[A tumor of the uterus with a falsely benign aspect].

Published: November 2022

We report the case of a 79 year-old woman, who was admitted in the department of digestive surgery for an occlusive syndrome. The abdominopelvic computed tomography revealed a voluminous mass infiltrating the uterus, the bladder and the colon. A monobloc surgery is performed. The histopathological examination evidences an invasion of these organs by a well-differentiated glandular proliferation composed of epithelial cells without atypia stained with keratin 7 and carcinoembryonar antigen, without expression of p16, hormonal receptors and keratin 20. Ki-67 labeling index was low. The diagnosis of minimal deviation gastric mucinous adenocarcinoma was proposed. This is an uncommon neoplasm comprising approximately 1% of all endocervical adenocarcinomas. This is a difficult histopathological which should be known by pathologist. It is correlated to a poor clinical outcome with a high tendency to lymph node and extra-uterine metastases, as illustrated in our observation.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a key factor in the development of cervical cancer and HPV genotyping is crucial for screening. There are significant differences in the pathogenic potential of the various HPV types. Currently, clinical data on HPV82 are scarce, and the relationship between its viral load, pathogenicity, and persistence is unknown.

Cervical cancer, one of the most common cancers in women, is primarily driven by high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) infections, particularly HPV-16. Co-infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been reported to exacerbate disease progression by influencing HPV genome integration. This study examines HPV-16 integration status, p16INK4a expression, and their relationship with EBV co-infection and viral load in cervical cancer cases.

Persistence of high-risk Human papillomaviruses (HR-HPV) infection increases the risk of precancerous lesions development. The aim of this study was to assess the persistence and clearance rate of HPV infection. A prospective cohort study was conducted between January and December 2023 among patients attending gynecology unit of FHCSH in Bahir Dar, northwest Ethiopia.

Gold standard genomic datasets severely under-represent non-European populations, leading to inequities and a limited understanding of human disease. Therapeutics and outcomes remain hidden because we lack insights that could be gained from analyzing ancestrally diverse genomic data. To address this significant gap, we present PhyloFrame, a machine learning method for equitable genomic precision medicine.

A prospective ultrasound study of whole blood metals and incidence of uterine leiomyomata.

Department of Public Health Sciences, Henry Ford Health,, Detroit, MI, USA.

Background: Uterine leiomyomata (UL), hormone-dependent neoplasms, are a major source of gynecologic morbidity. Metals are hypothesized to influence UL risk through endocrine disruption, and their effects may vary by vitamin D status.

Objective: We estimated associations of a metal mixture with incident UL, overall and by vitamin D status.
