Primary mesonephric adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube: A case report.

Background: Mesonephric adenocarcinoma (MNAC) is an extremely rare malignancy in the female genital tract. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature, and most of them occurred in the cervix, with extremely rare cases in the uterine body and ovary. MNAC has never been reported to arise in the fallopian tube.

Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary with masculinization, Meig's syndrome and CA125 elevation in an adolescent girl: A case report.

Background: Sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) is an extremely rare sex cord stromal tumor of the ovary. It was first reported and named in 1973. These tumors typically present with pelvic/abdominal pain and tenderness, a mass, and/or abnormal menses, but rarely present with masculinity in children and adolescents.

Ovarian involvement of a desmoplastic small round cell tumor of unknown primary origin with lymph node and lung metastases: A case report.

Desmoplastic small round cell tumors (DSRCTs) were initially characterized as exhibiting divergent differentiation and were extremely aggressive, belonging to the family of 'small round blue cell tumors'. Due to a male predominance, to date, only 15 cases in women have been reported in the English literature. The present study describes a case of DSRCT in a young woman who initially presented with ovarian masses accompanied with lymph node and lung metastases.

Expression of AEG-1 mRNA and protein in colorectal cancer patients and colon cancer cell lines.

Background: Astrocyte elevated gene 1 (AEG-1), an important oncogene, has been shown to be overexpressed in several types of cancers. In colorectal cancer (CRC), the protein level of AEG-1 is up-regulated in tumour tissue compared to normal mucosa, showing prognostic significance. Since little is known about the transcriptional level of AEG-1 expression and its biological pathway in CRC the aim of the present study was to examine the relationship of AEG-1 mRNA expression, the protein level and clinicopathological variables as well as its biology pathway in CRC.

Novel gene hBiot2 is an independent prognostic factor in colorectal cancer patients.

The present study investigated the expression of the novel gene hBiot2 in colorectal cancer (CRC) and its relationships with clinicopathological variables in CRC patients. The expression of hBiot2 in 163 primary CRCs together with the corresponding normal mucosa, 36 liver metastases and 5 colon cancer cell lines was examined using real-time PCR. In situ hybridization (ISH) was performed to evaluate the localization of hBiot2 expression in CRC and normal mucosa.

Overexpression of GLUT1 in colorectal cancer is independently associated with poor prognosis.

Background: To investigate the expression of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and its relationship to clinicopathological variables.

Methods: The expression of GLUT1 in 163 primary tumors together with the corresponding normal mucosa, and 36 liver metastases was examined using real-time PCR.

Results: The mean value of GLUT1 was higher in primary tumors (50.

Overexpression of the hBiot2 gene is associated with development of human cervical cancer.

The novel gene human Biot2 (hBiot2) was first reported by our laboratory. Previously, we indicated its function of proliferation and carcinogenesis in human endometrial cancer. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether hBiot2 played a similar role in human cervical cancer.

Malignant mixed müllerian tumor of the fallopian tube: report of two cases and review of literature.

Purpose: Malignant mixed müllerian tumors (MMMT) of the female genital tract is rare and it is extremely rare in the fallopian tube, with fewer than 53 cases reported in the literature.

Methods: We had experienced two cases of MMMT of the fallopian tube. The clinical features, pathologic findings, diagnosis, therapy, and outcome were reviewed.

[Malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis: a clinicopathologic analysis of 49 cases].

Background & Objective: Ovarian endometriosis is a common and benign, but progressive disease. We aimed to investigate the clinicopathologic of ovarian endometriosis with malignant transformation and to evaluate the expression differences of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) between ovarian endometriosis samples with and without malignant transformation.

Methods: Clinicopathologic data of 49 ovarian endometriosis patients with malignant transformation were reviewed.
