Key Clinical Message: Although papillary squamotransitional cell carcinoma is an uncommon variant of cervical squamous cell carcinoma, due to the complex papillary structure and the challenge in detecting stromal invasion, its timely diagnosis and treatment are very important. Abstract: Papillary squamotransitional cell carcinoma (PSTCC) is extremely rare and presents with a spectrum of morphologies. PSTCC may present as an in situ tumor with or without an invasion, but usually, it displays both features. Here we report a 60-year-old woman, diagnosed with PSTCC of the uterine cervix.
Swyer syndrome is a 46, XY karyotype, with pure gonadal dysgenesis and primary amenorrhea. These females have primordial Mullerian structures and seek medical attention as they experience primary amenorrhea. Here, we report a 15-year-old girl, diagnosed as Swyer syndrome associated with left ovarian dysgerminoma.
Bladder leiomyoma is a rare benign mesothelial tumor that is more commonly reported in women. Most patients present with frequent urination or obstructive urinary symptoms. Here, we portray a 50-year-old woman who presented to the clinic with abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Imaging showed a lobulated mass at the posterior aspect of the urinary bladder. The pathology of the surgery demonstrated a benign mesenchymal neoplasm composed of interlacing bundles of smooth muscle fibers with a whirling pattern, which eventually confirmed bladder leiomyoma. Although this tumor is benign, it can be misdiagnosed with other diseases such as a urothelial lesion or urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder. Accordingly, it can inevitably affect patient management. Therefore, it must be diagnosed quickly and accurately and appropriate treatment should be applied.
