Introduction:  Malignant mesonephric tumors are uncommon in the female genital tract, and they are usually located where embryonic remnants of Wolffian ducts are detected, such as the uterine cervix. The information about these tumors, their treatment protocol, and prognosis are scarce.

Case Report:  A 60-year-old woman with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding was initially diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma. After suspicion co-testing, the patient underwent a loop electrosurgical excision of the cervix and was eventually diagnosed with mesonephric adenocarcinoma. She was subjected to a radical hysterectomy, which revealed International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) IB1 stage, and adjuvant radiotherapy. The follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence after 60 months.

Conclusion:  We present the case of a woman with cervical mesonephric adenocarcinoma. When compared with the literature, this case had the longest clinical follow-up without evidence of recurrence, which reinforces the concept that these tumors are associated with a favorable prognosis if managed according to the guidelines defined for the treatment of patients with cervical adenocarcinomas. Though a rare entity, it should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis for other cervical cancers.

Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a newly recognized type of carcinoma that occurs in the uterus and ovaries. MLA exhibits distinct morphological and immunophenotypical features similar to those of mesonephric carcinoma of the cervix or vagina, with the majority of reported tumors containing mutations. MLA is exceedingly rare and appears to be associated with aggressive clinical behavior.

Background: Nephrogenic adenoma (NA) is a rare benign tumor that can develop at any site of the urinary system, with the bladder being the most common, followed by the urethra, ureters, renal pelvises, etc. Currently, it is unclear what the pathogenesis of NA is. This study discussed a rare case of malignant transformation from NA to mesonephric adenocarcinoma of the bladder.

Aims: Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) of the endometrium is often a diagnostic challenge, due to its morphological resemblance to other more common Müllerian neoplasms. This study aimed to retrospectively identify overlooked MLA in a large endometrial carcinoma cohort, using a combination of immunohistochemistry (IHC), morphology and KRAS sequencing.

Methods And Results: IHC was conducted on 1094 endometrial carcinomas, identifying 16 potential MLA cases based on GATA3+ and/or TTF1+ and ER- staining patterns, which subsequently underwent detailed histological review, KRAS sequencing and ProMisE molecular classification.

Background: Testicular yolk sac tumor (YST) is a rare neoplasm with limited practical guidance for preoperative diagnostic assessment. This study aims to conduct a retrospective analysis of the value of clinical profiles and MRI parameters in accurately diagnosing pediatric testicular YST while exploring characteristic indicators for these patients.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed eighty patients with a testicular mass who underwent surgical treatment and preoperative MRI.
