Female genital tract anomalies are rare but may have a serious impact on the reproductive health. Here we are going to discuss a rare case of pin point hymenal opening. Here the patient presented to us with primary infertility. She presented to a health care centre for the first time therefore she had never been examined. After all the initial investigations a diagnosis of micro perforate hymen was made. She was posted in OT for hymenectomy. She underwent excision of the hymenal tissue and the edges were sutured to the introitus to prevent reclosure of the hymen. She had an uneventful postoperative period. Patient was discharged after complete recovery at 5th post-operative day. She resumed sexual functions 6 weeks after the surgery. These anomalies usually require surgical interventions. Correct surgical intervention is required for a better psychological and reproductive health.

Congenital malformations of female genital tract are frequently seen in Gynaecological clinics, incidence being upto 5-6% in cases of infertility. Most of these anomalies are related to uterus and vagina, abnormalities related to ovaries and fallopian tubes are of rare occurrence and the exact incidence of these anomalies are not known, only a few incidental case reports are available in literature. Here, we present a rare case report of absent mid- tubal segment of fallopian tube in a patient of infertility.

ABSTRACT Congenital anomalies of the female genital tract result from müllerian duct anomalies and/or abnormalities of the urogenital sinus or cloaca. Due to the close developmental relationship between the genital and the urinary tracts, association of anomalies in both systems are common. This article reviews the appearance of developmental anomalies of the female urinary (hypospadias) and genital tracts and points out complication associated with bicornuate uterus. A 40-year-old primigravid woman conceived a pregnancy after 10 years of primary infertility. The prenatal course was uncomplicated. At 38 weeks’ gestation, she was successfully delivered by elective low transverse cesarean section.

The overall incidence of synchronous female genital tract malignancies is 0.63%. The most frequently observed synchronous neoplasms are those of the ovary together with the endometrium. Cervical and ovarian malignancies are exceedingly rare. We present the case of a female patient who complained of abdominal distention and pain abdomen. A cervical pap smear was performed, and it showed inflammation and atrophic changes. USG abdomen revealed findings consistent with pyometra. Repeated dilatation and curretage for resolving the pyometra was attempted, but it yielded mucinous fluid only. Another USG abdomen was done, which showed a cervical growth. The patient was taken up for staging laparotomy. Per operatively, no growth could be identified in the cervix. However, dense adhesions of the cervix with the bladder were present. A bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy specimen was sent for intraoperative cytology, and showed mucinous cystadenoma, ovary. Further, the completion total hysterectomy specimen was sent for histopathology. Sections showed adenocarcinoma, cervix and leiomyoma, uterus. The cervical adenocarcinoma showed infiltration into the uterine leiomyoma. Thus, we document a very rare case involving a patient who presented with three coexistent tumours involving bilateral ovaries and uterus. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of the combination. Accurate diagnosis as separate independent primary tumours or as primary tumour associated with its metastasis, and identification the site of origin in secondary tumours has important prognostic implications and is necessary for appropriate staging and treatment.

ABSTRACT Burkitt's lymphoma is a malignant neoplasm rarely found in paranasal sinuses and skull base. We report a rare case of Burkitt's lymphoma of anterior skull base associated with acute loss of vision. A 10 years old boy presented with history of headache, diminution of vision in right eye since 15 days. Biopsy showed diffuse NHL of Burkitt's type. After treatment with chemotherapy there was complete recovery in vision. How to cite this article Gupta G, Devra V, Grover M, Varshney V.

AbstractFive new species of Rhigonema are described and illustrated from the gut of diplopods collected from the Philippines and Vietnam. R. flabellifer sp. n., R. golovatchi sp. n., R. rigonanae sp. n., R. spiridonovi sp. n. and R. voratum sp. n. are differentiated from one another and the remaining species in the genus by a combination of characters including form of the cephalic extremity, development and extent of the pilose region, female genital tract type, male and female tail shape, spicule form and number and disposition of the copulatory papillae. Two species, both from polydesmid diplopods, bear an unusual pedunculate, flap-like projection on each sector of the triangular oral aperture and have only thirteen copulatory papillae. Such projections have only previously been described from R. lanceacauda, a species from the West Indies that also shares a reduced and similarly arranged complement of thirteen male papillae. The morphology, bionomics and distribution of Rhigonema are discussed and evidence presented for the first time that nematophagy is practised by at least one species in the genus. Rhigonema leonilae (Sanchez-Velazquez, 1979) comb. n. is proposed for Ruizia leonilae Sanchez-Velazquez, 1979. Cinq nouvelles especes de Rhigonema Cobb, 1898 (Rhigonematida: Rhigonematidae) des Philippines et du Vietnam et observations sur la morphologie des formes indo-malaises et la nematophagie chez R. voratum sp. n. - Cinq nouvelles especes de Rhigonema provenant des intestins de diplopodes collectes aux Philippines et au Vietnam sont decrites et illustrees. R. flabellifer sp. n., R. golovatchi sp. n., R. rigonanae sp. n., R. spiridonovi sp. n. et R. voratum sp. n. sont differencies les uns des autres et des autres especes du genre par une combinaison de caracteres incluant la forme de l'extremite cephalique, le developpement et l'etendue de la pilosite, le type de tractus genital femelle, la forme de la queue du male et de la femelle, la forme des spicules et le nombre et la repartition des papilles copulatrices. Deux especes, provenant toutes deux de Diplopodes Polydesmides, portent une projection inhabituelle, pedonculee, en forme de languette, sur chacun des secteurs de l'ouverture buccale triangulaire et comptent seulement treize papilles copulatrices. De telles projections n'ont ete precedemment decrites que chez R.lanceacauda, une espece originaire des Antilles, qui exhibe egalement un cortege reduit de treize papilles chez le male avec la meme repartition. La morphologie, le comportement et la repartition des Rhigonema sont discutes et la preuve est apportee pour la premiere fois que la nematophagie est pratiquee par au moins une espece de ce genre. Rhigonema leonilae (Sanchez-Velazquez, 1979) comb. n. est propose pour Ruizia leonilae Sanchez-Velazquez, 1979.

The incidence rate of triple or more synchronous primary neoplasms of the female genital system is exceedingly uncommon. To the best of our knowledge, only 13 such cases have been reported in the PubMed-indexed English literature. Herein, we report a single case of triple synchronous primary neoplasms of the cervix, endometrium, and left ovary with three distinct histological patterns that were not reported previously. Moreover, we briefly present a summary table of all the English PubMed-indexed cases of triple or more synchronous primary neoplasms of the female genital system (n=13).

This is a rare case report of a 5-month-old child with a complex spinal dysraphic state, and an accessory limb (tripedus morphology), accessory genitalia, and anal dimple. The child was brought to the hospital with an accessory limb arising from the back. On clinical examination, an accessory limb arising from the lower back with a partially developed foot with the presence of toes and nails was noted. Spinal MRI was advised which revealed dysraphic features including spina bifida with the low lying and posteriorly tethered cord with diastematomyelia along with a supernumerary appendage attached to the vertebral column having rudimentary bones resembling those of extremities. The presence of an accessory limb with spinal dysraphism is quite a rare anomaly. The condition can be treated by surgical intervention and involves excision of the accessory limb with adequate dural and paraspinal muscle cover.
