemical features of 17 endometrial stromal neoplasms, 16 sarcomas, and one stromal nodule.

Methods: We reviewed 35 cases interpreted as endometrial stromal neoplasms, but 17 high-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESS) and one case of mixed endometrial sarcoma and leiomyosarcoma were excluded from the study. Data from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results program on low- and high-grade ESS for 1973 through 2003 were obtained.

Mucinous cystadenoma of the pyelocaliceal system: a report of 3 examples and an analysis of 17 previously published cases.

We report 3 patients all men between 45 and 64 years of age with unilocular or multilocular mucinous cystadenomas of the kidney. One tumor arose from the renal pelvis, and 2 involved the entire pyelocaliceal system. The tumors measured between 2.

Adenomas of the gallbladder. Morphologic features, expression of gastric and intestinal mucins, and incidence of high-grade dysplasia/carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinoma.

We report 201 gallbladder adenomas from 91 patients most of whom were adult females. Fifty-three (58%) patients had gallstones. In 83 (91%) patients the adenomas were single.
