Haemangiomas of the ovary are very rare neoplasms with a wide age range and present with pain lower abdomen and adenexal mass. Many a times this is an incidental finding on surgery. These neoplasms should be considered in the differential diagnosis of haemorragic ovarian lesion. A 48 yr old female presented to us with pain lower abdomen and adenexal mass. Her routine investigations were normal. Her tumour markers were S. LDH 213, CEA 1.72, CA 125 was 2.3. Ultrasound findings showed a well defined echogenic mass in left ovary measuring 6 x 3.4 cm with no ascitis. Her cervical cytological findings were with in normal limits. Staging laprotomy was done and a bilobed solid ovarian mass was identified on left side. TAH with BSO was done and specimen saved for histopathology that finally showed cavernous haemangioma of ovary. Post op recovery was uneventful with subsequent relief of pain.

A 52-year-old postmenopausal female of Filipino heritage presented with a three-day history of increasing abdominal bloating, vomiting, and fever. A CT scan revealed a 22 cm ovarian mass and ascites. Her laboratory results were unremarkable except for CA-125 and CA-19.9 which were slightly elevated. Due to suspicion of ovarian neoplasm, she underwent a laparotomy where multiple inflammatory deposits were observed throughout the pelvis. Histology confirmed florid granulomatous inflammation with caseous necrosis, and peritoneal fluid culture was positive for tuberculosis. She was treated with standard antimycobacterial therapy and made an uneventful recovery.

Objective Nasalance scores have been shown to depend on the regional dialect of English spoken. Australian cleft palate clinics are increasingly making use of the Nasometer as part of their evaluation of velopharyngeal inadequacy. There are, however, no normative data for Australian English available as reference information. The objective of this study, therefore, was to obtain comprehensive nasalance data for a large group of Australian children, aged 4 to 9 years, for two standard nasalance passages (Zoo Passage and Nasal Sentences) and to investigate any gender or age differences within that age range. Participants The participants were 245 children (123 female, 122 male) ranging in age from 4 years, 0 months, to 9 years, 3 months. The children were recruited from a variety of schools and preschools across the Sydney metropolitan region. The children all spoke Australian English, and their hearing, articulation skills, and speech resonance were within normal limits. Method Mean nasalance scores were obtained for two speech passages that are used as standards for Nasometer testing (Zoo Passage and Nasal Sentences). In addition, the nasalance data were analyzed for any gender and age dependence, using separate analyses of variance for each speech passage. Five consecutive age groups were used to examine age dependence (4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-year-old children). Results A mean score of 13.1 (SD, 5.9) was obtained for the Zoo Passage, and a mean of 59.6 (SD, 8.1) for the Nasal Sentences. The analysis of variance results indicated that, at a probability level of p < 0.01, there was no statistically significant age or gender dependence for either speech passage. Conclusion These normative nasalance data for children who speak Australian English will provide important reference information for clinicians who assess nasality disorders in cleft palate clinics in Australia.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common pediatric soft tissue sarcoma. However, rhabdomyosarcoma in the ovary is exceptionally unusual and presents a diagnostic challenge. We report one such case and its clinical and pathological perspective. Methods/Case Report 16-year-old female presented with an enlarging pelvic mass, abdominal distension, and pain. Imaging revealed a heterogeneous left ovarian mass, right axillary lymphadenopathy, and right-hand soft tissue mass. CA-125 was 1833.0 U/ml. Patient underwent left salphingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, peritoneal and mesenteric biopsy for ovarian staging, incidental appendectomy, and right axillary lymph node excision with suspicion of ovarian epithelial tumor. Pathological evaluation revealed a 16-cm intact ovary with multiple solid and cystic nodules with areas of hemorrhage and necrosis. Microscopic examination of ovarian tumor showed a high-grade malignant tumor consisting of sheets of small round blue cells with severe cytologic atypia, increased mitoses, and features suggestive of rhabdoid morphology. The other specimens were positive for metastases. The tumor cells were immunopositive for Myogenin and MyoD1 while immunonegative for Cytokeratin AE1/AE3, SF-1, PLAP, SALL4, MelanA, and S-100. INI-1 and BRG-1 demonstrated intact nuclear expression. FISH testing identified rearrangement of the FOX01 gene at 13q14. Based on these findings, diagnosis of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma was rendered. Currently, the patient is receiving rhabdomyosarcoma chemotherapy treatment and has responded well. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) NA Conclusion In cases with complex and urgent clinical presentation, where the existence of a primary tumor is unknown and where symptoms attributable to primary ovarian tumor dominate the clinical picture, rhabdomyosarcoma is rarely proposed in the differential diagnoses of small round blue cell tumors of the ovary. At present, the right-hand mass is under evaluation; thus, the true nature of the ovarian mass, primary or metastatic is unknown. Our case illustrates the importance of exact diagnoses, as treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma, is different from other ovarian tumors.

