Vesicouterine fistula is an uncommon urogenital fistula. The incidence is on the rise because of increasing incidence of Caesarean sections. Cyclical Haematuria or Menouria is an important clinical feature of this fistula which may or may not be associated with urinary incontinence depending on the location of the fistulous tract. We present a case report of Post caesarean section Vesicouterine fistula following 2 Caesarean sections. This was successfully managed by laparotomy with repair of fistulous tract in bladder wall and Total Abdominal Hysterectomy for multiple Fibroid uterus done. Menouria is a rare event in Gynecology and one should always keep this possibility in mind when there is cyclical haematuria. A 42 year old Bangladeshi woman was hospitalized with complaints of menorrhagia, lower abdominal pain for last 8 years, cyclical hematuria for last 20 years. She was mildly anemic, haemodynamically stable and regularly menstruating women. The primary Ultrasound scans suggested multiple fibroid with cystic ovary in left side. Cystoscopy was done and findings are a fistulous opening in the bladder measuring around 7mm in size. It was supratrigonal in position. The patient had no history of Endometriosis, Pelvic irradiation therapy, Inflammatory disease, Trauma or Malignancy. Initially there was dilemma in her diagnosis and the patient was diagnosed as a case of bladder Endometriosis besides fibroid uterus. So surgery was planned and Total Abdominal Hysterectomy & bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy done. There was a fistula about 3cm × 2cm in the lower part of the body of uterus connecting with the base of Bladder. Fistula repaired after dissection, patient follow up done and catheter removed after 14 days without any complications. Vesicouterine fistula can be prevented if care is taken to separate the bladder from the uterus during repeat Caesarean sections.

Intravesical migration represent as uncommon complication of intrauterine device insertion. We present a case of an IUD that migrated to the urinary bladder and impacted in urinary bladder wall, causing significant urinary symptoms. A 44 years old woman presented with menorrhagia, lower abdominal pain and urinary symptoms since past 1 year. She reported an IUD insertion 10 years back. Imaging detected the presence of IUD in the urinary bladder wall with large fibroid in uterus. Under anaesthesia, total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salphingoophorectomy is performed and IUD was removed out of the bladder without any complications. In her follow-up evaluation after 2 week, she had no urinary symptoms. A regular follow-up of IUD for visible thread would help in earlier detection of misplaced IUD and prevent the complications such as intravesical migration.

Background: Fibroids are the most common benign tumours of smooth muscle cells of uterus in females and typically found during the middle and later reproductive years. As fibroid is an estrogen and progesterone dependent tumour, it gradually decreases in size during starting of menopause. The objective of this presented study was to determine management options among fibroid uterus patients. Methods: 50 number of patients were included in this study those who’s age of 20-55, with symptomatic uterine fibroid and undergone hysterectomy or myomectomy. Postmenopausal, Pregnancy and Asymptomatic fibroid were excluded from this study. Results: The study showed that 52 percent of patient having fibroid uterus were belonged to 31-40 years of age. The mean age was 41.2±6.07. The majority 74% of patients in this study presented with menstrual abnormalities, 40% presented with abdominal lump. Dysmenorrhoea was 26%, 6% patient had primary subfertility and 14% secondary subfertility. Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) with unilateral salpingo- oophorectomy done in 10% cases, TAH with bilateral salpino-oophorectomy in 22% cases, non descent vaginal hysterectomy in 6% cases, myomectomy done in 20% cases and polypectomy was done in 2% cases. Conclusion: Uterine fibroids are very common in women and frequently in late reproductive and perimenopausal years. It is also a common gynecological problem in our country, which frequently disturbs the lives of woman. Women now have choice of therapies for the treatment of fibroids.

