This new suggested classification depends on the 3-dimentional concept of parametrium and paracolpium and the comprehensive description of the anatomy of parametrium, paracolpium and the pelvic autonomic nerve system. Each type in this classification tailored to the tumour stage according to FIGO- classification from 2018, taking into account the tumour size, localization and infiltration in the vaginal vault, which may make it the most suitable tool for planning and tailoring the surgery of radical hysterectomy. Abstract: The current understanding of radical hysterectomy more is centered on the uterus and little is being discussed about the resection of the vaginal cuff and the paracolpium as an essential part of this procedure. This is because that the current classifications of radical hysterectomy are based only on the lateral extent of resection. This way is easier to be understood but does not reflect Citation: Muallem, M.Z.

Seung-Ho Lee1, Kyoung-Joo Cho1, Mi-Hyang Ko1, Hyun-Yee Cho2, Kwang-Beom Lee1, Soyi Lim1 1Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2Pathology, Gil Medical Center, Gachon University of Medicine and Science, Incheon, Korea Objective To detect the possible clinicopathologic factors associated with parametrial involvement in patients with stage IB1 cervical cancer and to identify a cohort of patients who may benefit from less radical surgery. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 120 patients who underwent radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy as treatment for stage IB1 cervical cancer. Results Overall, 18 (15.0%) patients had parametrial tumor involvement. Tumor size larger than 2 cm, invasion depth greater than 1 cm, presence of lymphovascular space involvement (LVSI), corpus involvement, and positive lymph nodes were statistically associated with parametrial involvement. Multivariate analysis for other factors showed invasion depth >1 cm (P=0.029), and corpus involvement (P=0.022) were significantly associated with parametrial involvement. A subgroup with tumor size smaller than 2 cm showed no parametrial involvement, regardless of invasion depth or presence of LVSI. Conclusion Tumor size smaller than 2 cm showed no parametrial involvement, regardless of invasion depth or presence of LVSI. Invasion depth >1 cm and corpus involvement were significantly associated with parametrial involvement in multivariate analysis. These finding may suggest that tumor size may a strong predictor of parametrial involvement in International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IB1 cervical cancer, which can be used to select a subgroup population for less radical surgery.

Most patients have no apparent symptoms and are usually diagnosed accidentally during imaging examinations. The vast majority of patients with liver cysts follow a benign course, with very few serious complications and rare reports of malignant changes. Case Presentation: We present two cases of liver cysts that evolved into intrahepatic tumors during the follow-up process. The rst patient had undergone a fenestration and drainage operation for the liver cyst, and the cancer was found at the cyst’s position in the third year after the procedure. Microscopically, bile duct cells formed the cyst wall. Tumor cells can be seen on the cyst wall and its surroundings to form adenoid structures of different sizes, shapes, and irregular arrangements, some of which are arranged in clusters.

CEUS, by using a blood pool contrast agent, can provide dynamic information concerning macro- and micro-circulation of focal lesions and of normal parenchyma, without the use of ionizing radiation.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play important roles in tumor growth and invasion. Earlier studies on pancreatic cancer have found increased expression of certain MMPs to correlate with poorer prognosis, short survival time or presence of metastases. We studied the expression of MMP-21, -26, and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMP)-4 in 50 tissue samples, including 25 adenocarcinomas, seven other malignant pancreatic tumors, and 18 control samples of non-neoplastic pancreatic tissue with immunohistochemistry. The regulation of MMP-21, -26, and TIMP-4 mRNAs by cytokines was studied with RT-PCR in pancreatic cancer cell lines PANC-1, BxPC-3, and AsPC-1. MMP-21, -26, and TIMP-4 were detected in cancer cells in 64, 40, and 60% of tumors, respectively. MMP-21 expressed in well-differentiated cancer cells and occasional fibroblasts, like TIMP-4, tended to diminish in intensity from grade I to grade III tumors.

Variances in endometriosis lesions’ appearance and distorted anatomy secondary to adhesions and fibrosis present as major difficulties during the complete sonographic evaluation of pelvic endometriosis. Currently, differential diagnosis of endometriosis to distinguish it from other diseases represents the hardest challenge and affects subsequent treatment. Several gynecological and non-gynecological conditions can mimic deep-infiltrating endometriosis. For example, abdominopelvic endometriosis may present as atypical lesions by ultrasound. Here, we present an overview of benign and malignant diseases that may resemble endometriosis of the internal genitalia, bowels, bladder, ureter, peritoneum, retroperitoneum, as well as less common locations. An accurate diagnosis of endometriosis has significant clinical impact and is important for appropriate treatment.
