“…Examples of the same kind of change were demonstrated in the coverings of the epididymis and in the adjacent tunica by Hartz (1947) and Sundarasivarao (1954). Excellent demonstrations of the phenomenon are given in this second paper.…”

“…This type of epithelium may also form tumours in ovaries (Brenner's tumours). A comparable epithelium has also been found in femoral hernial sacs from males, at the epididymotesticular junction in 1 case (Sundarasivarao, 1953) and in subserosa of the epididymis (Hartz, 1947). In addition, 4 cases of an intrascrotal Brenner's tumour have been described, 1 of which was combined with an adenomatoid tumour (Walker and Mills, 1988).…”

Cysts of the tunica albuginea have been considered very rare. Their clinical significance lies in their presentation as discrete testicular masses often diagnosed as malignancies prior to removal. We report our experience with 6 cases of cysts of the tunica albuginea over a 12-year period and review the relevant literature. It is obvious that these cysts can be both of epithelial and of mesothelial origin. Our material includes a cyst lined by a transitional-like epithelium, of a kind to our knowledge not reported previously. All of the cysts were found by palpation and they constituted 6% of the testicular tumours examined over the same period. High-resolution ultrasound examination can distinguish them from solid testicular masses, as in 2 cases here, thus enabling unnecessary operations to be avoided.

“…6,9 It has also been described in the ovary, broad ligament, vulva, 2,4 fallopian tube mucosa, 10 and even the male genital tract. 11,12 In all of these sites, TCM morphologically resembles urothelium. The curious locations of TCM would suggest that female genital tract epithelium/mesothelium has an ability to differentiate along transitional (urothelial) cell lines.…”

Transitional cell metaplasia of the cervix: A newly described entity in cervicovaginal smears

Transitional cell metaplasia (TCM) of the cervix is rarely reported in the pathology literature. To our knowledge, no case reports describing TCM in cervicovaginal smears exist. We report the cytologic features of TCM and compare them with squamous‐cell carcinoma in situ (CIS), tubal metaplasia (TM), and atrophy. One hundred twenty‐seven cervicovaginal smears from 31 patients with histologically proven cervical TCM were reviewed; seven smears (five patients) showed TCM. Five smears each of CIS, TM, and atrophy were evaluated as to architecture, nuclear features, nuclear to cytoplasmic ratios, and cytoplasmic haloes for comparison to TCM. The features that characterize TCM and allow its distinction from CIS, TM, and atrophy include cohesive groups of streaming spindled nuclei with haloes, grooves, tapered ends, and wrinkled contours.
