Bilateral Salpingectomy

We present a complicated case of recurrence of gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTN), mixed ETT and choriocarcinoma at an abdominal cesarean scar. This tumor consisted of typical morphologic and immunophenotypic features of ETT and choriocarcinoma. The tumor recurred despite the patient undergoing chemotherapy. The patient had this abdominal mass resected three times. The elements of ETT and coexisting choriocarcinoma varied each time. Due to re-recurrence of the tumor, the following decisions had been made: total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, right-sided inguinal lymph node biopsy. At the time of this report, recurrence was negative.

Abstract Adenomyoma is a benign tumor composed of smooth muscle and benign endometrium. These tumors typically originate within the uterus. An extrauterine adenomyoma is a rare entity. We report a uterine-like mass consistent with an extrauterine adenomyoma presenting 22 years following a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The mass was pear-shaped with uterine-type smooth muscle and a cavity lined by functional endometrial glands and stroma. To our knowledge, only 4 other cases of an extrauterine uterine-like mass are reported in the literature. Three involved the ovary, while one was located adjacent to the broad ligament with normal pelvic organs. Although none of these other uterus-like masses were described as adenomyomas with uterine-like features, the histologic findings are strikingly similar. An understanding of the müllerian system suggests that either an embryologic malformation or a differential multipotentiality existing in the subcoelomic tissues in response to hormonal stimulation results in a supernumerary müllerian structure like a uterus, as observed in this case. The presence of endometrial glands and stroma in the mass confirms that the tissues in this mass are hormonally responsive. It is most likely that this uterine-like mass arose from the tissues of the secondary müllerian system in response to estrogenic stimulation.

This article offers a review of the literature on current surgical management of the axilla in breast cancer. This includes the decision-making process involved in clinically node-negative patients versus clinically node-positive patients, with discussion of the indications for sentinel lymph node biopsy versus axillary dissection. It also examines the surgical axillary management of patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This article will help update practicing surgeons on the evolving research and guidelines for the management of breast cancer axillary disease.

A 40-year-old woman with mucoepidermoid variant of adenosquamous carcinoma arising in dermoid cyst in left ovary is presented. The patient was staged as IC. Total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and pelvic and para-aortic lymph node sampling were carried out. The disease recurred in postoperative 12th month. To our best knowledge, this is 12th case of adenosquamous carcinoma in dermoid cyst and third case of mucoepidermoid variant of adenosquamous carcinoma in the literature.

Myoma Uteri

Objectives: To determine the most common age and parity for the development of myoma uteri. To find out any relation between age of the last child and the development of myoma uteri. To determine the treatment protocal and outcome of treatment. Materials/methods: This study was carried out at Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital from Jan 2001 to 31st June 2006. All cases of myoma uteri admitted in Gynaecological ward was included.. Histological evidence of myoma confirmed the diagnosis. Age, parity and age of the last child, clinical features, surgical procedures and outcome of surgery were considered. Results: A total of 137 cases of myoma uteri was operated during five and half years period. This represented 38.5 %of all abdominal hysterectomy performed during the same period. The mean age was 43.3 years with median parity at 1-3 and the mean age of last child at 12years. Excessive menstrual bleeding 73.0%, abdominal mass and pain 58.4%, dysmenorrhea 18.2% and infertility 7.3% were the common symptoms. Total abdominal hysterectomy was the mainstay of treatment. Patients were happy with the treatment specially those with severe and multiple symptoms Postoperative complications were not significant. There was one death due to pulmonary embolism who had mesothelioma of pleura diagnosed by pleural biopsy before operation. Conclusion: Early marriage and early completion of the family is the social trend in Nepalese society. Myoma is common in 4th-5th decade of life in multi parity with the age of last child around 12years. This long standing secondary infertility may be an underlying risk factor in the development of myoma uteri.   doi:10.3126/njog.v1i2.2397 N. J. Obstet.
