Case of minimal deviation adenocarcinoma: possible clinical link to lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia as its origin.

Minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (MDA) is defined as an extremely well differentiated variant of endocervical adenocarcinoma. Several reports have stated that MDA associates with lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia (LEGH). It is difficult to distinguish LEGH from MDA based on clinical and histologic similarities.

Diagnostic usefulness of intraoperative ultrasonography in avoiding unnecessary para-aortic lymphadenectomy in women with endometrial carcinoma.

Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of intraoperative ultrasonography (IU) in reducing the number of unnecessary para-aortic lymphadenectomy in women with endometrial carcinoma.

Methods: Computed tomography (CT) and IU were used to assess whether para-aortic lymph nodes were enlarged in 91 women with endometrial carcinoma. All women underwent hysterectomy and systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy.

Postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy for the high-risk uterine cervical cancer.

Aim: To determine whether concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) can improve the survival rate of high-risk uterine cervical cancer.

Material & Methods: We analyzed 16 cases of uterine cervical cancer that had undergone radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy from 2003 to 2008. The patients were eligible if they had histologically confirmed positive parametrial involvement, positive pelvic lymph nodes or non-squamous cell carcinoma.

[Concurrent chemoradiation therapy for advanced cervical cancer].

In 2003, we began a clinical application of concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCR) in patients with cervical cancer in our hospital. We analyzed 14 cases of advanced cervical cancer in stages IIa through IIIb by FIGO classification. Tumor size of the uterine cervix ranged from 1.

Radiofrequency ablation for cystic adenomyosis: a case report.

Background: Cystic adenomyosis is an uncommon feature of adenomyosis, and women with the disease usually undergo laparotomy. We treated a case of cystic adenomyosis with radiofrequency ablation.

Case: A 21-year-old woman had severe dysmenorrhea supposedly caused by cystic adenomyosis.

Prompt diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy with the human chorionic gonadotropin test using exuded extract from endometrial curettings.

Using saline solution including exuded extract from uterine curettings, hCG tests were performed in 63 women in whom there was a suspicion of ectopic pregnancy, and their results correlated highly with the microscopic existence of chorionic villi and trophoblasts. Ectopic pregnancy can be mostly excluded when the test is positive, and either ectopic pregnancy or complete abortion is probable when it is negative.

[Anaphylaxia induced by etoposide--a case report].

A 32-year-old woman, gravida 4, para 2, visited Teikyo University Hospital with complaints of abnormal uterine bleeding and lower abdominal pain. Urine hCG level was 1,024 x 10(3) IU/l. MRI examination showed a vascular, rich solid mass 10 cm in diameter at the posterior region of the uterus.
