Primary pelvic extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma: a case report and comprehensive literature review of molecularly confirmed cases arising within the female genital tract. (PubMed, Gynecol Oncol Rep)
We present a unique case of primary pelvic extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma in a previously healthy young woman with localized invasion into the uterus, vagina, and bladder. Given the rarity of this disease, paucity of data, and potential for misdiagnosis, clinicians must maintain high suspicion for pelvic extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma.

Uterine leiomyoma and cystic endometrial hyperplasia in a captive older adult Asian elephant (Elephas maximus): A case report. (PubMed, Open Vet J)
Based on the anatomopathological, histochemical, and immunohistochemical findings, uterine leiomyoma and cystic endometrial hyperplasia were diagnosed. This case highlights the importance of diagnosing neoplasms and other conditions in captive elephants to better understand the diseases affecting these animals.

Values of ATRX protein expression and ALT activation in differential diagnosis of uterine leiomyosarcoma (PubMed, Zhonghua Bing Li Xue Za Zhi)
Combined detection of ATRX expression and ALT activation status can effectively assist in the differential diagnosis of uLMS from its mimickers. In addition, the presence of ATRX loss and/or ALT activation in STUMP and uLM suggests a malignant potential and seems to warrant close clinical follow-up and individualized diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Overexpression of a subset of long intergenic noncoding RNAs in uterine serous carcinoma predicts poor prognosis. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
Our results highlight that these lincRNAs can serve as new biomarkers for the prognostic prediction of USC. In particular, ENSG00000204277 may be used as a therapeutic target for USC.

Metastasis of Breast Lobular Carcinoma to the Uterine Cervix: A Narrative Review. (PubMed, Diagnostics (Basel))
Metastasis of breast ILCs to the uterine cervix poses a significant diagnostic challenge. A high index of clinical suspicion and detailed clinical history are essential for accurate diagnosis.

When Breast Cancer Meets the Uterus: A Quantitative Review of 105 Cases Spanning Four Decades. (PubMed, Medicina (Kaunas))
Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) demonstrates a documented predilection for unusual metastatic patterns including the female genital tract, while tamoxifen-associated endometrial pathology may complicate diagnosis in breast cancer survivors...Endometrial sampling should be considered with a low threshold in breast cancer survivors with abnormal uterine bleeding, and breast imaging is warranted when discohesive cells are encountered without a known breast primary. These proportions describe the published case literature rather than population-based prevalence; because the evidence is limited to case reports and small series, they should not be read as the true frequency of uterine involvement among women with breast cancer.

Clinicopathologic characteristics of uterine malignant epithelioid neoplasms with EWSR1::CREM fusion: Report of 2 cases at a novel site with literature review. (PubMed, Virchows Arch)
Next-generation sequencing and fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed the EWSR1 (exon 15)::CREM (exon 6) fusion in both cases. These uterine neoplasms broaden the spectrum of malignant epithelioid neoplasms and should be included in the differential diagnosis of epithelioid neoplasms involving the female reproductive system.

Machine Learning Algorithm for the Detection of Tumor Microsatellite Instability Based on Multiomics Biomarkers. (PubMed, JCO Clin Cancer Inform)
Our ML approach accurately predicted MSI status in colorectal and uterine cancers using multiomics data derived from NGS, without relying on direct microsatellite sequencing. The ability to identify MSI-high tumors among indeterminate cases demonstrates potential to improve diagnostic precision and ensures timely access to immunotherapy for patients with MSI-high disease.

Undifferentiated Carcinoma of the Endometrium: Morphology, Immunophenotype, and Differential Diagnoses to Avoid Diagnostic Pitfalls. (PubMed, Pathol Int)
These immunophenotypes are not specific because other epithelial and non-epithelial uterine tumors may exhibit overlapping features. Therefore, a comprehensive pathological understanding of UEC is essential for avoiding diagnostic pitfalls and improving diagnostic accuracy.
