Bevacizumab has demonstrated significant benefit in recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube and peritoneal cancer (OC), but its optimal position within the sequence of systemic therapies remains controversial. Since rebound progression after bevacizumab has been observed in other cancers, and because bevacizumab is incorporated in several regimens used in the recurrent setting, the duration of treatment may impact survival. We sought to identify whether earlier bevacizumab exposure is associated with prolonged bevacizumab therapy and survival by conducting a multi-institution retrospective study of recurrent OC patients treated with bevacizumab from 2004-2014...

Sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) is a rare ovarian neoplasia deriving from the sex cord stromal tumor, which occurs usually in the sec- ond and third decades of life. However, the authors report a 46-year old multiparous woman who presented with a cystic-solid left pelvic mass, a large amount of ascites, and elevated serum CA-125, all suggesting a malignant tumor. Surgery was performed and final histopathological diagnosis of the specimen was diagnosed with SST. The authors herein report an extremely rare case of SST with a cystic-solid pelvic mass and a large amount of ascites, which is useful to demonstrate the possibility of SST in multiparous woman...

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) occurs rarely in adults and constitutes 2-6% of all uterine neoplasms. The authors report the case of a 26-year-old woman diagnosed with botryoid RMS that presented discordant progression results on follow up imaging and cytodifferentiation on pathologic control. This case showed that radiological evaluation could be misleading as the tumor demonstrated chemotherapy-induced differentiation without volume reduction. This case illustrates the limitations of using the imaging anatomical dimensions of sarcomas for treatment planning and highlights the potential role of functional imaging to assess the response to treatment...

Mixed endometrial stromal and smooth muscle tumor of the uterus is a rare occurrence, and it is truly challenging to diagnose or dif- ferentiate mesenchymal tumors of the uterine corpus, due to their many overlapping features. In most cases, the gross pathology of mixed endometrial stromal and smooth muscle tumor differs from that of pure endometrial stromal and pure smooth muscle tumors. A 59-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with vaginal spotting, low abdominal pain, and an uterine mass. Subsequent pelvic magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 4...

Primitive Neuroectodermal tumor belongs to the family of Ewing's tumor and is characterized by at (11;22) (q24;ql2) or at (21;22) (q22;ql2) translocation. Retroperitoneal primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) are rare, usually affect young adults, and are often diagnosed late. There is no specific characteristics for imaging. The diagnosis is made on histological examination of the surgical spec- imen or biopsies. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy complete the treatment. The authors report the case of a 26-year-old patient who only had pelvic discomfort...

Primary adenocarcinoma of the vulva is uncommon, and cloacogenic adenocarcinoma of the vulva is extremely rare. Here the authors report a vulvar neoplasm, arising in continuity with the epidermis, characterized by villoglandular architecture, and mucinous-type ep- ithelium with intestinal differentiation (goblet cells). Histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and gene mutation analysis revealed a colon-like pattern, except for CK7 expression. Extensive workup failed to reveal other primary cancers. In order to provide a much bet- ter experience for diagnosis, the authors compared the previously published cases with the present case regarding clinical presentation and histopathologic aspect...

Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) belong to a group of highly malignant tumors comprised of small round cells of neu- roectodermal origin. These tumors can be either of peripheral-type (Ewing family tumors/PNET) or central-type. A number of case re- ports have described PNET involving the gynecologic organs and the prognosis is generally poor. The authors describe the case of a 53-year-old woman with a rapidly progressing central-type PNET of the ovary.

Pathological hypoxia exists in solid tumors and it creates a microenvironment for tumor cells which has a critical and complicated implication for cancer. Hypoxia can also activate autophagy which plays a dual role in cancer. In this study the authors analyzed the effect of hypoxia, the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA), cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP, cisplatin), and any combination of them on PA-l cells (a human ovarian cancer cell line) with a series of assays, focusing on autophagy induction, cell growth inhibition, and cell death by CDDP...

Ovarian tumors present a special diagnostic challenge when imaging findings cannot be categorized into benign or malignant pathology. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently used to evaluate ovarian tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of MRI in patients with benign or malignant ovarian tumors and enhance its diagnostic accuracy. The MRI findings of 48 cases of ovarian tumors, which were confirmed by surgery or pathology from September 2009 to July 2011, were analyzed ret- rospectively...
