Her work addresses critical gaps in the management of these uncommon malignancies, particularly in challenging clinical scenarios. In a highly cited 2022 case report, Dr. Wilhite explored the complexities of diagnosing and treating uterine PEComa during pregnancy, highlighting the prognostic and therapeutic dilemmas faced by patients and clinicians. Her 2019 case report demonstrated the feasibility and success of robotic surgery for primary resection of a vaginal leiomyosarcoma, expanding the role of minimally invasive techniques in complex pelvic oncology. Each of these contributions has garnered 4 citations, reflecting their value to specialists in gynecologic oncology and surgical innovation. Dr. Wilhite’s research is distinguished by its focus on rare tumors where evidence is sparse, and her work provides essential guidance for managing these difficult cases. Her achievements underscore a commitment to advancing surgical approaches and improving outcomes for patients with rare gynecologic cancers.