Objectives: (1) To evaluate the risk of malignancy in surgically removed ovarian cysts that was before the operation neither simple nor complex. (2) To determine the relationship of age with type of ovarian tumour. (3) To categorize the management of these cases according to the intra-operative findings. (4) To analyze the occurrence of various histopathological types of tumour. Date Source: Medline Study Design: Single centered prospective descriptive study of 150 cases. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Shaikh Zayed Hospital Lahore from 1st July 2005 to,31st December 2006. Subject and method: 150 patients presented with adnexal cysts on preoperative ultrasonography, peroperative findings and histopathology reports. These patients were followed up in OPD. Results: Showed the distribution of non-neoplastic and neoplastic tumours which were 84% and 16% respectively. The occurrence of malignancy increased with advancing age especially after 45 years Common presentations were lower abdominal pain (53%) followed by menstrual disturbances (30%), abdominopelvic mass, abdominal distension and infertility. Risk of malignancy also increased with parity. 73% masses were unilateral, 84% benign masses were unilocular whilst 85% malignant masses were echogenic and the complex cysts with papillary projection and multiloculations showed 3-6 times higher risk of malignancy. Most patients were managed by exploratory laparotomy. Cystectomy and total abdominal hysterectomy were the commonest procedures performed. Regarding histopathologic evaluation 40% patients had tumours, 2.66% borderline malignancy and 13.3% malignant. 44% had non-neoplastic lesions. Serous and endometriotic cysts were the commonest benign histopathologic types and among malignant ones, epithelial ovarian tumours were the leading variants. Conclusions: Preoperative characterization of adnexal masses using sonographic and demographic data may have considerable potential in determining risk of malignancy and may be advantageous in terms of counseling patients for management.

Leiomyoma is one of the most commonly encountered benign gynaecological neoplasms. With a wide range of symptoms, sometimes even asymptomatic, these tumors are easy to diagnose and treat, unless there are degenerative changes, which makes them difficult to diagnose and differentiating them from other serious conditions including malignancy, thereby, complicating their management also. Here, the case present to you a case of 48-year-old women with symptoms and clinical examination suggesting fibroid uterus but imaging studies inconclusive to differentiate fibroid uterus with ovarian malignancy, thus, creating a diagnostic dilemma. Ultimately, patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, keeping possibility of ovarian malignancy. Histopathological examination of the specimen of total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy concluded extensive cystic degeneration of leiomyoma and no evidence of malignancy.

Carcinosarcomas of the pancreas are rare entities with a dismal prognosis. We report a rare case of pancreatic carcinosarcoma in a 49-year-old African American female who underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with right salpingo-oophorectomy and exploration of the pancreatic mass. The surgery revealed a sclerotic mass in the body and tail of the pancreas that was surgically unresectable, and a pancreatic biopsy confirmed the pathology of pancreatic carcinosarcoma. Histologically, the lesion showed a high-grade spindle cell sarcoma and adjacent moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. On immunohistochemical examination, the carcinomatous component was positive for epithelial markers, and the sarcomatous component was focally positive for SMA and desmin. In addition, the sarcomatous component showed diffuse immunoreactivity for CD10 with a surrounding myofibroblastic proliferation. Reports have associated expression of CD10 in pancreatic stellate cells with increased tumor aggressiveness. In this article, we report a case of pancreatic carcinosarcoma that shows sarcomatous CD10 immunoexpression with higher Ki67 labeling in the sarcoma than the carcinoma raising the question if the sarcomatous component could be potentiating the aggressiveness of the carcinomatous component.

