Carcinosarcomas of the pancreas are rare entities with a dismal prognosis. We report a rare case of pancreatic carcinosarcoma in a 49-year-old African American female who underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with right salpingo-oophorectomy and exploration of the pancreatic mass. The surgery revealed a sclerotic mass in the body and tail of the pancreas that was surgically unresectable, and a pancreatic biopsy confirmed the pathology of pancreatic carcinosarcoma. Histologically, the lesion showed a high-grade spindle cell sarcoma and adjacent moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. On immunohistochemical examination, the carcinomatous component was positive for epithelial markers, and the sarcomatous component was focally positive for SMA and desmin. In addition, the sarcomatous component showed diffuse immunoreactivity for CD10 with a surrounding myofibroblastic proliferation. Reports have associated expression of CD10 in pancreatic stellate cells with increased tumor aggressiveness. In this article, we report a case of pancreatic carcinosarcoma that shows sarcomatous CD10 immunoexpression with higher Ki67 labeling in the sarcoma than the carcinoma raising the question if the sarcomatous component could be potentiating the aggressiveness of the carcinomatous component.

Urogenital Fistula

Vesicouterine fistula is an uncommon urogenital fistula. The incidence is on the rise because of increasing incidence of Caesarean sections. Cyclical Haematuria or Menouria is an important clinical feature of this fistula which may or may not be associated with urinary incontinence depending on the location of the fistulous tract. We present a case report of Post caesarean section Vesicouterine fistula following 2 Caesarean sections. This was successfully managed by laparotomy with repair of fistulous tract in bladder wall and Total Abdominal Hysterectomy for multiple Fibroid uterus done. Menouria is a rare event in Gynecology and one should always keep this possibility in mind when there is cyclical haematuria. A 42 year old Bangladeshi woman was hospitalized with complaints of menorrhagia, lower abdominal pain for last 8 years, cyclical hematuria for last 20 years. She was mildly anemic, haemodynamically stable and regularly menstruating women. The primary Ultrasound scans suggested multiple fibroid with cystic ovary in left side. Cystoscopy was done and findings are a fistulous opening in the bladder measuring around 7mm in size. It was supratrigonal in position. The patient had no history of Endometriosis, Pelvic irradiation therapy, Inflammatory disease, Trauma or Malignancy. Initially there was dilemma in her diagnosis and the patient was diagnosed as a case of bladder Endometriosis besides fibroid uterus. So surgery was planned and Total Abdominal Hysterectomy & bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy done. There was a fistula about 3cm × 2cm in the lower part of the body of uterus connecting with the base of Bladder. Fistula repaired after dissection, patient follow up done and catheter removed after 14 days without any complications. Vesicouterine fistula can be prevented if care is taken to separate the bladder from the uterus during repeat Caesarean sections.

Leiomyoma uterus is the most common benign solid tumor in female. Most of it situated in the body of the uterus.  cervical myoma account 3%-8% of uterine myoma. Cervical myoma can frequently cause diagnostic dilemmas. Pedunculated cervical myoma can arise from the endocervical canal or from the uterine cavity and protrude through the cervix, may become necrotic, infected and gangrenous due to inadequate blood circulation through a long pedicle or if the pedicle of leiomyoma twists. This can cause menometrorrhagia, recurrent vaginal discharge leading to anemia and sepsis. A case of huge pedunculated cervical leiomyoma has been reported here. A 40 years old female, para 4, with menometrorrhagia, excessive vaginal discharge and severe anemia with haemoglobin 5gm% and challenging huge cervical pedunculated leiomyoma of size 13cm*9cm*9cm prolapsed outside introitus which is congested necrotic, infected causing uterine prolapse with bilateral hydroureter and hydronephrosis. Patient underwent bilateral internal iliac artery ligation and fibroid excision followed by total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy after tracing both ureters.  Post-operative period was uneventful. Histopathology was confirmatory of leiomyoma.

