Fibroids are the most common benign lesions of the uterus and genital tract and rarely can be extrauterine in origin. The broad ligament fibroids, even though having a low incidence, are the most common extrauterine firoids. This is a case of 36 years old nulliparous woman treated for invasive carcinoma of breast with infertility, with broad ligament fibroid presenting with abdominal pain, reported for its rarity and operative experience.
Placenta accreta spectrum encompasses a range of pathological adherence of placenta and causes significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. With the increase in the number of cesarean deliveries over the last few decades, there has been an 8 fold increase in the incidence of placenta accreta. The single most important risk factor reported in about half the cases of PAS disorders is placenta previa. Management involves a standardized approach with a comprehensive multidisciplinary care team accustomed to management of placenta accreta. We discuss a rare case of a patient who underwent hysterotomy in an outside hospital and was referred to our tertiary care centre as atonic PPH. Undiagnosed antenatally and at the time of hysterotomy, she was diagnosed as a case of placenta accreta on exploration at our institute and was surgically managed.
Genital prolapse is one of the most common disorder affecting women of varying age group; though it typically affects older and parous women. Malfunction of the pelvic support is the most common cause of this disorder. Increasing age and excess weight are established risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse.In young nulliparous women conservative surgery is preferred to preserve the fertility of the patient. The approach of surgery can be either vaginal or abdominal depending on the classification of prolapse. We reported a rare case of a 36-year-old P1L0 (IUFD1) A1 with cervical elongation who was apprehensive to have a child. She was managed at our institute and had a successful pregnancy outcome in spite of undergoing embolization for secondary haemorrhage following modified Manchester-Fothergill operation.
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.
