Lipomatous variant of angiomyofibroblastoma is a rare tumor of the vulva. Most of cases are usually premenopausal and present with a slowly growing mass without pain. A 46-year-old woman presented with a swelling of the left labium major. The lesion was thought to be a Batholin's gland cyst or a lipoma preoperatively and a local excision was performed. The tumor was well demarcated and rubbery. On microscopic examination, the alternating hypercellular and edematous hypocellular component with abundant vessels was noted. A large amount of adipose tissue was scattered in the lesion. Stromal cells were positive for vimentin, estrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor and negative for desmin antibody immunostaining. The local excision was enough for complete treatment. No recurrence was noted for 7 months after surgery.
Case ReportA 46-year-old woman, gravida 1 para 1, presented with a 2-year history of a swelling of the left vulva.The lesion had slowly increased in size. On gross examination the mass was easily movable, not adhered to adjacent tissue, and the size was 4×3×2 cm (Fig. 1A). On computed tomography (CT), highly enhanced mass was noted on the left vulva (Fig. 1B). On ultrasonogram, 4.2 cm sized subserosal myoma of the uterus and 2.2 cm sized right ovary cyst were noted. An
A 29-year-old pregnant woman with parity 0-0-0-0 was diagnosed with monoamniotic twin pregnancy discordant for anencephaly at 14 weeks gestation. Umbilical cord entanglement, which is an important cause of fetal death in monoamniotic twins, was confirmed by three-dimensional ultrasound. Cesarean section was performed at 34 weeks of gestation, and the normal newborn infant was discharged without any complications. We report a case of monoamniotic twin pregnancy discordant for anencephaly and diagnosed with cord entanglement by three-dimensional ultrasound at 14 weeks of gestation, and now report it along with a literature review.
Type A intestinal neuronal dysplasia is a congenital abnormality that is a very rare disease. Here, we report on a patient who had intestinal dilatation with serial changes and polydactyly, as shown on prenatal ultrasound. Bowel obstruction symptoms were shown at 16 days of life. An open abdominal surgery was performed. Malrotation of the bowel and narrowing of the area from 15 cm above the ileocecal valve were noted. Therefore, a right hemicolectomy, including lesions was performed. The patient was diagnosed with type A intestinal neuronal dysplasia by pathology.
Conjoined twins are very rare and the mortality rate of the fetus is extremely high. Early prenatal diagnosis is crucial, as it provides the opportunity for the mother and father to help in recognizing the conjunction of the twins and to help medical team in defining the prognosis of conjoined twins. We present a case of thoraco-omphalopagus conjoined twins diagnosed by two-dimensional and threedimensional transabdominal sonography at 14 +2 weeks of gestation. We present a case of dicephalic thoraco-omphalopagus twins diagnosed in the early second trimester with transabdominal 2D sonography and 3D sonography.
Chronic pelvic pain, defi ned as a non-cyclic pain of at least 6 months duration, is severe enough to require medical care or to cause disability. For such reason, only physical approaches and managements of chronic pelvic pain sometimes fail. Depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can cause chronic pelvic pain and affects the course of pain management. This case is about chronic pelvic pain of 39-years-old unmarried woman with adenomyosis. She wanted to control her pelvic pain with medical treatments of adenomyosis, but finally decided to scarify uterus due to uncontrolled pain. Pshychosomatic symptoms were considered to cause the pain because her pain did not disappear even after hysterectomy. She was diagnosed with PTSD and depression. This case suggests that chronic pelvic pain patients always need psychological evaluation even if they have defi nite causes of pelvic pain in gynecological area.
