Abstract Background Subacute uterine inversion is a very rare complication of mid-trimester termination of pregnancy that should be considered in a situation where unsafe abortion occurs. Case presentation We present a case of subacute uterine inversion complicated by hypovolemic shock following an unsafe abortion in a 17-year-old nulliparous unmarried girl. She presented with a history of collapse, mass protruding per vagina that followed Valsalva, and persistent lower abdominal pain but not vaginal bleeding. This followed her second attempt to secretly induce an abortion at 18 weeks amenorrhea. On examination, she was agitated, severely pale, cold on palpation, with an axillary temperature of 35.8 °C, a tachycardia of 143 beats per minute and unrecordable low blood pressure. The abdomen was soft and non-tender with no palpable masses; the uterine fundus was absent at its expected periumbilical position and cupping was felt instead. A fleshy mass with gangrenous patches protruding in the introitus was palpated with no cervical lip felt around it. We made a clinical diagnosis of subacute uterine inversion complicated with hypovolemic shock and initiated urgent resuscitation with crystalloid and blood transfusion. Non-operative reversal of the inversion failed. Surgery was done to correct the inversion followed by total abdominal hysterectomy due to uterine gangrene. Conclusion Our case highlights an unusual presentation of subacute uterine inversion following unsafe abortion. This case was managed successfully but resulted in significant and permanent morbidity.

Uterine inversion is a rare entity but poses a serious threat if not diagnosed and managed timely. Here we present a case of chronic uterine inversion in a 30-year-old lady who presented in emergency with a mass coming out per vagina, blood mixed vaginal discharge, and lower pain abdomen for the last 15 days. She underwent laparotomy and was found to have uterine inversion. The patient was attempted for repositioning of uterus with the Huntington’s approach, but it was unsuccessful, hence Haultain’s operation was done with a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy with right-sided ovarian cystectomy for a dermoid cyst. Our case emphasizes the importance of keeping chronic uterine inversion as a differential diagnosis in women presenting with pain abdomen, mass, and bleeding per vagina, and with a recent history of second-trimester abortion. Timely recognition, especially in chronic inversion, will decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with this rare but life-threatening condition.

Introduction: Uterine inversion is a condition in which the uterus turns inside out with prolapse of fundus through the cervix into or outside vagina. Chronic inversion cases are rare. We present a rare case of chronic uterine inversion associated with uterine fibroids. Case Report: A 42 year old female, P3 L3 , was admitted with complains of menorrhagia and pain 3 3 lower abdomen for 1 month. Speculum examination revealed a fleshy polyp filling whole of vagina. Upon per vaginal examination size of mass could not be assessed and cervical lips could not be felt. So, a provisional diagnosis of fibroid polyp was made. Per-operatively inversion of tube and ovaries along with a sessile submucosal fundal fibroid polyp of size 10 x 8 cm was found. A revised diagnosis of chronic uterine inversion with sessile fibroid polyp was made. Patient then underwent Total Abdominal Hysterectomy with bilateral Salpingooophrectomy. Conclusion: Chronic inversion should be kept as a differential diagnosis in a patient with history of irregular bleeding associated with dragging pain of lower abdomen and feeling of a mass coming out of introitus. Pre operatively it should be differentiated from fibroid polyp, uterine prolapse and prolapsed hypertrophied ulcerated cervix.

ABSTRACT Uterine inversion in old age is a rare complication. Submucosal fibroid or polyp is mostly the cause of nonpuerperal inversion. Diagnosis can be made on physical examination but it may be difficult. Management consists of manual reposition of uterus or surgery either through abdominal or vaginal route. We report a case of nonpuerperal uterine inversion in an unmarried nulliparous postmenopausal Baloch woman having lemon size submucosal fibroid and presented with complete prolapsed inversion. Diagnosis was made clinically and confirmed at laparotomy. At laparotomy inversion was corrected first then total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingooophorectomy was carried out.

