AbstractMüllerian adenosarcoma is a very rare gynecological disease, comprising 5% of uterine sarcomas. Extragenital localizations are even rarer. We report a very interesting case of a 27-year-old woman complaining of pelvic pain, with a subsequent diagnosis of extragenital Müllerian adenosarcoma. This is the first case reported in the literature with a complete and wide imaging description. Even if rare, Müllerian adenosarcoma should be hypothesized in case of young female patients presenting with suspicious pelvic mass.

Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is predominantly a non-aggressive benign tumour. Cases of more aggressive AMLs are present in the literature. We present 2 cases of aggressive AML behaviour. The first case is an AML with vascular extension in a young female and the second case is of AML found in regional lymph nodes in a female with a left renal AML and renal cell carcinoma.

A newborn presented with acute airway obstruction secondary to a compound odontoma of the hard palate/nasal floor. This is the first case recorded in the literature. We review the pathology of compound odontomas and discuss the management of this rare and interesting case.

Ovarian cysts are common causes of lower abdominal pain and abdominal distention in females. While most of them are benign and rarely grow immensely to achieve a huge size, they may be neoplastic in origin, reaching enormous dimensions with minimum or without raising any symptoms.Here, we present an interesting case of a 19-year-old female,who presented with huge abdominal swelling and pain in whole abdomen from whom a 9.1 kg borderline mucinous ovarian cyst, occupying the whole abdominal cavity was removed.

Background: Herlyn Werner Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a rare female urogenital tract abnormality, isolated by presenting a didelfous uterus, transverse vaginal septum and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Objective: A case report of a patient with Werner Herlyn Wunderlich syndrome. Case report: Female patient of 17 years of age, single, nubile, menarche at 14 years, infrequent menstrual cycles, normal volume, with dysmenorrhea EVA 7/10, attends to present disabling pelvic pain, ultrasound was found finding, hematocolpos and hematometra, is complemented with hysteroscopy, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a diagnosis of HWWS syndrome is integrated by confirming the presence of a didelfo uterus, obstructed right hemivagina and right renal agenesis, with distention of the vagina and cervix secondary to hematometra and hematocolpos, normal ovaries. The approach in this patient was by minimal invasion. Conclusion: Herlyn Werner Wunderlich syndrome is a rare mullerian defect, it is often diagnosed late, the diagnosis is usually made after menarche, associated with chronic pelvic pain or palpable pelvic mass; 2D ultrasound along with physical examination performs the suspected diagnosis; This should be complemented with RM. The treatment of choice is vaginal septum resection assisted by minimally invasive techniques.

Abstract We here discuss an interesting case of COVID-19 patient suffering from ruptured right supra-clinoid intracranial aneurysm with congenital absence of right ICA. COVID-19 has been responsible for over 175 million reported cases and over 3.8 million deaths world-wide. Severe cases of COVID-19 is characterized with cytokine outburst and hyperinflammation, platelet activation, endothelial dysfunction and sepsis related coagulopathy. This predisposes for thromboembolic events and aneurysm formation and rupture. Agenesis, aplasia and hypoplasia of internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare congenital anomaly. ICA agenesis is associated with increased incidence of intracranial aneurysm as compared with general population.

Abstract Background The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is a considerable public health problem, which has caused a burden on health systems in many countries. Despite the existence of multiple studies on the different digestive symptoms and their relationship with this disease, it is still vital to highlight the severity of the different symptoms, the need to diagnose it properly and quickly. Currently in Colombia there are no writings that highlight the above. Case presentation This article reports the case of a 37-year-old female patient, with no important history, who consulted for 10 h of a generalized intense abdominal pain, of sudden onset, associated with multiple stools of diarrheal consistency, and no respiratory symptoms and no epidemiological exposure. Physical examination with intense pain in the colic frame with tenderness. It was decided to rule out surgical pathology and a CT scan was performed finding no evidence of acute intra-abdominal pathology, but with a peripheral alveolar, and ground-glass opacities at lung bases, classic COVID-19 radiological pattern, confirmed by a positive RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2, leading to consider that the gastrointestinal symptoms were secondary to this infection. Symptomatic management was given with subsequent improvement. Conclusions It is extremely important to present this first case report of a young female COVID-19 patient with an acute abdominal pain as the main clinical manifestation, that almost culminates in a surgical procedure; demonstrating the scope of gastrointestinal symptoms secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract Background Safety of live vaccines in patients treated with immunosuppressive therapies is not well known, resulting in contradictory vaccination recommendations. We describe here the first case of vaccine-associated measles in a patient on natalizumab treatment. Case presentation A young female patient with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis on natalizumab treatment received the live attenuated measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine in preparation for a change in her treatment in favour of fingolimod, with established immunosuppressive qualities. Seven days after receiving the vaccine, our patient experienced diffuse muscle pain, fatigue, and thereafter developed a fever and then an erythematous maculopapular rash, compatible with vaccine associated measles. This was later confirmed by a positive measles RT-PCR throat swab. The patient’s symptoms resolved without any sequelae. Conclusion In this case report we review the immunosuppressive qualities of natalizumab and the evidence in favour and against live vaccines in patients on this treatment. Our findings reveal the insufficient understanding of the immunosuppressive effects of new immunomodulators, and thus of the safety of live vaccines in patients on such medications. While this case triggers precaution, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that natalizumab treatment could favor the onset of vaccine-associated measles.