Abstract Background Subacute uterine inversion is a very rare complication of mid-trimester termination of pregnancy that should be considered in a situation where unsafe abortion occurs. Case presentation We present a case of subacute uterine inversion complicated by hypovolemic shock following an unsafe abortion in a 17-year-old nulliparous unmarried girl. She presented with a history of collapse, mass protruding per vagina that followed Valsalva, and persistent lower abdominal pain but not vaginal bleeding. This followed her second attempt to secretly induce an abortion at 18 weeks amenorrhea. On examination, she was agitated, severely pale, cold on palpation, with an axillary temperature of 35.8 °C, a tachycardia of 143 beats per minute and unrecordable low blood pressure. The abdomen was soft and non-tender with no palpable masses; the uterine fundus was absent at its expected periumbilical position and cupping was felt instead. A fleshy mass with gangrenous patches protruding in the introitus was palpated with no cervical lip felt around it. We made a clinical diagnosis of subacute uterine inversion complicated with hypovolemic shock and initiated urgent resuscitation with crystalloid and blood transfusion. Non-operative reversal of the inversion failed. Surgery was done to correct the inversion followed by total abdominal hysterectomy due to uterine gangrene. Conclusion Our case highlights an unusual presentation of subacute uterine inversion following unsafe abortion. This case was managed successfully but resulted in significant and permanent morbidity.

Placental adhesive disorders involve the growth of placental tissue into or through the uterine wall. Among these disorders, placenta percreta is the rarest one. However, it may cause significant complications. This report aimed to report a neglected patient with placenta percreta who developed uterine rupture with life-threatening late postpartum intra-abdominal hemorrhage. On admission, the patient had acute abdomen with moderate abdominal distention and was subjected to emergency laparotomy. A full-thickness defect of the anterior uterine wall involving the hysterotomy site was seen. Placental tissues occupied both sides of the incision and posterior bladder wall was also invaded by placenta. Total abdominal hysterectomy with partial resection of the posterior bladder wall was performed.

Leiomyoma uterus is the most common benign solid tumor in female. Most of it situated in the body of the uterus.  cervical myoma account 3%-8% of uterine myoma. Cervical myoma can frequently cause diagnostic dilemmas. Pedunculated cervical myoma can arise from the endocervical canal or from the uterine cavity and protrude through the cervix, may become necrotic, infected and gangrenous due to inadequate blood circulation through a long pedicle or if the pedicle of leiomyoma twists. This can cause menometrorrhagia, recurrent vaginal discharge leading to anemia and sepsis. A case of huge pedunculated cervical leiomyoma has been reported here. A 40 years old female, para 4, with menometrorrhagia, excessive vaginal discharge and severe anemia with haemoglobin 5gm% and challenging huge cervical pedunculated leiomyoma of size 13cm*9cm*9cm prolapsed outside introitus which is congested necrotic, infected causing uterine prolapse with bilateral hydroureter and hydronephrosis. Patient underwent bilateral internal iliac artery ligation and fibroid excision followed by total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy after tracing both ureters.  Post-operative period was uneventful. Histopathology was confirmatory of leiomyoma.

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTN) are proliferative degenerative disorders of placental elements and include complete or partial mole (90%), invasivemole (5-8%), choriocarcinoma (1-2%) and placental site tumor (1-2%). Chorioadenoma destruens is a trophoblastic tumor, characterized by myometrial invasion through direct extension or via venous channels. We present a case of invasive mole eroding uterus and uterine vasculature, causing sudden rupture of uterus with massive haemoperitoneum mimicking ectopic pregnancy. A 20 year old G1P0 at 6 weeks gestation presented in Casualty of Kasturba Hospital complaining of severe acute onset lower abdominal pain for one hour. Clinical examination revealed shock. Sonography suggested ectopic pregnancy and immediate exploratory laparotomy was decided. On laparotomy, 2000cc of haemoperitoneum was noted. Grape like vesicles protruding through fundal perforation with profuse active bleeding was seen. Bleeding persisted despite evacuation. Step wise uterine devascularisation failed to achieve haemostasis. Total abdominal hysterectomy was performed as a life saving measure.Kathmandu University Medical Journal Vol.12(4) 2014; 288-291

A 55 year-old woman presented with abdominal pain. Transvaginal ultasonography demonstrated an enlarged fibroid uterus. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and was found to have torsion of a large pedunculated leiomyoma. There are fewer than 10 cases reported in the literature of torsion of a uterine leiomyoma.