Mullerian neoplasms of the urinary system are rare but complex tumor-like lesions. The identification of the Mullerian neoplasm is crucial for patient management owing to its etiology, natural history, and prognosis. We present a case of a 42-year-old female with a history of three lower segment cesarean sections presenting with complaints of dysmenorrhea and suprapubic pain with no history of hematuria or any urinary symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 2 cm×2 cm exophytic lesion suspicious of being either a bladder lesion or an endometrial lesion infiltrating the urinary bladder. Cystoscopy and transurethral biopsy of this suspicious bladder tumor revealed a malignant tumor with papillary and tubulocystic architecture. Based on the overall histomorphological and immunohistochemical features, a diagnosis of clear cell carcinoma of Mullerian origin was made, and the patient underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and partial cystectomy. The patient was kept on regular surveillance and showed no signs of recurrence at the one-year follow-up. Clear cell carcinoma of the bladder of Mullerian origin is a rare entity and is established on histopathology. Prompt diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are indispensable for management. Level of evidence: Level 4.

Introduction: Cupping therapy has been widely performed in oriental countries and considered a safety alternative to relieve pain. Here, we report a rare complication from abdominal cupping. Case presentation: A 49-year-old man presented with a 2-day history of left upper quadrant abdominal pain after cupping therapy 3 days earlier. His abdomen was soft but appeared a localized rebounding tenderness. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen showed intraperitoneal hemorrhage originated from the left upper quadrant of the omentum. Discussion: Several mechanisms are proposed for the development of intraperitoneal hemorrhage after cupping therapy, including the tensile stress generated by cupping that facilitates the disruption of omentum vessels, strong negative pressure generated by cupping that suppresses blood supply to the cup-applied sites causing adjacent tissue ischemia, and subsequent vascular extravasation. Treatment for intraperitoneal hemorrhage depends on clinical conditions. Stable patients can be managed conservatively, whereas surgery is reserved for those with continuous bleeding and hypovolemic shock. Conclusion: Cupping therapy complicated with omentum bleeding can present insidiously until peritoneal irritation developed by intraperitoneal hemorrhage. A comprehensive history taking and a high degree of vigilance are crucial to diagnose early patients with this rare complication.

Pyomyoma, or suppurative leiomyoma, is a rare but serious complication of uterine fibroids. The mechanism of pyomyoma is an infection caused by microorganisms coming from ascending or hematogenously on the ground of necrosis following ischemia and infarction. It can be seen during the course of pregnancy or after abortion and birth. It can also develop after uterine instrumentation or due to cervical stenosis. Patients often present with pain and fever. It should be considered in cases had no other etiology of fever and had a history of uterine fibroids. Diagnosis and treatment are often delayed due to non-specific presentation and imaging findings. This delay increases the risk of mortality and morbidity such as fertility loss. In the vast majority of these cases, total abdominal hysterectomy is required. The case we presented is a premenopausal and sexually inactive woman without any history of pregnancy or uterine instrumentation or immunocompromised. This patient is the 5th case of pyomyoma without risk factor and the 3rd case that was successfully treated with myomectomy. Knowing the proper treatment of pyomyoma will be beneficial to prevent potential mortality and morbidity.

How the largest of the large (> 10 x 8 cms) sub mucous myoma arising from the fundus uteri successively promotes the occurrence of non puerperal uterine inversion over the years as depicted through 3 different illustrations imitating a gradual process; first by forming an indentation in the uterine fundus then progressively causing more dimpling in the verge of uterine inversion until finally giving rise to a full blown picture of complete uterine inversion where the uterine fundus is driven beyond the level of introitus with the consequences of prolapsed incarcerated myoma in a post menopausal woman. A total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoophorectomy were performed on all of these 3 women 2 perimenopausal and a postmenopausal; the latter was first facilitated by vaginal myomectomy further supplemented by division of the inversion ring posteriorly as described by Haultain. Key words: Non puerperal uterine inversion, submucous fundal myoma, vaginal myomectomy. doi:10.3126/njog.v1i2.2398 N. J. Obstet. Gynaecol Vol. 1, No. 2, p. 51-54 Nov-Dec 2006

