Pseudoneoplastic glandular lesions are benign lesions that are often histologically and radiographically confused with adenoma malignum, which is a rare variant of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. 15 cases of pseudoneoplastic glandular lesions, characterized by multilocular cystic masses in the uterine cervix, were investigated; these lesions included endocervical glandular hyperplasia, deep nabothian cysts and tunnel cluster. All lesions were proven by conization or hysterectomy. The MR findings correlated closely to the histopathological specimens. As a result, MR findings of pseudoneoplastic glandular lesions were almost identical to those of adenoma malignum; hence, it was almost impossible to differentiate between the two pathologies. Radiologists should be aware that these two conditions are quite similar in morphology.

An automatic cervical cell classification model based on improved DenseNet121.

Sci Rep

Department of Biomedical Engineering, School of Life Science and Technology, Changchun University of Science and Technology, Changchun, 130022, China.

The cervical cell classification technique can determine the degree of cellular abnormality and pathological condition, which can help doctors to detect the risk of cervical cancer at an early stage and improve the cure and survival rates of cervical cancer patients. Addressing the issue of low accuracy in cervical cell classification, a deep convolutional neural network A2SDNet121 is proposed. A2SDNet121 takes DenseNet121 as the backbone network.

Cervical cancer is the most important cancer type found in women throughout the world. Numerous research studies are being performed to investigate the effectiveness of different strategies for the imaging and treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer, which are showing favorable outcomes. Brachytherapy is characterized by the application of very high radiation doses to target tumor cells with the least exposure to normal tissues.

Cervical cancer poses a significant health risk to women. Deep learning methods can assist pathologists in quickly screening images of suspected lesion cells, greatly improving the efficiency of cervical cancer screening and diagnosis. However, existing deep learning methods rely solely on single-scale features and local spatial information, failing to effectively capture the subtle morphological differences between abnormal and normal cervical cells.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs) are aggressive sarcomas that occur rarely in the cervix. Considering the varied clinical features and the absence of a pathognomonic immunohistochemical marker, it is always challenging to diagnose these tumours. Treatment has not been standardised as yet, but a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy is used to treat MPNSTs of the cervix.
