Adenoma malignum is a rare variant of cervical adenocarcinoma which presents a great diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to an oncologist. A 31-year-old woman presented with a mass filling up whole of the vagina which showed no evidence of malignancy by scraping cytology or punch biopsy. But histological examination of the resected mass turned up to be adenoma malignum of the cervix. The patient was subsequently treated by Wertheim's hysterectomy and radiotherapy.

Several types of myometrial invasion in endometrioid-type endometrial adenocarcinoma (EEC) have been identified: adenomyosis-like changes; adenoma malignum; broad front, single-cell/cell clusters; and the microcystic elongated and fragmented (MELF) pattern. This study aims to investigate the effect of the MELF pattern on recurrence type and survival rate among patients with EEC. We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients diagnosed with EEC over a 10-year period from January 2011 to January 2021.

Objective: Among cervical adenocarcinomas, well-differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix (WD-GAS), previously termed adenoma malignum (minimal deviation adenocarcinoma) is not well understood. Because of its rarity and difficulty in diagnosis, there is no standard care for WD-GAS. Thus, we conducted the first multicenter retrospective study on WD-GAS to clarify prognostic factors for long-term survival and recurrence.

Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how to tell the difference between benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) liver lesions using a special MRI with a substance called gadoxetic acid.
- Researchers examined 107 patients with 180 liver lesions, analyzing both benign and malignant types.
- They discovered that there were significant differences in the measurements taken from these lesions, which could help doctors determine if a lesion is cancerous or not.

Lobular glandular endocervical hyperplasia is an uncommon benign entity within the spectrum of gastric-type endocervical lesions. We report a case of a 48-year-old woman who presented with a palpable mass and watery vaginal discharge. Ultrasound revealed an 8 cm × 4 cm × 3 cm multicystic mass affecting the cervix, and hysterectomy was performed.

Gastric adenocarcinoma of the cervix (GAC) represents a rare mucinous endocervical cancer unrelated to human papillomavirus (HPV). GAC has been found to comprise approximately 10% of cervical adenocarcinomas internationally. As more cases have been identified, GAC has been further classified into subtypes such as poorly differentiated versus well-differentiated (also referred to as mucinous or adenoma malignum).
