Chorioangioma is the most common non trophoblastic tumor of the placenta which can result in pregnancy complications with attendant maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity.Although majority of them are asymptomatic, clinical course depends mainly on the size of the neoplasm.We present a case of  large symptomatic placental chorioangioma managed successfully at Shri B M Patil Medical College,Vijayapura.The patient presented with acute features of abruptio placenta secondary to sudden decompression of uterus with polyhydramnios associated with large placental capillary chorioangioma of 10 cm size.Immediate intervention with Emergency LSCS helped rescue the baby of Intauterine demise and possible hemorrhagic morbidity in the mother.Further gross and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis.

AbstractThe most superficial structure in the superior mediastinum, the thymus, usually continues to grow up to the age of 5-6yrs and progressively involutes thereafter. It hardly weighs more than 10 gms in an adult. During routine dissection of a cadaver in the Anatomy Department, Government Medical College, Thrissur,an unusually large thymus was noticed in the superior mediastinum extending into the anterior mediastinum. After histological examination of the same by the Pathologist, it was concluded as a case of thymus showing involution rather than a Thymoma or a Thymic Hyperplasia.

Introduction. Symptomatic Bochdalek hernia in pregnancy is quite rare. To the best of our knowledge, there are a total of 44 cases reported in the literature between 1959 and 2016 (Hernández-Aragon et al., 2015; Koca et al., 2016). Difficulty and delay in diagnosis may lead to life-threatening complications. Case Report. We report a case of Bochdalek hernia during the 30 gestational weeks’ pregnancy in whom pregnancy continued after surgical repair which resulted in term birth. Discussion. Bochdalek hernia is diagnosed with an incidence of 1 in 2200–12500 live births, while symptomatic diaphragm hernia is much less in adults. The actual incidence of diaphragmatic hernias during pregnancy is still unknown. Symptoms may include abdominal distension, recurrent abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, inability to defecate, dyspnea, and chest pain. The patient with diaphragmatic hernia may be asymptomatic until the late weeks of gestation, as in our case, or herniation may occur during advanced gestational weeks with increased intraabdominal pressure. Conclusion. In conclusion, diagnosis of the diaphragm hernia during pregnancy is very rare. Diagnosis is rarer in symptomatic patients due to its rarity and the duration of diagnosis may, therefore, be delayed. Diaphragm hernia should be kept in mind in symptomatic patients due to its high maternal and fetal mortality rates.

The practice of abdominal massage dates to years ago and associated with foetal and maternal morbidity and mortality when undertaken by untrained traditional birth attendants in our setting. We present a 30-year old G3P2+0 with uterine rupture and intra-uterine foetal death following abdominal massage. She was resuscitated and had emergency exploratory laparotomy and repair of uterine rupture.

BACKGROUND: Some benign changes of the ovaries like hyper reaction luteinalis sometimes cannot be differentiated from malignant ones without histological examination. In these cases, surgical intervention sometimes cannot be avoided. Hyperreactio luteinalis is a condition that can occur only in pregnancy. It is characterised by bilateral benign multicystic ovarian enlargement. CASE REPORT: We present a case of misleading intraoperative findings during Cesarean section that ended with ovariectomy. CONCLUSION: During the Caesarean section, some benign masses of the ovaries, like hyper reaction luteinalis, are difficult to differentiate from malignant disease without histological examination, requiring surgical intervention.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)-FAB-AML-M3 is now the most curable subtype of acute myeloblastic leukemia. The incidence of acute leukemia in pregnancy is rare. The occurrence of acute promyelocytic leukemia in pregnancy is also a very rare but management is very critical as APL is associated with life threatening hemorrhagic diathesis. Acute promyelocytic leukemia in pregnancy has not been reported in Bangladesh. Here we report a case of APL with DIC diagnosed during pregnancy. Clinical data and therapeutic approaches are presented. Her response to treatment was excellent resulted in a live birth and complete remission of her leukemia.J Dhaka Medical College, Vol. 23, No.2, October, 2014, Page 262-265

In Pregnancy

Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is an infrequent form of vascular disease that has a significant potential for rupture, resulting in life-threatening intraperitoneal hemorrhage commonly during pregnancy. The incidence of splenic artery aneurysms has been estimated between 0.01% and 0.98%. We describe a case of sudden death of a 36 years old full term, primigravida female. During autopsy we found ruptured splenic artery aneurysm about 2.0 cm in diameter near hilum with intraperitoneal hemorrhage. It is important to be alert about the possibility of SAA in pregnant women for its early diagnosis, as the chance of it getting ruptured during pregnancy is high with high maternal and fetal mortality rates.

Cavernous hemangiomas are benign tumours of mesodermal origin. Even though various localizations of hemangioma have been described in the literature, its occurrence in the greater omentum is very rare. Only symptomatic hemangiomas are indicated for surgical treatment. There are case reports presenting resection or surgical removal of the greater omentum with hemangioma because of mechanical syndrome, consumption coagulopathy, bleeding, infection or suspicion of a malignancy. This article presents a case report of a patient operated on for a suspicion of carcinomatosis of the greater omentum. Histological examination found hemangiomatosis in the resected greater omentum.
