Incidental Gynecologic Tract Neoplasms in Women Undergoing Anterior Pelvic Exenteration for Urothelial Carcinoma
This study is aimed to assess the prevalence of unanticipated gynecologic neoplasms in anterior pelvic exenteration specimens. A retrospective review of pathology reports to identify women undergoing anterior pelvic exenteration for UC was performed (N=221), and incidentally discovered gynecologic tract neoplasms were recorded. Concomitant malignant or premalignant lesions of the gynecologic tract were identified in 8 patients (3.6%). These included endometrial adenocarcinoma [endometrioid type, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics grade 1 (n=2, 0.9%)], cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (n=2, 0.9%), Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor of intermediate differentiation (n=1, 0.5%), endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the ovary (n=1, 0.5%), and high-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary (n=1, 0.5%) and fallopian tube (n=1, 0.5%). Benign uterine neoplasms included leiomyomas (n=81, 37%), adenomyoma (n=3, 1.4%), and adenomatoid tumors (n=2, 0.9%). Benign ovarian neoplasms included serous cystadenoma (n=7, 3%), serous cystadenofibroma (n=4, 2%), benign Brenner tumor (n=5, 2.3%), mature teratoma (n=4, 2%), stromal luteoma (n=2, 0.9%), mucinous cystadenoma (n=1, 0.5%), thecoma (n=1, 0.5%), and endometrioid cystadenoma (n=1, 0.5%). Involvement of the gynecologic tract by UC was identified in 11 patients (5%). Spread of UC to the reproductive organs is rare in anterior pelvic exenteration specimens. Coexisting neoplasms of the gynecologic tract are occasionally identif...
