Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

6.5K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

4.7K
The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Gynecologic Oncology

Background:

  • Epithelioid angiosarcoma of the vagina is a rare entity.
  • It is frequently misdiagnosed as other epithelial neoplasms due to similar histological features.

Observation:

  • A case of a 22-year-old woman with a lesion on the vaginal wall initially diagnosed as a condyloma-like tumor.
  • Histopathological examination revealed sheets of large, epithelioid cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, vesicular nuclei, and prominent nucleoli.

Findings:

  • Immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis of epithelioid angiosarcoma.
  • The patient experienced a relapse of the disease despite chemotherapy.

Implications:

  • Accurate and timely diagnosis of vaginal epithelioid angiosarcoma is crucial.
  • Radical hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy may be a necessary treatment option for refractory cases.
