Background: The International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) group developed a catalog of standardized terms to describe findings that may be associated with uterine pathology. However, there is a lack of reliability studies for these descriptors in the literature. Objective: The objective of this study was to estimate interobserver and intraobserver reliability with regard to the IETA group descriptors for endometrial vascular characteristics in women with abnormal uterine bleeding. Materials and Methods: Five nonexpert and five expert raters assessed stored still images of transvaginal ultrasound examinations obtained from 68 women with abnormal uterine bleeding and endometrial thickening. Endometrial vascularity was evaluated using the IETA group descriptors for color flow and vascular pattern. Interobserver agreement was estimated by comparing the assessments of the nonexpert and expert raters. Intraobserver agreement was estimated by repeating the raters’ assessment after 4 weeks. Interrater agreement to the subjective assessment of an expert investigator was also computed. Results and Conclusion The reproducibility of assigning IETA color score is good regardless of the degree of expertise of the rater, although the experts displayed better interobserver reliability (κ = 0.74 vs. 0.57) and intraobserver reliability (κ = 0.84 vs. 0.63). However, the reproducibility of describing IETA vascular patterns is significantly worse for both expert and nonexpert raters in both interobserver reliability (experts κ = 0.49 vs. 0.34) and intraobserver reliability (experts κ = 0.65 vs. 0.42). Both expert and nonexpert raters exhibited acceptable agreement with the reference standard, with experts performing better for both color score (κ = 0.79 vs. 0.70) and vascular pattern (κ = 0.63 vs. 0.44).
Endometrium

Multiple primary malignant neoplasm means that more than 2 cancers are independently developed in one individual. In general, the neoplasms are diagnosed simultaneously or within 6 month interval. Simultaneous presentation of carcinomas involving ovary and uterus is not a common event and presents a diagnostic dilemma when they are of the same histology. We experienced a rare case of multiple primary malignant neoplasm involving the uterine endometrium and the ovary synchronously. Thus we report this case with a review of literatures.

The association of carcinoma and tuberculosis in any organ is rare and in the endometrium is extremely rare. Only a small number of cases of endometrial tuberculosis with coexisting endometrial adenocarcinoma have been reported in the literature. We experienced a case of endometrial tuberculosis with coexisting endometrial adenocarcinoma and report with a brief review of literature.

A female patient with 33 ages suffered the ischiorectal lesion that experienced incision without removal of lesion. The features suggested the ischiorectal endometria included solid organ caused pain in the ischiorectal region, no fever, increased pain and bigger organ during menstruation. The total removal operation of this organ and microscopic tests was carried out to treat and affirm the ischiorectal endometria
