Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors of gastrointestinal (GI) tract with mesenchymal cell origin. Extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs) are unusual tumors that exhibit the same immunohistochemical and genetic abnormalities as GISTs and most commonly affect the omentum and mesentery. EGISTs of the pelvis and the female reproductive system are exceedingly rare and a frequent diagnostic pitfall. In this report, we present two cases of EGISTs along with a review of the literature.

Risk factors for the involvement of sentinel lymph nodes in endometrial cancer (TRSGO-SLN-010).
Int J Gynecol Cancer
January 2025
Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Koc University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey.
Objective: This research was undertaken to identify risk factors for the involvement of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in cases of endometrial cancer.
Methods: From February 2016 to April 2021, the cases of 874 women with endometrial cancer treated with the SLN algorithm at 11 institutions were analyzed in this retrospective study. Clinical and pathologic data were reviewed, and logistic regression was applied to identify predictive factors for SLN involvement.
Artificial intelligence-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging-based pre-operative staging in patients with endometrial cancer.

Objective: Evaluation of prognostic factors is crucial in patients with endometrial cancer for optimal treatment planning and prognosis assessment. This study proposes a deep learning pipeline for tumor and uterus segmentation from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images to predict deep myometrial invasion and cervical stroma invasion and thus assist clinicians in pre-operative workups.
Methods: Two experts consensually reviewed the MRIs and assessed myometrial invasion and cervical stromal invasion as per the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging classification, to compare the diagnostic performance of the model with the radiologic consensus.

Endometrial stromal tumors (ESTs) are uncommon mesenchymal tumors of the reproductive system associated with heterogeneous histomolecular features. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), ESTs are classified into benign endometrial stromal nodules (BESN) and endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESSs), which are further divided into low-grade and high-grade subtypes. High-grade ESS is frequently associated with YWHAE-NUTM2 gene fusions, while a newly recognized subtype with BCOR rearrangements, including fusions, alterations, and internal tandem duplications (ITDs), has recently been incorporated into the molecular classification of ESS.
