Broad ligament is a very uncommon site for presentation of leiomyoma with a very low incidence rate. Because of its overall low incidence rate, it poses both clinical and radiological difficulty in differentiating with an ovarian tumour. We are presenting a rare case of a 37 year old multiparous female with a huge broad ligament fibroid.

Xanthogranuloma is a non-neoplastic presentation of chronic inflammation commonly seen in gallbladder, kidney and rarely seen in genital organs. Only one case has been reported in cervix. Here, we report a case of 60-year-old postmenopausal lady who presented with history of fever and purulent discharge per-vaginum. On speculum examination, cervix had an ulcer extending from 3 to 5 o'clock position. Uterus was bulky. On probing the ulcer, a 1-cm deep sinus was identified. Ultrasound showed enlarged uterus and fluid collection suggestive of pyometra. Pyometra was drained and cervical biopsy was taken from the ulcerated lesion; histopathology revealed granulomatous inflammation with predominantly xanthous cells suggestive of tuberculosis. High index of clinical suspicion needs to be maintained in abnormal cervix. It is a perplexing and rare entity for a clinician and also a diagnosis of exclusion; only histopathology can help for diagnosis. It mimics like malignancy and chronic infections.

Hemoperitoneum resulting from various gynecological emergencies can be life threatening and ruptured corpus luteal cyst is one of the causes. Here we are reporting a case of 25yrs women with history acute pain abdomen on 19th day of her mentstrual cycle. Ultrasound showed collection in pelvic cavity mainly around right adnexa. After few hours of observation she was taken for laparotomy because of tense and tender abdomen. Intraoperative there was hemoperitoneum of around 500 cc with ruptured corpus luteal cyst of right ovary. Ruptured corpus luteum cyst should be kept in differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in women of reproductive age group especially in secretory phase. Timely diagnosis and management can save patient life.
