Disorders of sex development (DSD), previously termed intersex, are uncommon, and are usually, but not always, diagnosed at birth. Issues of gender assignment, psychosexual development and the potential for malignant change in a dysgenetic gonad need to be considered. Here, we report a rare presentation of advanced malignancy in an abdominal gonad associated with the formation of a uterus in an adult male with a previously undiagnosed DSD.

Low-grade endometrial endometrioid carcinoma of the p53-abnormal group: case presentation and diagnostic issues.
Pathologica
October 2024
Pathology Unit, Department of Oncology, ASST Sette Laghi, Varese, Italy.
P53-abnormal endometrial carcinomas are high-grade and aggressive tumors which should be treated with chemo-/radiotherapy. In low-grade endometrioid carcinoma (LGEC), abnormal expression of p53 is an exceptional finding and is typically accompanied by patchy p16 positivity and diffuse hormone receptor expression. Herein, we report a case of LGEC exhibiting both p53 and p16 overexpression, highlighting the diagnostic pitfalls related to such phenotype.

Article Synopsis
- Uterine leiomyomas (UL) are common benign tumors affecting over 75% of reproductive-age women, causing symptoms like pelvic pain and reproductive dysfunction, but lack effective long-term treatments, leading to high hysterectomy rates.
- The loss of REST/NRSF in the myometrium has been linked to UL development, and the protein PRICKLE1 is crucial for REST's function and Wnt/PCP signaling, areas that are not fully understood in relation to UL.
- Research involving the deletion of Prickle1 in mouse models showed a UL phenotype with changes in collagen expression and ECM deposition, paving the way for better understanding UL and potential new therapies.
Abnormal placental development induced by repeated cesarean sections: Investigating an animal model of placenta accreta spectrum disorders.

Article Synopsis
- Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a serious health issue that can cause severe bleeding after childbirth, often requiring emergency surgery; however, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood due to limitations in animal research.
- In this study, researchers performed multiple cesarean sections on pregnant mice to create a model that mimics the risk factors for PAS, examining various aspects of pregnancy outcomes and placental health.
- Results showed that repeated cesarean sections led to significant complications in pregnancy, including abnormal placental development and fetal issues, indicating that this mouse model closely resembles the clinical features of PAS and can be useful for future research and prevention strategies.

NTRK-rearranged spindle cell neoplasm represents an emerging entity included in the latest 5th edition of WHO classification of both soft tissue and female genital tumors. By immunohistochemistry, they are commonly positive for CD34, S100 protein, and CD30 and typically harbor fusions of kinase genes such as NTRK1/2/3, RET, and BRAF. In the gynecological tract, they typically affect the uterine cervix or uterine body.
