RESUMO
Adenocarcinoma of the endometrium is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract in developed countries. Hysteroscopy has turned into a widely used procedure to improve curettage-biopsy sensibility. Uncertainties have arisen about the hysteroscopic endometrial carcinoma diagnostic sensibility its safety due to the possibility of peritoneal seeding. A MEDLINE and Cochrane Library search was performed. We found that the hysteroscopic diagnosis has low incidence of complications and high diagnostic rate for endometrial carcinoma. There are cytological, case reports and retrospectives studies showing both an increase and also non-increase of seeding risk of cancer cells.

El sarcoma sinovial es un tumor mesenquimático de tejidos blandos que se encuentra raramente ubicado en la región de cabeza y cuello. Estos tumores se presentan predominantemente en pacientes adultos jóvenes de sexo masculino, ubicándose generalmente en el espacio parafaríngeo. Reportamos el caso de un paciente con sarcoma sinovial bifásico de alto grado de la pared posterior de la faringe, al que se efectuó una resección en dos etapas, seguidas de radioterapia post operatoria.
Synovial sarcoma is a mesenchymal soft-tissue tumor rarely found in the head and neck region. These tumors occur most commonly in young-adult male patients and generally localize in the parapharyngeal space. We report the case of a patient with a high grade biphasic synovial sarcoma of the posterior wall of the pharynx, to whom a two-stages resection was effected, following by post surgical radiotherapy sessions.
