Dermoid cysts or mature cystic teratoma are the most common type of ovarian germ cell tumor usually occurring in the reproductive age group. They are commonly unilateral and 10-12 % can be bilateral. They are commonly multicystic and contain sebaceous fluid as well as tissue of three germ cell layers e.g. ectoderm (skin, hair, brain) mesoderm (muscle, fat ,teeth ,bone, and cartilage) and endoderm (mucious and ciliated epithelium).These teratomas usually arise from the gonads but has been found anywhere in the body. Their site, size and clinical presentations are extremely variable causing confusion with medical and surgical diseases, acute emergency due to rupture and torsion , bowel and bladder injuries, and pregnancy etc. The malignant teratoma occurs at 3-4% only among ovarian carcinoma. The malignant transformation in benign cysts is a rare occurrence with 1-2% cases and squamous cell carcinoma being the commonest. This review is undertaken to study the different presentations produced by these tumors. Keywords: bizarre; cyst; dermoid.

Umbilical Endometriosis

Endometriosis is the commonest gynaecological problem; it affects 7 to 10% women in reproductive age group. Commonest site being the pelvic organs, extrapelvic presentation in almost all parts of the body have been reported. However umbilical endometriosis has been reported in more than one hundred cases. It was first described by Villar in 1886. Umbilical endometriosis accounts for only 0.5% to 1% of all endometriosis cases. Most of the reported cases occurred in the scar following gynaecological and obstetrical surgery. A few cases of primary umbilical endometriosis have been reported. We report such a rare case of primary umbilical endometriosis and the diagnosis was done by FNAC & the patient underwent wide local excision.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cmoshmcj.v13i1.19426

Modern Perspective

Objectives: Karnini Yoni Vyapad which is one among twenty Yoni Vyapads is a common problem of the females in the reproductive age group. Since the symptoms of Karnini Yoni Vyapad as explained in Sam-hitas has got similarity with cervical erosion in modern perspective so it has been taken into consideration in this study. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the trial drug i.e. Khadiradi Varti in the treatment of cervical erosion. Method: 30 numbers of patients suffering from Karnini Yoni Vyapad (Cervical erosion) were selected from OPD and IPD and were treated with Khadiradi Varti per vaginally following all aseptic measures, once a day preferably at bedtime for 7 consecutive days after completion of menstrual cycle. Such 3 cy-cles were performed for each patient. Result: The trail drug have efficacy in reducing severity of signs and symptoms like degree of cervical erosion (Yoni Karnika), cervical odema (Yoni Soth), discharge per vagina (Yoni Srava), bleed on touch (Rakta Srava) associated with Karnini Yoni Yyapad without having any tox-icity or adverse effect on the body.

Ovarian tumours are commonly seen in reproductive age group in women. However, when they occur at extremes of age, the suspicion of malignancy increases. The detection of dermoid cyst at 56 years of age is uncommon, hence proper imaging with CA-125 level monitoring is essential. Awareness of benign tumours or rare possibility of malignant transformation in such age is mandatory for surveillance management or planning the surgical procedure.

Background. Iodine deficiency disorder is a major public health problem in Ethiopia that is more common in women of reproductive age. However, it is not well addressed and there is a lack of information on its prevalence and associated factors in women of reproductive age group. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess goiter prevalence and associated factors among women of reproductive age in the Demba Gofa woreda, Gamo Gofa Zone, Southwest Ethiopia. Methods. A community-based cross-sectional study was used among 584 randomly selected women in the reproductive age group from February 05 to April 20, 2016. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the study kebeles, and a systematic random sampling technique was used to select the study samples. Data were collected through a pretested questionnaire, and the goiter examination was done clinically for each participant. The collected data were coded and entered into a computer for statistical analysis using EpiData version 3.2 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Variables with a P value ≤0.25 in bivariate logistic regression analysis were entered into multivariate logistic regression analysis, and finally, variables with a P value <0.05 in multivariate logistic regression were considered significantly associated with the dependent variable. Results. The total goiter rate was 43%, 95% CI = 39.2–46.9. Cassava consumption (AOR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.03–4), salt wash before use (AOR: 3.14, 95% CI: 1.1–11.3), salt use after >2 months of purchase (AOR: 11, 95% CI: 5–26), family history of goiter (AOR: 4.6, 95% CI: 1.4–15.8), and poor knowledge of iodized salt (AOR: 2.7, 95% CI: 1.4–5.5) were significant factors associated with goiter. Conclusion. Iodine deficiency was found to be severe in women of reproductive age in the study area. This showed that women of reproductive age, especially during pregnancy, are exposed to iodine deficiency and its adverse effects at delivery. Thus, they need urgent supplementation with iodine, improved access to foods rich in iodine, and intake of iodized salt. Additionally, health education should focus on the importance of iodized salt, the proper method of use, and the prevention of iodine deficiency, which are highly recommended to minimize the problem.
