Article Synopsis
- The text highlights the significance of frozen section diagnosis in identifying ovarian actinomycosis, which can mimic ovarian carcinoma, particularly in women who do not use intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs).
- Three cases from a hospital in Turkey (2001-2003) detail how women aged 37, 45, and 47, initially diagnosed with ovarian carcinoma, were found to have actinomycosis during surgery, leading to effective antibiotic treatment and recovery.
- The discussion emphasizes that pelvic actinomycosis can be misdiagnosed due to its rare presentation and similarities to malignancy, urging surgeons to recognize this infection to avoid unnecessary surgeries and complications for patients.
In this study we investigated FHIT (Fragile Histidine Triad) protein alterations in cervical carcinomas to assess the relation of this gene with cervical cancer. Eighty-eight patients with surgically treated FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) stage IB carcinomas of the cervix were included in this study. Clinicopathologic prognostic factors were compared with FHIT expression status.
