Introduction: Current trends of delaying childbearing and the increasing incidence of endometrial cancer in nulliparous woman necessitate research and development of fertility sparing treatments. Hormonal therapy with progestins offers an alternative to surgical treatment for a select group of patients of reproductive-age, who wish to preserve their reproductive potential.

Materials And Methods: The study evaluates the effectiveness of medroxyprogesterone acetate therapy in patients with early-stage endometrial cancer, atypical endometrial hyperplasia or atypical polypoid adenomyoma, seeking to preserve fertility.

Superficial Serrated Adenoma: A Rare Case of Sigmoid Polyp With Malignant Potential.

Cureus

December 2024

Department of Digestive Disease, Xiamen Chang Gung Hospital, Hua Qiao University, Xiamen, CHN.

We present the case of a 68-year-old woman who underwent complete endoscopic resection of a superficial serrated adenoma (SuSA). Due to its rarity and limited case reports, SuSA is often misdiagnosed as a hyperplastic lesion without malignant potential, leading to missed diagnoses. A polypoid lesion was identified in the sigmoid colon during the initial endoscopic evaluation, where it was initially classified as a sessile serrated lesion (SSL).

Introduction: Deep mycoses acquired by penetrating trauma to the skin can have varied and sometimes atypical morphological presentations resulting in diagnostic dilemmas and delay in treatment onset. Histopathology can be a useful tool in not only diagnosing but also differentiating various deep mycoses.

Aims And Objectives: To observe various morphological presentations and histopathological features of deep fungal infections.

Article Synopsis
  • A retrospective study analyzed 206 patients who had hysteroscopic polypectomy to assess the impact of different types of background endometrium on the prognosis of endometrial polyps (EPs).
  • The researchers classified the endometrial tissues into four categories: normal proliferative endometrium, polypoid hyperplastic endometrium, chronic endometritis, and non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia, using statistical analysis to identify risk factors associated with adverse outcomes.
  • Key findings revealed that conditions like chronic endometritis and non-atypical hyperplasia were linked to higher rates of EP recurrence and poor management of abnormal uterine bleeding, indicating the relevance of endometrial pathology in treatment outcomes.

Gynagologist Damascus University, Faculty of Medicine, Gynagology and Obstetric Department, Damascus, Damascus Governorate, Syria.

Article Synopsis
  • - Acute nonpuerperal uterine inversion (Acute NPUI) is a rare condition often linked to uterine tumors like leiomyomas, particularly when accompanied by precancerous lesions, which is quite unusual
  • - A case study highlights a 65-year-old woman with acute NPUI resulting from a prolapsed fibroid, where examinations revealed a painful hemorrhagic mass and difficulty in assessing the uterus
  • - Prompt intervention involved manually repositioning the uterus followed by a total hysterectomy; pathological findings revealed a leiomyoma with atypical hyperplasia, emphasizing the need for swift action and thorough pathological analysis in NPUI cases
