Background: Abdominal tuberculosis is an uncommon variant of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. It accounts for 3.5% of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis is still a challenge due to its non-specific symptoms. Abdominal tuberculosis and ovarian cancer may show similar symptoms, laboratory and imaging features. The goal of our report is to emphasize for the need of a diagnostic approach based on clinical manifestations, laboratory, imaging findings, and additional tests for considering a diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis rather than ovarian cancer. Case presentation: We report 3 cases of abdominal tuberculosis in our Onco-gynaecology Division,
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common type of gynecological cancer worldwide (Pimple et al., 2016). Most cervical cancer is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection (Hashiguchi et al., 2019). There were 528,000 new cases every year, with 266,000 deaths in 2012 worldwide. In developing countries, cervical cancer also has high mortality rates among women (Pimple et al., 2016). There were 14,480 new cases in the United States in 2021 (American Cancer Society, 2021). ( American Cancer Society, 2021). The 5-year survival rate of cervical cancer for stage IB-IVA was 62.6% (Yoon et al., 2015).Recently, there has been increased research on cervical cancer stem cell (CCSC) markers. The role of these markers in cancer development has been extensively highlighted. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
