Partial mole vs. complete mole

|
What stain can distinguish complete from partial hydatidiform moles?
|
p57^kip is expressed from maternal allele in most tissues. Therefore, it is underexpressed in complete moles. Syncytiotrophoblastic cells are nonreactive and maternal decidualized stromal cells are strongly reactive in all types of gestations.

|
|

|
high-grade serous carcinomas
|
|

|
Extrauterine involvement by the tumor at presentation is common.
Post menopausal women, poor prx |
|
What is this disease and how is it transmitted?
|
Molluscum contagiosum
Direct contact, often sexually transmitted. DNA poxvirus (Molluscipoxvirus genus) These lesions typically present as painless, dome-shaped papules with or without central umbilication and can present in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. |
|
The image depicts a representative section of a polypoid uterine mass removed from a 68-year-old woman. What histologic feature portends a poor prognosis?
|
Adenosarcoma
Myometrial invasion and especially sarcomatous overgrowth in adenosarcoma is associated with a poor prognosis. |
|

|
Presence of invasive implants in the peritoneum
Serous borderline tumor with micropapillary architecture |
|
The photomicrograph is representative of a uterine mass removed from a 55-year-old woman who presented with post-menopausal bleeding. Immunohistochemistry reveals that the tumor cells are + for SMA & HMB45 while negative for S100, desmin, and CK7. What is the most likely diagnosis?
|
Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor
PEComa |
|
The image depicts a representative section from a hysterectomy specimen removed for uterine fibroids from a 49-year-old woman. What is this?
|
This is a cytologically bland smooth muscle proliferation that extends into intravascular spaces, c/w INTRAVASCULAR LEIOMYOMATOSIS (IVL). Tumor can extend into the veins of the broad ligament and can even extend into the IVC resulting in sxs such as dyspnea & syncope. Cytogenetically, similar karyotypic abnormalities are observed in IVL as in uterine leiomyomas; specifically, der(14)t(12;14)(q15;24). Hence, IVL is considered to be related to uterine leiomyomata of the usual type.
|
|
The image depicts an incidentally found intraplacental nodule from a term placenta associated with a normal pregnancy that resulted in the birth of a healthy baby boy. What is this entity?
|
intraplacental choriocarcinoma
This is rare in placentas & when discovered grossly often described as infarcts. Beta-hCG levels should be monitored in the mother & infant to determine whether further metastatic evaluation is indicated. Maternal metastases can be encountered but metastases in the infant are rare; hence, infants fare well. Choriocarcinoma is typically managed by chemotx w/ an overall disease-free survival approaching 90%. |
|
The photomicrograph depicts the only finding in the right ovary of a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy specimen obtained from a 41-year-old woman. What is this associated w/?
