Synchronous mucinous metaplasia and neoplasia of the ovarium and fallopian tube with STK11 and KRAS mutations: a case report.

Synchronous mucinous metaplasia and neoplasia of the female genital tract (SMMN-FGT) is a rare disorder defined as mucinous lesions affecting at least two sites in the female genital tract. We report a case of SMMN-FGT in a Caucasian 65-year-old patient with a right adnexal mass. The patient underwent radical surgery and histological examination showed mucinous ovarian carcinoma combined with mucinous metaplasia of the fallopian tube.

Evaluation of the significance of isolated tumor cells in gynecological cancers.

In gynecological oncology, sentinel lymph node biopsy with ultrastaging is increasingly used in cervical, endometrial and vulvar cancers. Isolated tumor cells (ITCs) are encountered much more commonly in this scenario than when standard histologic evaluation of non-sentinel lymph nodes is performed. The prognostic implication of ITCs in gynecological cancers is not well defined and international guidelines do not offer clear guidance regarding the management of gynecological cancers with ITCs.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy without systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy in females with early-stage cervical cancer: final outcome of the SENTIX prospective, single-arm, noninferiority, international trial.

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy with ultrastaging is standard in endometrial and vulvar cancers, whereas systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy (PLND) remains recommended in cervical cancer. The SENTIX trial prospectively evaluated the safety of SLN biopsy without PLND in early-stage cervical cancer. Female patients, International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics 2018 stage IA1/LVSI+ to IB2 disease, were enrolled between 2016 and 2020 across 47 sites in 18 countries.

TRPS1 expression in 451 tubo-ovarian tumours: a potential prognostic marker for high-grade serous carcinoma.

Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type 1; transcriptional repressor GATA binding 1 (TRPS1), a member of the GATA transcription factor family, functions primarily as a transcriptional repressor. TRPS1 is frequently utilised as a diagnostic marker for breast carcinoma, although its specificity is lower than previously believed. Moreover, TRPS1 is expressed in various solid tumours originating from the skin, salivary glands, soft tissues, prostate, urothelium, and female genital tract.

Decoding the Molecular Landscape of 262 Uterine Sarcomas: RNA-Seq Clustering of Endometrial Stromal Sarcomas, Uterine Tumors Resembling Ovarian Sex Cord Tumors, and Undifferentiated Uterine Sarcomas With Prognostic Insights.

Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas (LG-ESS), high-grade ESS (HG-ESS), undifferentiated uterine sarcomas (UUS), and uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors are distinct non-smooth muscle cell neoplasms with varying clinical outcomes, often exhibiting overlapping characteristics. Diagnosis can be supported by identifying characteristic recurrent translocations, which may be absent in some cases, complicating the distinction of equivocal cases. Additionally, cases with overlapping features of low-grade and high-grade characteristics are recognized.
