Chorioangioma is a benign angioma of placenta arising from chorionic tissue. Large chorioangioma has unfavourable effects on both mother and fetus. We describe a case with large chorioangioma that had a poor outcome on the fetus. We also reviewed the literature on prognostic factors affecting fetal outcome.
Umbilical endometriosis is rare and challenging in both diagnosis and treatment. We report a case of an umbilical scar endometriotic nodule in a 39-year-old lady following laparoscopy-assisted vaginal hysterectomy. The wide local excision of the nodule and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. We discuss the pathogenesis, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment options for the patient.
Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma is a rare benign tumor.
We present an unusual case of a fetal abdominal cyst, later
diagnosed histopathologically to be mesenchymal hamartoma of
liver. The organ of origin was indeterminate on both prenatal and
postnatal ultrasounds. As there are no specific sonological
findings, whenever a large multicystic fetal abdominal cyst is
seen, mesenchymal hamartoma should be considered as a possibility.
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.
