Endometrial glial polyp and peritoneal gliomatosis: Neuropathological lesions in gynecological biopsy.

The wide scope of neuropathology is also connected to different systemic pathology findings. Neuroectodermal-type female genital tract lesions are not frequent. This article presents a short review of such entities in gynecological pathology and reports on two rare cases. The first described lesion is an endometrial glial polyp in a young woman. The second is a mature cystic teratoma accompanied by a peritoneal gliomatosis in an adolescent girl. Both presented entities posed diagnostic difficulties from the clinical and pathological perspective. They demanded careful sampling, immunophenotyping, as well as neuropathological consultation.
