Abstract
This review aims to provide an overview of neoplastic lesions associated with genetic diseases affecting the female reproductive organs. It seeks to enhance our understanding of the radiological aspects in diagnosing genetic diseases including hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndromes, Lynch syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, and Swyer syndrome, and explores the patterns and mechanisms of inheritance that require elucidation. Additionally, we discuss the imaging characteristics of lesions occurring in other regions due to the same genetic diseases.

Novel Strategy for the Management of Cervical Multicystic Diseases. Ann Surg Oncol 2023; 30:2964-2973.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical practices of diagnosing multicystic cervical lesions as a means to develop a more appropriate diagnostic algorithm for gastric-type adenocarcinoma (GAS) and its precursors. METHODS Clinical information for 159 surgically treated patients for multicystic disease of the uterine cervix was collected from 15 hospitals. We performed a central review of the MRI and pathological findings. The MRI findings were categorized into four types including two newly proposed imaging features based on the morphology and distribution of cysts, and the diagnosis accuracy was assessed. Among the four MRI types, types 1 and 2 were categorized as benign lesions that included LEGH; type 3 were precancerous lesions (with an assumption of atypical LEGH); and type 4 were malignant lesions. RESULTS The central pathological review identified 56 cases of LEGH, seven with GAS, four with another form of carcinoma, and 92 with benign disease. In clinical practice, over-diagnosis of malignancy (suspicion of MDA) occurred for 12/19 cases (63.2%) and under-diagnosis of malignancy occurred for 4/11 (36%). Among the 118 patients who had a preoperative MRI and underwent a hysterectomy, type 3 or 4 MRI findings in conjunction with abnormal cytology were positively indicative of premalignancy or malignancy, with a sensitivity and specificity of 61.1% and 96.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Although the correct preoperative diagnosis of cervical cancer with a multicystic lesion is challenging, the combination of cytology and MRI findings creates a more appropriate diagnostic algorithm that significantly improves the diagnostic accuracy for differentiating benign disease from premalignancy and malignancy.

Abstract
AIM Lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia (LEGH) is a multicystic proliferative disorder of the uterine cervix. The aim of this review was to clarify the current understanding of this unique tumor. METHOD This article reviews the chronological progress of research regarding clinico-pathological and genetic aspects of LEGH and related cervical cystic diseases such as Nabothian cyst and adenocarcinoma of gastric type (GAS), using the literature and data from our institute. We also describe clinical management including preoperative diagnosis and adequate surgical/expectant treatment based on the biological features. RESULTS Recent studies revealed several unique aspects of LEGH, that is, (i) production of gastric mucin, (ii) symptomatic and histological similarity with minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (MDA), and (iii) frequent association with GAS, including MDA. These findings indicated that LEGH is a gastric metaplasia, as well as pre-cancerous neoplasia. For the preoperative diagnosis of LEGH, the combination of "cosmos" sign on magnetic resonance imaging, detection of gastric mucin, and lack of nuclear atypia on cytology is important. Cone biopsy is effective for pathological diagnosis. Simple hysterectomy is indicated as surgical treatment for LEGH; however, meticulous follow-up is also an option, especially for young patients, because the rate of malignant transformation was reported to be 1%-2%. For LEGH patients who selected follow-up, a worsening cytology and increase in lesion size were important signs of malignant change of LEGH for safe follow-up. CONCLUSION Proper understanding of the characteristics of LEGH is important for adequate management.

Usefulness of the 'cosmos pattern' for differentiating between cervical gastric-type mucin-positive lesions and other benign cervical cystic lesions in magnetic resonance images. J Obstet Gynaecol Res 2020; 47:745-756. [PMID: 33331010 DOI: 10.1111/jog.14602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2020] [Revised: 10/31/2020] [Accepted: 12/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the usefulness of the 'cosmos pattern' (CP) on magnetic resonance (MR) images for differentiating between gastric-type mucin-positive lesions (GMPL) and gastric-type mucin-negative lesions (GMNL). METHODS This study included 131 patients with clinical suspicion of lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia (LEGH) who underwent pelvic MR imaging and a Pap smear and/or latex agglutination assay. Differences in MR findings, such as cyst and solid component patterns, cervical location and T1-weighted image (T1WI) signal intensity, were compared between GMPL and GMNL. The diagnostic performances of the findings were assessed. RESULTS The frequencies of CP (63.1%), upper part (UP) lesions (72.3%) and hypointense area compared with the cervical stroma on T1WI (61.3%) were significantly greater in GMPL than in GMNL (P < 0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and odds ratio of the CP for diagnosis of GMPL were 63.1%, 87.9%, 83.7%, 70.7% and 12.4, respectively. In GMNL, a 'macrocystic pattern' was observed in 65.2% of patients; an isointense or hyperintense area on T1WI was observed in 86.4% of patients. The sensitivity was highest (90.8%) when one or more of the following were observed: CP, UP lesion, or hypointense area on T1WI. The specificity was highest (95.5%) when the CP was observed as a hypointense area on T1WI. CONCLUSION The CP is a highly specific finding for diagnosis of GMPL. If the CP is observed as a hypointense area compared with the cervical stroma on T1WI, GMPL (i.e., LEGH or gastric-type mucinous carcinoma) should be strongly suspected.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Atypical polypoid adenomyomas (APAs) are uncommon tumours consisting of atypical endometrioid glands and fibromyomatous stroma. Identifying the biphasic nature of atypical glandular components and spindle mesenchymal components without atypia is crucial for the cytological diagnosis of APA. We investigated the utility of lesion-targeted cytology (LTC) to directly collect firm spindle components. METHODS We recruited seven consecutive surgical patients who underwent cytological examinations before surgery and were diagnosed with APA on postoperative histological examinations. Cytological smears were obtained by routine sampling in five cases and by targeted sampling using transvaginal ultrasonography, that is, LTC, in two cases. We retrospectively analysed the cytological findings from our cases and compared them to those of APA cases previously reported in the English literature. RESULTS Among 5/7 cases that involved routine cytological sampling, normal cytological findings were found in 2 and atypical glandular cells were found in 3, but spindle cells from mesenchymal components were not detected. In contrast, among 2/7 cases in which sampling involved LTC, spindle cells without atypia, in addition to atypical glandular cells were found. CONCLUSIONS Lesion-targeted cytology is useful to assess mesenchymal components of APAs and may improve the cytological diagnosis of APA.
