We report two cases of uterine lipoleiomyoma in postmenopausal women of ages 52 and 55 years, who presented with complaints of leukorrhea and lower abdominal pain, respectively. Lipoleiomyoma is a rare benign variant of leiomyoma, having an incidence of 0.03%-0.2%. These are benign pelvic tumors which are usually asymptomatic and commonly occur in obese postmenopausal women. However, they can occasionally present with typical leiomyoma symptoms. Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of benign pelvic tumors. Ultrasonography is the first imaging modality for diagnosis of pelvic tumors in females. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are specific in demonstrating the uterine origin and fat component.

Cancer cells in the right subdiaphragmatic lavage may reflect peritoneal dissemination, but its prognostic significance is unknown. This study investigated recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and recurrence patterns in patients with curatively resected endometrial cancer by cytology collection site. Peritoneal cytology was collected at the beginning of surgery by washing the pelvic and right subdiaphragmatic cavity separately.

Background: The classification of uterine sarcomas is based on distinctive morphological and immunophenotypic characteristics, increasingly supported by molecular genetic diagnostics. Data on neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase () gene fusion-positive uterine sarcoma, potentially aggressive and morphologically similar to fibrosarcoma, are limited due to its recent recognition. Pan-TRK immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis serves as an effective screening tool with high sensitivity and specificity for -fusion malignancies.

Purpose: Uterine fibroids are the most common pelvic tumors in women, representing the primary indication of hysterectomy. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists represent a new therapeutic option for premenopausal women. The aim of this review is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GnRH antagonists in the treatment of uterine fibroids (size reduction and symptom control).

Introduction: Open ureteroenteric reimplantation (OUER) of ureteroenteric strictures (UESs) is related to important morbidity. Robot-assisted ureteroenteric reimplantation (RUER) has been proposed to provide similar outcomes with lower morbidity. We aimed to compare perioperative and functional outcomes between RUER and OUER.

Objectives: To analyze the presence of nutritional impact symptoms (NIS) throughout radiotherapy treatment in the head and neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis areas.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted with individuals undergoing radiotherapy for cancer. Three assessments were carried out: at the start of radiotherapy, midway through, and in the last week of treatment.
