Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Genital cancer represents a significant public health problem, being one of the leading causes of death among women. Advances in oncological research have led to considerable progress, offering various diagnostic and therapeutic methods for successfully managing these life-threatening pathologies with improved prognosis and quality of life. Screening programs also contribute to early cancer detection and allow early case management. This SIaims to disseminate the results of research in the field of genital neoplasia to improve the long-term prognosis of patients and increase the quality of life of genital malignancy patients and survivors, families and caregivers. The continuous development of science in the field of oncology has led to the discovery and implementation of new methods of diagnosis and therapy that support specialists in the fight against cancer. To this end, we are interested in original research, short communications of preliminary but significant results, reviews and case reports that will present the latest advances in the gynecology oncology field and lead to improved diagnostic and treatment processes.

Abstract
Breast cancer stands as the primary cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide, often presenting with distant metastases upon diagnosis. Ovarian metastases originating from breast cancer represent a range of 3–30% of all ovarian neoplasms. Case Report: Herein, we present the histopathological, histochemical, [...] Read more.
Breast cancer stands as the primary cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide, often presenting with distant metastases upon diagnosis. Ovarian metastases originating from breast cancer represent a range of 3–30% of all ovarian neoplasms. Case Report: Herein, we present the histopathological, histochemical, and immunohistochemical findings of a rare case involving mucin-producing lobular breast carcinoma metastasizing to an ovarian fibroma in an 82-year-old female previously diagnosed with lobular breast carcinoma. Histopathological examination of the excised tissues revealed a biphasic neoplasm characterized by tumor cells expressing AE-1/AE-3 cytokeratin, mammaglobin, GCDFP-15, inhibin, and calretinin. Positive mucin staining was observed using histochemical techniques, and reticulin fibers were demonstrated using the Gordon–Sweets technique. A final diagnosis of mucin-producing lobular breast carcinoma metastatic to a benign ovarian fibroma was rendered. Conclusion: The occurrence of metastatic breast carcinoma overlaid on an ovarian tumor represents a rare and diagnostically challenging scenario. Full article
