BackgroundCutaneous metastases from internal malignancies are uncommon. Moreover, endometrial carcinoma rarely metastasizes to the skin, with a reported prevalence of 0.8%. Here, we report the case of a 62-year-old woman who developed cutaneous metastases from an endometrial carcinoma.Case presentationWhen admitted to our department, the patient underwent a biopsy that showed the presence of cutaneous metastasis in relation to her initial endometrial cancer, diagnosed 3 years earlier. Thereafter, she was treated with a bilateral uterine artery embolization and chemotherapy. The patient had complications and survived 5 months after the diagnosis of the cutaneous metastasis. She died from sepsis.ConclusionCutaneous metastases of the endometrial carcinoma are usually incurable and suggest an unfortunate prognosis where palliation is the mainstay of patient management.

Patient: Female, 30Final Diagnosis: Umbilical artery thrombosisSymptoms: NoneMedication: —Clinical Procedure: CasareanSpecialty: Obstetrics and GynecologyObjective:Unknown ethiologyBackground:Umbilical artery thrombosis is an extremely rare complication during pregnancy. Umbilical artery thrombosis has a poor prognosis and is associated with increased rates of perinatal morbidity, including intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and fetal mortality.Case Report:We report a rare case of umbilical artery thrombosis, diagnosed by ultrasound, at 33 weeks gestation in a 30-year-old woman who had previously had an uneventful pregnancy.Conclusions:Umbilical artery thrombosis is a rare complication of pregnancy that is associated with high fetal mortality. Management may include planned elective delivery by cesarean section, following antenatal corticosteroid therapy for fetal lung maturation.

The effectiveness, safety and feasibility of the mini-laparoscopic surgical technique was applied to sacrocolpopexy. Because of the initial favourable experience, the mini-laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy could become more widely used in the future.
