AI Article Synopsis
- Soft tissue sarcomas, particularly high-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas, are not commonly reported as complications during pregnancy.
- A 28-year-old woman was diagnosed with a transperitoneal sarcoma while pregnant, and various analyses confirmed its high-grade nature.
- Treatment options like surgery and chemotherapy are available during pregnancy but were not possible in this case, highlighting the need for individualized assessment of cancer treatment in pregnant patients.
Article Abstract
Introduction: To the best of our knowledge, soft tissue sarcomas have not prevously been reported as a complication during pregnancy.
Case Presentation: A 28-year-old Caucasian woman was diagnosed with a transperitoneal sarcoma during pregnancy. Morphological, immunohistochemical, chromosomal and mutational analyses pointed towards a high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma. Although surgery and chemotherapy are possible during pregnancy, we were unable to perform these in this case.
Conclusion: The potential to treat gynecological cancer during pregnancy should always be assessed individually.

Abnormal p53 High-Grade Endometrioid Endometrial Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Cancers (Basel)
December 2024
Comprehensive Health Research Center (CHRC), NOVA Medical School, Faculdade de Ciências Médicas, NMS, FCM, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, 1099-085 Lisbon, Portugal.
Objective: Our primary objective was to evaluate the oncologic outcomes of patients with abnormal p53 FIGO grade 3 (high-grade) endometrioid endometrial cancer. As secondary objectives, we determined the global prevalence of abnormal p53 in grade 3 endometrioid endometrial carcinomas and the geographical variations.
Methods: The following electronic databases were searched: PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science.
Intranodular Thyroid Metastasis of a Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Endometrium.
Clin Nucl Med
January 2025
From the Institut Curie, Department of Nuclear Medicine, Saint-Cloud.
A 64-year-old woman underwent initial 18F-FDG PET/CT staging for a suspicious endometrial mass, which showed high uptake in the endometrial mass and a focal uptake in a known left thyroid nodule. Histology revealed a high-grade large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium with FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) stage Ib. Further explorations revealed a synchronous thyroid metastasis.

Background: Ewing sarcoma is an EWSR1-rearranged aggressive malignancy that occurs commonly in bone and has small round blue cell morphology. A diagnostic challenge is presented in the cases of extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma involving solid organs, such as the uterus.
Case Report And Brief Literature Review: We present the case of a 54-year-old female with a large pelvic mass connected to the uterine cornua and retroperitoneal soft tissue.

Aim: To compare the prognosis of low-grade endometrial carcinoma (LG-EC) with that of high-grade endometrial carcinoma (HG-EC) after first recurrence/relapse before the molecular targeted therapy era.
Methods: Recurrent/relapsed endometrial cancer was diagnosed in 155 women at our hospital between January 26, 1999 and February 26, 2019. Fifty of these women received paclitaxel-carboplatin, two received doxorubicin-cisplatin, and one received docetaxel-carboplatin as postoperative chemotherapy.
Low-grade endometrial endometrioid carcinoma of the p53-abnormal group: case presentation and diagnostic issues.
Pathologica

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.
