The traditional classification of Ovarian Cancer (OC), which includes High-Grade Serous Carcinoma (HGSC), Endometrioid Carcinoma (EC), Clear Cell Carcinoma (CCC), and Mucinous Carcinoma (MC), has been used worldwide....
Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is a medical emergency-characterized by organ dysfunction which is caused by intra-abdominal hypertension. Clinical signs are often non-specific and it is associated with high rate of mortality and morbidity when it is not recognized and managed promptly. Although ACS has not been commonly observed in gynaecological patients, it remains a potential risk especially in gynaecologic-oncology patients – many of whom will require extensive debulking surgery...
Inflammatory ovarian masses may be difficult to distinguish preoperatively from ovarian malignancies. We present a case of a 54-year old woman with an ovarian mass, diagnosed during a COVID 19-infection. She underwent surgery because of pain and a challenging differential diagnosis on imaging. The frozen section was inconclusive and the final pathological examination showed no malignancy but only an inflammatory mass.

Further extensive investigations revealed sarcoidosis, associated with a specific inflammatory changes...
Since the introduction of cytology or Pap test (Pap) in 1943, the cervicovaginal Pap has been used as the standard screening test for cervical cancer and its dissemination contributed to the reduction of incidence and mortality for cervical cancer worldwide, the incidence of cervical cancer has steadily declined, cases of deaths related to cervical cancer, are reported every year due to false negative results. Therefore, new detection methods have been proposed. LiquidBased Cytology (LBC) was introduced in 1996 to overcome the limitations of conventional Pap tests.
Purpose: Lymphocele is a cystic cavity with a fibrous capsule that contains lymphatic fluid. Our objective is to describe physical therapy approach for leg lymphedema after endometrial cancer treatment that resulted in an increase of a pelvic lymphocele.
Client description: A 59-year-old woman with endometrial high-grade adenocarcinoma was referred to our center with a history of pelvic and leg lymphedema followed by a pelvic lump, subsequently diagnosed as pelvic lymphocele.
Introduction: Despite the magnitude of improvement in Overall Survival (OS) obtained in the GOG172, Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (IPC) in advanced Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) has not been widely accepted as a standard procedure due to toxic effects. This together with negative results in recent Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs) suggested a need for this meta-analysis.
Background and objectives: Vasomotor disturbances are among the most important side effects of tamoxifen. It is the most widely used anti-cancer drug in the world which may affect the quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the effect of omega 3 on vasomotor disturbances in women taking tamoxifen for breast cancer.
Study objective: To determine the frequency and outcome of significant pathology in morcellated hysterectomy and myomectomy specimens and to provide a detailed pathologic account on its relative clinical safety.
Design: This is a retrospective audit of morcellated uterine specimens where preoperative, operative, pathology, adjuvant therapy (when available) and follow up data were collected. Overt malignancy and high risk pathology cases were further analyzed.
