Background: Deep Aggressive Angiomyxoma (DAA) is a rare benign tumor with about 250 cases reported worldwide. It was first reported in 1983. This tumor is commonly found in women of reproductive age, with the highest incidence in the 3rd and 4th decades of life. DAA is most often found in the pelvic, genital, inguinal region, or perineum. Case Report: Nulligravida woman 52 years old, with enlargement of the vulva that had felt since ± 20 years ago. A mass was found on local examination of the right vulva with a size of ±50x40x10cm, which was supple, mobile, and with no pain. Enlarged inguinal lymphadenopathy was also observed. MRI showed a well-defined lesion at the right vulvar region (which visualized the size of ± AP 14.95 x LL 31.80 x CC 15. 3 cm) with the signal intensity hypointense on T1WI, hyperintense on T2WI and FatSat, restricted on DWI, with no enhancement was seen. A wide excision was conducted, and post-excision measurements showed a right vulvar mass size was 50x42x10cm, with 14.8kg in weight. Conclusion: DAA is a rare benign tumor that can disturb patients. The nature of the tumor should be evaluated carefully using radiological and pathological approaches. A wide excision can remove the tumor completely, but control and follow-up are mandatory to evaluate the completeness of the procedure and monitor for any relapse.
Background: Thyroid malignancy is one of the most common malignancies in women of reproductive age. One of the normal physiological change in pregnancy is an increase in total maternal thyroid levels. According to 2015 DATIN information, the prevalence of hypothyroidism in women of reproductive age was 2.2%. Method of delivery in patients with thyroid disorders are mostly by cesarean section due to complications of the mother and/or fetus. Fetal outcome usually associated with low birth weight and poor APGAR Score.Objective : Reporting a case of pregnancy with hypothyroidism secondary to thyroid carcinoma treatmentCase: A 37-year-old woman Gravida 3 Parity 2 Abortion 0 with 18 weeks pregnancy after thyroid ablation treatment with a history of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma – Follicular Variant, following a complete thyroidectomy in August 2016. The patient was given 6-dose ablation therapy, the last therapy was performed in April 2019. On clinical examination, the patient have no sign and symptoms suggesting hypothyroidism. On laboratory examination, the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level was increased. Levothyroxine dosage was adjusted until the patient in euthyroid status in the early 3rd trimester of pregnancy until the delivery period. The fetal examination suggests that the Bio-Physical Profile was normal according to gestational age. The patient underwent vaginal delivery following 38 weeks of gestation with good maternal outcomes and low birth weight neonatal outcomes, no thyroid nodules, and slightly increased thyroid function.Conclusion : Management of counselling about preconception, contraception, and initial screening of patients with a history of thyroid carcinoma are the initial steps to help a better outcome in pregnancies with thyroid disorders.
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.
