[Amyloid-producing leiomyoma of the womb--a complete morphological study and possible etiology].

Case study of a 41 year old woman with tumor-related amyloidosis in a singular intramural leiomyoma of the uterine corpus. The tumor has been thoroughly revised with electron microscopy and underwent a histological, histochemical, and imunohistochemical studies. A hypothesis of its origin has been suggested.

[Massive ovarian edema--a case report].

A case with massive ovarian oedema, which is a rare pseudotumorous condition in young women, is described. The conceptions about the etiology and pathogenesis are considered as well as the morphological changes (with the corresponding clinical symptoms) which could be found in the affected ovary. Attention is drawn to the differential diagnostical difficulties and to the possibilities of semiconservative treatment of this rare clinicomorphological entity.

[Endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma in situ].

Endometrial hyperplasias--both simple and adenomatous are presented, as well as the differences between them and the endometrial carcinoma. The concept of endometrial carcinoma in situ (ESIS) and the criteria for invasiveness by the malignancies of the uterine corpus are discussed. Illustrations for various cases with ESIS are provided and the clinical behaviour by ESIS is discussed.

[Primary multiple malignant tumors of the female genitalia].

Occurrence of multiple malignant neoplasms in individuals is rather rare but not casuistic phenomenon that should not be neglected in oncologic practice. Our present work demonstrates 11 cases with primary multiple malignant tumors of female genital tract, that have been checked and followed for a two-year period (1993-1995) at the State Obstetric and Gynecology University Hospital. In discussion we argue on criteria that help the differentiation between primary, simultaneously originated multiple neoplasms and metastatic tumors.
