Primary Peritoneal Serous Cancer: A Case Report of a Tumor in the Rectovaginal Septum
Case Reports in Oncological Medicine, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Peritoneal cancer is the invasion by malignant cells of serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity, the viscera, and the coelom of the amniotes. Histologically, it is indistinguishable from ovarian counterpart, although in the former, it commonly involves the ovary only superficially, or it may totally lack an ovarian component, but with extensive

Primary extra-uterine and extra-ovarian mullerian adenosarcoma: case report and literature review
BMC Cancer, 2018 Background Extra-uterine mullerian adenosarcomas have varying biological behaviours depending on the presence of endometriosis or sarcomatous overgrowth. These behaviours manifest according to the tumours’ histological characteristics and sites of origin.
