Cytology of malignant mixed mesodermal tumour of the uterus: experience of 10 cases.

The value of cytology as a diagnostic tool in uterine MMMT has been tested in order to reach an earlier diagnosis. From 10 endocervical scrapings we were able to obtain 7 positive smears, two of them diagnostic for mixed tumour at first examination, 1 detected upon revision. In one case the positive smear was obtained from a direct scraping of the neoplasia protruding through the cervical os.

Dedifferentiating endometrial adenocarcinoma. Report of a case.

A case of well differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma in a 70 year-old patient is reported, which evolved to undifferentiated small cell after being treated with chemotherapy for six months. The possible mechanisms of dedifferentiation are briefly discussed.

Haemangiopericytoma of the lacrimal sac: a case report.

A primary haemangiopericytoma of the lacrimal sac in a 45-year-old male is reported. The neoplasm, highly unusual in this location, recurred twice before being correctly identified. Total excision with surrounding tissue appears to be the treatment of choice for this tumour, the behaviour of which is often unpredictable.

Sclerosing stromal tumour of the ovary. Ultrastructural study.

Two typical cases of sclerosing stromal tumours of the ovary are studied ultrastructurally, and the findings are correlated with the clinical data. One of the cases, with predominantly fibroblastic morphology, was asymptomatic. The second case, rich in cells with steroid-secreting features, had polymenorrhoea disappearing after removal of the tumour. The Authors suggest that clinical symptoms of sclerosing stromal tumour of the ovary depend from the degree of differentiation reached by the tumour cells.