Objectives: (1) To evaluate the risk of malignancy in surgically removed ovarian cysts that was before the operation neither simple nor complex. (2) To determine the relationship of age with type of ovarian tumour. (3) To categorize the management of these cases according to the intra-operative findings. (4) To analyze the occurrence of various histopathological types of tumour. Date Source: Medline Study Design: Single centered prospective descriptive study of 150 cases. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Shaikh Zayed Hospital Lahore from 1st July 2005 to,31st December 2006. Subject and method: 150 patients presented with adnexal cysts on preoperative ultrasonography, peroperative findings and histopathology reports. These patients were followed up in OPD. Results: Showed the distribution of non-neoplastic and neoplastic tumours which were 84% and 16% respectively. The occurrence of malignancy increased with advancing age especially after 45 years Common presentations were lower abdominal pain (53%) followed by menstrual disturbances (30%), abdominopelvic mass, abdominal distension and infertility. Risk of malignancy also increased with parity. 73% masses were unilateral, 84% benign masses were unilocular whilst 85% malignant masses were echogenic and the complex cysts with papillary projection and multiloculations showed 3-6 times higher risk of malignancy. Most patients were managed by exploratory laparotomy. Cystectomy and total abdominal hysterectomy were the commonest procedures performed. Regarding histopathologic evaluation 40% patients had tumours, 2.66% borderline malignancy and 13.3% malignant. 44% had non-neoplastic lesions. Serous and endometriotic cysts were the commonest benign histopathologic types and among malignant ones, epithelial ovarian tumours were the leading variants. Conclusions: Preoperative characterization of adnexal masses using sonographic and demographic data may have considerable potential in determining risk of malignancy and may be advantageous in terms of counseling patients for management.

Background: Vesico-Vaginal Fistula (VVF) is a major cause for concern in many developing countries with significant morbidity. Among the different techniques abdominal approach of VVF repair is important one. Objective: To find out the outcome of VVF repair by abdominal approach. Materials and Methods: It is a prospective study. Twenty-three patients with VVF were operated with abdominal approach from the period of January 2016 to January 2019. Age of patients, co-morbidities, cause, size and location of VVF were evaluated. Then abdominal approach of VVF repair was done. Operative time and need of blood transfusion were encountered. Post operative (POD) urine leakage, wound infection or other complications were enlisted. Patients were discharged with keeping urethral catheter for 14 days. Follow up was done after 1 and 3 month and in each follow up history and physical examination was done. All collected data were evaluated. Results: Mean age of the patient was 40 years. Among the 23 patients 12 (52%) patients had history of total abdominal hysterectomy, 9 had history of caesarian section and 2 cases had history of pelvic surgery. VVF repair was done at least 12 weeks after its occurrence. Operative time ranged from 90 minutes to 150 minutes. In the immediate POD no obvious complications were noted except one patient developed wound infection on 7th POD. Follow-up done as per schedule and no recurrence of VVF noted. Conclusion: VVF repair through abdominal approach is a feasible, safe and effective technique if performed meticulously. KYAMC Journal Vol. 11, No.-3, October 2020, Page 129-132

Mullerian adenosarcoma of the endometrium in adolescent girls is extremely rare, with only fifteen cases under 20 years old having been reported to date. We describe here a new case of adolescent Mullerian adenosarcoma and provide an updated review of the previous literature on such rare tumors. Our 19-year-old case presented with a six-month history of prolonged menstruation. She had not yet had any sexual relationship. On gross examination, a fragile mass was seen in her vagina that bled easily. A 4.0×2.0 cm mass was visualized with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The tumor seemed to slightly invade the myometrium of the uterine corpus. Transvaginal ultrasound sonography confirmed the presence of a 4.0 cm mass located in the cervix and vagina. The tumor biopsy was diagnosed as a Mullerian adenosarcoma of the endometrium. We performed a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) and Bilateral Salpingectomy (BS). The post-surgical specimen was diagnosed as a pT1aNXM0 Mullerian adenosarcoma of the endometrium. The patient did not require adjuvant chemotherapy. She has been monitored every 3 months and has been without recurrence now for 28 months.
