Malacoplakia is an uncommon chronic granulomatous inflammation that rarely affects the female genital tract. A case of a 78-year-old woman with malacoplakia involving the uterine cervix and the vagina is described. The patient complained of vaginal bleeding. Clinically, a 13-mm mass was detected in the cervix, which was confirmed by ultrasound scan and magnetic resonance imaging. Histological examination showed a dense histiocytic infiltrate with abundant Michaelis–Gutmann bodies involving the uterine cervix and the upper vagina. The presence of Escherichia coli was confirmed in the lesion by immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction. Only 12 cases of cervical malacoplakia have been reported to date. This condition should be included in the differential diagnosis of cervical tumors.

Malignant melanoma is a rare cancer, its incidence being 1% of all cancers. Malignant melanoma of the female genital tract is even rarer with incidence of 3% to 7% of all malignant melanomas. It usually occurs in postmenopausal women. We present a case of malignant melanoma of the uterine cervix in a multiparous premenopausal 29 year old female. She underwent a modified radical hysterectomy. She was stage III and was treated with external beam radiotherapy to the pelvis followed by brachytherapy. Since then the patient was on regular follow up until she developed lung metastasis. Malignant melanoma of the cervix has very less data in literature. Through this case report we will emphasize on the role of radiotherapy in malignant melanoma of uterine cervix

La leucemia mieloide extramedular (LME), también conocida como sarcoma granulocítico, es una manifestación extramedular de la leucemia mieloide aguda. Puede presentarse virtualmente en todos los sitios del organismo y en cualquier momento de la evolución de la enfermedad primaria. Se define como una lesión tumoral compuesta de células mieloides inmaduras que se localiza en cualquier sitio extramedular.Se reporta el caso de una paciente de 39 años de edad quien se presentó con compromiso uterino que simuló un carcinoma endometrial y en quien finalmente se diagnosticó LME con compromiso uterino, en el contexto de una leucemia mieloide aguda (LMA). Se presenta una revisión de la literatura y se resaltan los aspectos más importantes de la enfermedad.Metodología: con el fin de conocer los aspectos más relevantes de esta enfermedad como frecuencia, manifestaciones clínicas y diagnóstico histopatológico, tratamiento y pronóstico, reportados en la literatura, se utilizaron las bases de datos Medline y Ovid y se hizo la búsqueda con las palabras clave granulocytic sarcoma, extramedullary leukemia, myeloid sarcoma, female genital tract, uterus, uterine cervix, endometrium.Resultados: dos revisores evaluaron la pertinencia de los artículos y seleccionaron aquellos que trataban los aspectos relevantes del tema o hacían referencia al tracto genital femenino y específicamente al útero (uterus, uterine cervix). Se realizó nueva búsqueda con base en las referencias de algunos artículos. La búsqueda arrojó en total 123 artículos que se referían a diversos aspectos de la enfermedad y las diferentes partes del cuerpo involucradas. Se seleccionaron 14 artículos pertinentes, incluyendo uno de revisión sobre leucemia mieloide extramedular en general.La mayoría de los artículos son reporte de casos, reportes breves y revisión de algunos aspectos de la enfermedad, en series pequeñas de pacientes. Ningún artículo se refiere específicamente al compromiso del endometrio.Conclusiones: el compromiso del útero por LME es raro y la información disponible en la literatura acerca de esta entidad es escasa, y consiste básicamente de informes de casos y de análisis por agrupamiento de los temas publicados. Hay consenso en la dificultad del diagnóstico inicial de esta enfermedad, en su mal pronóstico y en su tratamiento, aunque la experiencia es limitada.

The contradictory opinions prevailing in the sciences regarding the use of the so-called objective antiseptics in obstetrics forced W. to discuss the controversial issue of asepticity or non-asepticity of female genital tracts, and he came to some results. The genital tract of an unexamined pregnant woman breaks up in bacteriological relation into two sections: the lower one, rich in microorganisms, and the upper one, completely free of microbes. The border between both sections is located in the middle part of the cervical canal and is caused on the one hand by constantly renewing cervical mucus, which is a poor nutrient medium for microorganisms, and on the other hand, by phagocytosis, which has a place in the lower part of the uterine cervix, due to the property of the vaginal secretion of the vagina. from the surrounding tissues.
