Borderline phyllodes tumor arising in accessory breast tissue at the axilla.

Accessory breast tissue is an anatomical variation which occurs during embryogenic development. It appears most frequently at the axilla. Benign and malignant processes in general breast tissue can occur in accessory breast tissue.

Preoperative clinical characteristics between uterine sarcoma and leiomyoma in patients with uterine mass, a case-control study.

Objectives: To determine the preoperative clinical characteristics associated with uterine sarcoma in patients with uterine mass.

Study Design: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients who presented with uterine mass undergoing surgery at Ramathibodi Hospital, with a pathologically confirmed diagnosis, from April 1, 2000 to October 31, 2019. The cases are patients with uterine sarcoma, whereas the controls are patients with leiomyoma diagnosed in the same year, with a proportion of 1 case per 4 controls.

Circulating Exosomal miRNAs as Biomarkers in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer.

Failure to detect early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a major contributing factor to its low survival rate. Increasing evidence suggests that different subtypes of EOC may behave as distinct diseases due to their different cells of origins, histology and treatment responses. Therefore, the identification of EOC subtype-specific biomarkers that can early detect the disease should be clinically beneficial.

Serum CA19-9, CA-125 and CEA as tumor markers for mucinous ovarian tumors.

Aim: To analyze the use of serum cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) and carcinoembryogenic antigen (CEA) in predicting the malignant potential of mucinous ovarian tumor, and to assess the clinical factors associated with these tumors.

Methods: This retrospective study collected the data from 314 patients who were diagnosed with mucinous ovarian tumor. These patients had preoperative serum CA19-9, CA-125, CEA available and underwent surgery at Ramathibodi Hospital between January 2010 and December 2016.

A large abdominal desmoid tumor associated with pregnancy.

Desmoid tumors are rare, benign tumors with locally aggressive behavior which originate from fascial or musculoaponeurotic structure. They are more common in young women than young man. The etiology of desmoid tumors are uncertain but may be related to operation, trauma or hormonal factors.