Fibroids are benign smooth muscle tumors. Large fibroids are known to arise from the uterus, but occasionally from the broad ligament.  Here, we report a case of true broad ligament fibroid which is rare and difficult to diagnose in a 57 year old postmenopausal women with a large mass of 24 weeks size gravid uterus. Patient presented with pain lower abdomen and mass in abdomen with no other co-morbidity. This broad ligament fibroid was mimicking as ovarian tumor on ultrasonography and MRI as left ovary was not visualised separately, thus leading to diagnostic dilemma of ovarian malignancy. Mass resection with total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy was performed. No local or distant metastasis observed, and Histopathology showed true broad ligament fibroid of left side weighing 3.57 kilograms.

Background: Pre-operative knowledge regarding the nature of ovarian mass is necessary in order to plan surgery. Risk malignancy index (RMI) is a simple scoring system based on three factors serum CA 125, USG score and menopausal status. The RMI was interpreted as 1) score >250=high risk, 2) 25-250=intermediate risk, 3) score <25=low risk. The objective of the study was to evaluate risk malignancy index (RMI) in pre-operatively clinically diagnosed ovarian mass and to compare the validity of individual parameter in RMI i.e. menopausal status, serum CA 125 and USG score to differentiate the nature of clinically diagnosed ovarian masses as benign or malignant.Methods: This was an observational study conducted in the Department of obstetrics and gynaecology, Trichy SRM Medical College and Research Centre, Trichy from January 2017 to January 2018 with a sample size of 77 cases with clinical diagnosis of ovarian mass admitted for surgery. The validity of RMI and validity of individual parameters were calculated and compared.Results: A total of 77 patients with ovarian tumors were enrolled in this study. According to the histological examination of the surgical specimens of the 77 women, 27.3% (n=21) had malignant tumors and 67.7% (n=56) had benign disease. Most common benign tumour was serous cystadenoma and the most common malignant tumour was mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. Among 77 patients, 42.85% (n=33) were postmenopausal, 44.15% (n=34) had USG score of 4, 27.27% (n=21) had serum CA125 level >cut-off values and 27.27% (n=21) had RMI >250. In cases where RMI>250, 18 out of 21 were malignant. In cases where USG score was 4, 19 out of 34 were malignant. Of the cases where serum CA125 level was > cut-off values 16 out of 21 were found to be malignant. RMI showed better sensitivity of 85.71%, specificity of 94.64%, PPV of 85.71%, NPV of 94.64% and diagnostic accuracy of 92.20%.Conclusions: RMI is highly valuable and reliable in differentiating benign and malignant ovarian lesions and facilitates selection of cases for conservative management and oncology referral.

Taste Thresholds

Electrical taste thresholds from the right and left anterior parts of the tongue were obtained from 249 normal subjects. Absolute differences between right and left became more variable as the threshold level increased, whereas the variability of relative differences remained more or less constant. The relative difference between right and left electrical taste thresholds was therefore chosen as the measurement of choice for clinical use. It was also found that smoking significantly increased electrogustometry (EGM) test variability, more so in men than in women. Therefore, separate EGM normal limits were defined as follows: nonsmokers, 18%; female smokers, 24%; male smokers, 37%. If the side of the lesion can be predicted, normal limits may be reduced to 15%, 20%, and 32%, respectively. An incidental finding of this study was a correlation between sudden deafness and other “idiopathic,” possibly retrocochlear, lesions and chorda tympani nerve deficits.

This paper describes a previously sufficiently functioning 57 year old man who presented with a recent onset of frontal behaviour. Partial agenesis of corpus callosum was an incidental finding on a computerized tomography scan. The EEG was within normal limits and neuropsychological testing did not reveal any interhemispheric disconnection. A SPECT-Scan revealed bilateral hypoperfusion, consistent with Alzheimer's dementia. Normal functioning up to 50 years of age and a later manifestation of Alzheimer's disease along with agenesis of carpus callosum is of clinical interest as such an association has not been published.
