Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The classification of gynecological tumors has changed in recent years, and various rare variants of the disease have been described or re-classified. At the same time, pathological and radiological criteria for their diagnosis, molecular profiling, and subsequent clinical treatment modalities have been widely developed. 

This Special Issue aims to give readers (gynecologists, oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, and radiotherapists) a clear picture of the new landscape of rare gynecological tumors. It will focus on modern techniques for differential diagnoses and the appropriate clinical management of several diseases that, due to their rarity, are almost forgotten about in the medical literature, aiming to increase the body of knowledge on these tumors.

This Special Issue will accept systematic and narrative reviews, original articles, case reports, and all other types of scientific papers.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Brigida Anna Maiorano
Dr. Vera Loizzi
