Background: Uterine fibroids, also known as Leiomyoma, are the most common benign neoplasm in the female genital tract and originate from the myometrium´s smooth muscle. Although the uterine fibroids are diagnosed frequently, the prevalence of it in the local populations is unknown. Therefore, this study was done to observe the prevalence of the fibroids in our geographic area.Methods: 4487 women aged between 18-50 years who came to our gynec OPD out of which 522 were positive for the presence of fibroids, were included into the study.  Ultrasound examination was done for all the patients. During this examination, the uterine dimensions and the structure were assessed. The number of the fibroids were counted and noted. Biopsy sample was taken from the fibroids and sent to pathology lab for further histological examination.Results: Out of the 4487 patients included into the study, 11.6% had fibroids. The predominant age group which was positive the presence of fiberoids was 40-59 years. 59.8% of them were married while 40.2% were either unmarried or divorced or widowed. The body mass index for most of them was within the normal range (60.3%), while some were slightly overweight. The most common cause of the patients to seek medical advice was menstrual disorder (37.7%) which included heavy, irregular or no periods.Conclusions: Fibroids was significantly associated with age, married marital status, overweight, pregnancy, menopause, childbirth and the presence of menorrhagia. Early detection would help in early management and thereby reduce the morbidity.

Abstract Five previous cases of extrarenal Wilms tumor (EWT) occurring in the uterus have been reported. The oldest patient was 22 years. We report a case of uterine EWT occurring in a 42-year-old woman. Histologically, there was typical triphasic differentiation, including epithelial, blastemal, and mesenchymal elements. The important differential diagnosis in this age group, the malignant mixed mullerian tumor, is excluded by the absence of glomeruloid structures and primitive tubules. The exact histogenesis of EWT is unknown but most likely relates to the presence of nephrogenic rests occurring in the female genital tract.

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is a rare type of chronic inflammation. It destroys the tissue of the affected organ, mostly affecting the kidney and gall bladder. Xanthogranulomatous inflammation of female genital tract being a rare entity, only few numbered cases involving the ovary have been reported in literature. This chronic inflammation of fallopian tubes and ovaries, usually present with pelvic masses, and on imaging and macroscopic appearance, are mostly misdiagnosed as ovarian neoplasm or tuberculosis. We are presenting a case of 14-year-old girl, who presented with an abdominal lump and on clinical and radiological investigations was suspected as ovarian malignancy but histo-pathology reported it as serous cystadenoma with xanthogranulomaotus oophoritis. The rarity of this case lies in the fact that rare destructive inflammatory features was present in a benign neoplasm of the ovary (serous cystadenoma) and that too in a youngest age reported till now.

The analysis of data on alimentary-dependent diseases among persons of the working age in the Republic of Tatarstan testifies to their steady growth. The proportion of deaths from diseases in the etiology of which nutrition plays a significant role over the period 2005-2015 was 77.9%. We have identified the main trend of eating behavior in each age group: high protein intake (in 75% of men and 81% of women) and fat (in 59% of women and 67% of men). A normal range of the body mass index (20.0-24.9), was noted in 44.3% of women and 44.7% of men. About 38% of the surveyed men and more than 2/3 of women (63.2%) do not have additional physical activity. As a result of the irrational eating behavior and low physical activity, the number of overweight men increased by 17.5% during the studied period. Only 20% of residents of the Republic of Tatarstan can be considered rational.

Imperforate hymen is the most common obstructive anomalies of the female genital tract. It is usually an isolated anomaly but can be rarely syndromic. It can be asymptomatic until puberty, but the diagnosis as early as neonatal period has been reported and as with our neonate with hematocolpos. The aim of this case report is to present the early diagnosis and treatment of a female neonate with imperforate hymen taking into consideration the religious and traditional value of preservation of virginity in our community, and to stress the importance of careful post birth examination of the neonate and early management to avoid complications of late diagnosis.

Mullerian adenosarcomas are rare tumours that may be found in any part of the female genital tract including cervix. They are more common in the reproductive age group and rare among blacks. When they present in the cervix they may be clinically misdiagnosed as an endocervical polyp and histologically as an adenofibroma. Clinical presentation is mostly as irregular vagina bleeding and as a mass in the vagina. Meticulous histopathological evaluation is crucial for its optimum management.

Tuberculosis of the vulva is very rare. It is found in about 0.2% of the cases of genital tract tuberculosis. It usually presents as small shallow ulcers and multiple sinus tracts or rarely as elephantiasis of vulva. Except for very rare cases of primary tuberculosis in the vulva, it is usually associated with tuberculosis elsewhere in the body leading to secondary tuberculosis. Here, we report a case of secondary vulval tuberculosis which presented as a vulval mass in a 40-year-old female patient. The rarity of this presentation in the female genital tract is emphasized.

The fine structure of sperm of Heterodera schachtii and Punctodera chalcoensis demonstrates a high degree of interspecific morphological and developmental diversity, particularly in comparison with previously examined Heteroderinae that develop cysts, including Globodera tabacum, as well as out-groups that lack cysts, including species of Verutus, Meloidodera, and Ekphymatodera. Sperm of P. chalcoensis are much smaller and have fewer filopodia than those of species of Heterodera and Globodera. However, the distribution of filopodia on only part of the body, the smooth surface of the filopodia, and the presence of cortical microtubules are traits shared by the three genera with cysts. Unique features shared by P. chalcoensis and Globodera species include the short persistence of fibrous bodies after spermiogenesis and the lack of sperm polarization in the female genital tract. These traits are absent in Heterodera species. Conversely, chromatin remains unchanged with respect to condensation during sperm development in P. chalcoensis and species of Heterodera but not in Globodera. Patterns of evolution of sperm may be useful for testing hypotheses of the phylogeny of Heteroderinae, but the diversity is so great that character coding will be required for a large number of representative species.

Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is the presence of hematopoietic precursors outside the bone marrow. This condition is usually associated with hematologic disorders. Although EMH can be found in almost every site in the body, female genital tract involvement is rare. The authors report EMH in the uterine cervix from a 64-year-old patient following cervical biopsy due to abnormal cervical cytology. Neither neoplasm nor hematologic disorder was detected before the diagnosis and after 1 year of follow up. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of EMH involving the uterine cervix which showed an association with tissue repair.

Uterine leiomyomas, also known as uterine fibroids, are the most common benign tumors of the female genital tract and affect 60 to 80% of women at their reproductive age. Although elevated tumor markers may be measured in benign gynaecological diseases, the association of uterine fibroids with increased levels of serum cancer antigen 125 (CA125) has not been proven to date. In the present case report we present a rare case of a 21-year-old Caucasian woman attended to our outpatient department with hypermenorrhea and pelvic discomfort that was treated for an enlarged intra-abdominal mass with an abnormally high CA-12 (777.3 U/mL).

At mucosal surfaces throughout the body mucus and mucins regulate interactions between epithelia and both commensal and pathogenic bacteria. Although the microbes in the female genital tract have been linked to multiple reproductive health outcomes, the role of cervicovaginal mucus in regulating genital tract microbes is largely unexplored. Mucus-microbe interactions could support the predominance of specific bacterial species and, conversely, commensal bacteria can influence mucus properties and its influence on reproductive health. Herein, we discuss the current evidence for both synergistic and antagonistic interactions between cervicovaginal mucus and the female genital tract microbiome, and how an improved understanding of these relationships could significantly improve women’s health.
