We report a combined intra-uterine and unruptured tubal pregnancy following ovulation induction by clomiphene citrate (CC) and timed intercourse. The diagnosis of heterotopic pregnancy (HP) is the major problem until occurrence of tubal rupture. Because HP is a life-threatening condition, the diagnosis should be made as soon as possible. In a spontaneous conception, HP is a rare event. The risk of HP significantly increases after ovulation induction. Clomiphene itself could be associated with a high HP rate. We present a case with normally developing intra-uterine singleton pregnancy successfully managed by salpingectomy of synchronous tubal pregnancy following ovulation induction by CC and a review of the literature.
Gonadal sex cord stromal tumors contain some of the most morphologically interesting neoplasms of the gonads, and these lead to many important issues in differential diagnosis. Granulosa cell tumors are much more common in females. Unclassified sex cord stromal tumor is rare. We report a case of a 22-year-old woman with acute ruptured unclassified sex cord stromal tumor of the right ovary during pregnancy. The biological behavior of unclassified sex cord stromal tumors resembles that of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors of intermediate differentiation rather than poorly differentiated tumors, which may have been expected in view of the lack of specific differentiation. This finding is important with regard to postoperative management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