ABSTRACT Heterotopia is the occurrence of mature tissue at abnormal location. A very rare case of cartilaginous heterotopias in the broad ligament of a 47-year-old female is described. Literature contains very few references related to it. In this patient, there was no evidence of any malignancy in the abdomen or in any other part of the body, except cervical intraepithelial neoplasia changes in cervix. The peritoneal lesion was an incidental finding in this female who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy in view of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion of cervix on cervical biopsy. A firm to hard, white-colored, tubular, branched structure, embedded in left broad ligament reaching till serosa of left fallopian tube and undersurface of left ovary was present. Histopathology showed mature cartilage of hyaline type with well-formed chondrocytes and lacunae with surrounding fibrosis with no evidence of cytological atypia, reactive inflammatory changes, or foreign body reaction. This may represent metaplastic lesions of secondary Müllerian system or benign neoplastic lesions (chondroma) of submesothelium. How to cite this article Kaur K, Kaur A, Chopra N, Kaur A.

Background: Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle neoplasm that typically occurs from the myometrium. Most of the women with uterine leiomyoma remain asymptomatic. Various degeneration including hyaline, cystic, myxoid and red degeneration and dystrophic calcification occur in leiomyoma, among them myxoid degeneration occurs rarely. Here is a case report of 40 years with one living child and two abortions who came with complaints of feeling of heaviness and pain at lower abdomen for six months, palpable lower abdominal mass for four months and difficulty in passing urine since 15 days. Multiple fibroids with cystic degeneration were suspected in Computed Tomography scan report. The patient underwent Total Abdominal Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salphingectomy. On cut section there was a cystic area on the body of uterus containing 1. 1 liter of straw coloured fluid. Final histopathological findings concluded multiple leiomyoma with myxoid degeneration.

Background: The Female Genital Tract is a hormone-responsive system to a degree unmatched by any other system in the body. The gross configuration of the uterus changes dramatically throughout life. It is a kind of 'Puppet on a string", thus manipulated throughout life by altering levels of ovarian hormones. Objective of the study: The present study is aimed at detailed histopathological evaluation of uterine lesions of hysterectomy specimens. Methodology: A total of 448 cases of hysterectomy specimens were received in the department of pathology GGH Ananthapur, for two years, were reviewed. The specimens were processed, and the histopathological diagnosis was studied. Result: Peak age group of hysterectomy was 40-49 years with 186 (41.51%) cases. The youngest patient was 21 years old, and the oldest was 75 years old. The most frequent type of hysterectomy done was total abdominal hysterectomy in 293 (65.4%) cases. Conclusion: Hysterectomy is the most common surgery performed in gynecological practice. A wide range of lesions were noted when hysterectomy specimens are subjected to histopathological examination.

Subinvolution of placental sites (SPSs) is a rare but severe cause of secondary postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). SPS is characterised by the abnormal persistence of large, dilated, superficially modified spiral arteries in the absence of retained products of conception. It is an important cause of morbidity and mortality of young women. In this study, we present a case of secondary PPH in a young woman after uncomplicated caesarean delivery who was deemed clinically unstable, and finally, underwent emergent total abdominal hysterectomy. We reviewed the literature with an emphasis on the pathophysiology of this situation. Treatment of patients with SPS includes conservative medical therapy, hysterectomy and fertility-sparing percutaneous embolotherapy.

Although leiomyomas are the most common pelvic tumors presenting in the reproductive age group, cervical fibroids are rare accounting for 2% of all uterine fibroids. We report a case of 40 year old lady presenting with a firm, non-tender mass of 22-24 weeks size pregnant uterus with restricted mobility. Laparotomy showed a large mass arising from the anterior lip of cervix, with a small uterus pushed posteriorly. Enucleation followed by total abdominal hysterectomy was done. Large cervical fibroids are rare, presenting with surgical difficulties. Careful dissection by expert hands is needed in the management of such cases.
