Background: Diffuse laminar endocervical glandular hyperplasia is extremely rare with only 14 cases reported in the literature. Diffuse laminar endocervical glandular hyperplasia is a benign lesion that is easily confused with malignancy.
Case Report: We present a 22-year-old woman referred to our gynecologic oncology service with a 2.0 x 4.0-cm exophytic cervical mass. Colposcopic-directed cervical biopsies were diagnosed as adenocarcinoma, suggestive of minimal deviation adenocarcinoma. Computed tomographic scans of the abdomen and the pelvis failed to reveal any metastatic foci. A radical abdominal hysterectomy with pelvic and para-aortic lymph node sampling was performed without complications. Final pathology revealed diffuse laminar endocervical glandular hyperplasia.
Conclusions: Diffuse laminar endocervical glandular hyperplasia is an uncommon histological type of pseudoneoplastic glandular lesions that may be found in the cervix, and this entity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a potentially malignant endocervical glandular lesion.

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α as a sensitive marker for uterine endocervical adenocarcinomas and their precursors.
Hum Pathol
January 2025
Department of Pathology, Kansai Medical University, 2-5-1 Shin-machi, Hirakata, Osaka, 573-1010, Japan. Electronic address:
Context: Hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-4α is a marker of gastrointestinal tumor differentiation; however, its expression in endocervical tumors remains unclear.
Objective: We aimed to assess the utility of HNF4α expression as a marker for endocervical adenocarcinomas (ECAs) and adenocarcinoma in situs (AISs), and to establish a minimal panel for distinguishing them from nonneoplastic endocervical glandular lesions and metastases.
Design: HNF4α expression was analyzed immunohistochemically (positive, H-score ≥10) in 323 tissue samples: 57 endocervical neoplasms including 35 glandular neoplasms and 22 squamous neoplasms, 144 nonneoplastic endocervical lesions, and 122 tumors from other organs.
Problems of magnetic resonance diagnosis for gastric-type mucin-positive cervical lesions of the uterus and its solutions using artificial intelligence.

Purpose: To reveal problems of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosing gastric-type mucin-positive (GMPLs) and gastric-type mucin-negative (GMNLs) cervical lesions.
Methods: We selected 172 patients suspected to have lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia; their pelvic MR images were categorised into the training (n = 132) and validation (n = 40) groups. The images of the validation group were read twice by three pairs of six readers to reveal the accuracy, area under the curve (AUC), and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
Low-grade endometrial endometrioid carcinoma of the p53-abnormal group: case presentation and diagnostic issues.
Pathologica

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.

Purpose: The color of Papanicolaou-stained specimens is a crucial feature in cytology diagnosis. However, the quantification of color using digital images is challenging due to the variations in the staining process and characteristics of imaging equipment. The dye amount estimation of stained specimens is helpful for quantitatively interpreting the color based on a physical model.

Objective: This study evaluates the effectiveness of endocervical curettage (ECC) in identifying additional cervical cancer and its precursors in women with atypical glandular cells (AGC) cytology.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records for women referred to colposcopy with AGC cytology between January 2019 and December 2023. The study included 433 women with AGC cytology who underwent both biopsy and ECC.
