Hysterectomy through Minimally Invasive Surgery for Cervical High-grade Intraepithelial Neoplasia: Reassessment of the Specimens' Eligibility for Histological Examination.

Objectives: The objective was to investigate the microscopic artifacts made in the uterus of cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) resected by hysterectomy through minimally invasive (H-MI) procedures and to verify whether these specimens are suitable for histopathological assessment.

Materials And Methods: This single-center retrospective study analyzed 28 patients with cervical HSIL, consisting of 21 premenopausal and seven postmenopausal women, who underwent H-MI. The proportion of the cervical mucosa covered by intact surface epithelium (residual ratio [RR]) was measured on microscopically.

Malignant lymphoma of the cervix in a bicollis uterus considered to be a post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in a patient after renal transplantation: A case report.

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) refers to a group of diseases, characterized by abnormal proliferation of lymphocytes, that develop after organ transplantation. PTLD is associated with poor prognosis, and has become a major problem for transplant patients. In this report, we described a case of malignant lymphoma of the cervix in a bicollis uterus considered to be a PTLD in a patient after renal transplantation.

Malignant Transformation of Mature Cystic Teratoma: Is Squamous Cell Carcinoma Different From the Other Types of Neoplasm?

Objectives: Malignant transformation of mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is rare. Unlike squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in MCT, the other types of neoplasm in MCT have not been discussed in publications. We analyzed the clinical characteristics and prognosis of the other types of neoplasm (non-SCC) compared with those of SCC.
