Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour involving rectum and anal canal is an extremely rare entity. This is a case report of a 47 years lady presented with fresh rectal bleed associated with rectal pain and foul smelling rectal mucus discharge. On rectal examination, she had a firm mass palpable about 1.5 cm from anal verge. Considering the size of the tumour and its close proximity with cervix and involvement of levator muscles, extralevator abdominal perineal excision of rectum was undertaken with good recovery after surgery. It was followed by imatinib therapy.

An accurate diagnosis of ovarian dysgerminoma is crucial as, as its management differs from other ovarian tumours. We report a case of ovarian dyegerminoma in a 14 year old girl who presented with abdominal distention.  Examination revealed a huge intra-abdominal mass causing displacement of bowel loops laterally. On ultrasound, a solid heterogeneously hyperechoic lesion of size 18 x 9.4 cm with few cystic and necrotic areas within most likely, left adnexa reaching upto the umbilicus and shows vascularity within both ovaries not seen separately from the lesion. On CT (A+P), a heterogenous hypodense polycystic mass of size 8.5x1.4x16.7 with multiple irregular hypodensities seen in the lower abdomen and pelvis. The mass was removed after laparotomy under general anaesthesia. Finally, the diagnosis of ovarian germ cell tumor (Dysgerminoma was made. Present case presented with marked abdominal distention, without any loss of weight, appetite or any menstrual problem. Such a presentation may be unusual for such a large malignant ovarian mass.

Most of the leiomyomas are situated in the body of uterus. Fibroids arising from cervix are rare tumours accounting for 2% of all broids. Cervical leiomyomata are mostly single and are subserous or interstitial in origin. Generally these tumors present with retention of urine, constipation, sensation of something coming out of vagina and rarely at times present with abdominal mass which may mimic ovarian cancer. We report a case of 55 yr. married patient with complaints of something coming out of vagina and postmenopausal bleeding of short duration. Provisional diagnosis was a huge cervical broid protruding through the introitus on examination. Vaginal hysterectomy was done for patient along with removal of cervical broid which was conrmed on histopathology as leiomyoma. Conclusion: Huge cervical broids are rare entity and treatment is surgical removal.
