RESUMO
This report presents the history of a 35-year-old patient with adenoid cystic cervical cancer stage IIIB. Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a rare disease with poor prognosis. Following irradiation therapy, the patient was declared tumor free, and 20 years after diagnosis and treatment, she has no pathological signs or symptoms.

Ovarian monodermal teratoma containing thyroid tissue is a rare tumor. Authors reviewed the records of 94 patients operated for ovarian teratoma in their department between 1986 and 2002, of which 3 patients proved to have struma ovarii. They found that the 3 patients had highly variable clinical symptoms and morphological characteristics including tumor size, pain as main symptom, and the presence or absence of ascites and hormonal activity. It is concluded that struma ovarii appears to be poorly diagnosed, but an extensive histological examination may increase the diagnostic efficacy.

The authors presented a case of a 68-year-old woman with glassy cell carcinoma of the endometrium in FIGO stage IA, treated with hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and radiation therapy. The patient was alive and disease free at the end of 2 years of follow up. Glassy cell carcinoma of the endometrium is a rare neoplasm, with 13 previously cases reported in the literature. Although glassy cell carcinoma is considered to be a poor differentiated variant of adenosquamous carcinoma, its real nature is still debated. In order to establish correct prognosis for this rare entity and to evaluate the nature and clinical significance of glassy cell carcinoma detailed analysis of more cases is required.
