Evaluation of vitamin D receptor expression in uterine leiomyoma and nonneoplastic myometrial tissue: a cross-sectional controlled study.

Background: Uterine myomas are the most frequent benign solid pelvic tumors in women of reproductive age. At present, uterine myomas are the most common indication for hysterectomy because of the morbidity they cause, including intense bleeding, compression of adjacent organs, pain, and infertility. Some studies show that vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression is correlated with the etiology of uterine leiomyomas.

Evaluation of KI-67 expression in uterine leiomyoma and in healthy myometrium: a pilot study.

Objective: Evaluate the expression of KI-67 in uterine leiomyomas and adjacent myometrial tissue and verify the existence of a correlation between clinical parameters and KI-67 expression in tumors.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional, controlled, analytical study. Samples of leiomyomas and myometrium were obtained from patients who underwent hysterectomy.

Brain Metastasis in Papillary Serous Adenocarcinoma of the Endometrium.

Background:  Most endometrial cancers (75%) are diagnosed in early stages (stages I and II), in which abnormal uterine bleeding is the most frequent clinical sign. When the diagnosis is performed in stage IV, the most common sites of metastasis are the lungs, liver and bones. Central nervous system (CNS) metastasis is a rare condition.

Use of the Patent Blue and Air in the Preoperative Marking of Impalpable Breast Lesions.

Objective: The goal of this study is to analyze the applicability of the patent blue dye and air in the preoperative marking of impalpable mammary lesions with indication of surgical resection.

Materials And Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed. We selected 49 patients with detection of impalpable lesions on a breast mammography or breast ultrasonography.

A rare case of primary breast angiosarcoma in a male: a case report.

Background: Sarcomas account for less than 1% of primary breast cancers, and breast angiosarcomas are responsible for only 0.05% of all breast malignancies. The male breast has the same potential for malignant transformation as the female breast.

Retromammary fat, axillary and arm metastases from a retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma: report of a case with an indolent behaviour.

Leiomyosarcomas are sarcomas that originate within smooth muscle cells and generally occur in older patients. These tumours account for 10% of all soft-tissue sarcomas. Metastases occur most commonly to the lungs, kidneys, and liver.

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich Syndrome with Ureteric Remnant Abscess Managed Laparoscopically: A Case Report.

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome is part of a spectrum of Müllerian duct anomalies that occur during embryonic development. The syndrome is characterized by uterus didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Only few cases of this disease were reported worldwide.
