AbstractAggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is an uncommon mesenchymal tumor that predominantly involves the pelvis and perineum of young females. It is often clinically mistaken for more common superficial lesions such as vaginal cysts, labial cysts, and lipomas. A review of the medical literature reveals very few cases of AAM reported in pregnancy. We describe a rare case of AAM in pregnancy, clinically misdiagnosed as prolapsed cervical fibroid.

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a mesenchymal tumor arising from connective tissues with a predilection to the female pelvic soft parts. Cervico-facial localization remains rare .We report here the first case of aggressive angiomyxoma of the external ear of a 7 year old patient, which was treated successfully by surgical excision. The clinical and pathologic features and radiological aspects of this tumor are discussed.

The thorax is the rarest place among all forms of renal ectopia. We report a rare case of an unacquired thoracic kidney. Only about 200 cases of the thoracic kidney have ever been reported in medical literature worldwide. In this paper we present the rarest form of nontraumatic nonhernia associated, truly ectopic thoracic kidney. The differential diagnosis and management options and classification of this rare form of aberrant kidney are discussed.

Worldwide occurrence of snakebite in pregnancy is little known in medical literature. Furthermore to the best of our knowledge there is no case report on Krait envenomation in pregnancy in Bangladesh. It carries significant fetal wastage and maternal morbidity and mortality. Here we report a mutligravida aged 27 years at her 24 weeks of gestation with krait bite with neuroparesis with good obstetrical outcome.Bangladesh J Medicine Jul 2016; 27(2) : 86-88

Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a progressive disease, and coincidentally in pregnancy it is rare. It is characterized by progressive inflammation and destruction of bile ducts finally resulting in liver failure. A rare case of primary sclerosing cholangitis in pregnancy is presented. The course of the pregnancy was marked by threatened preterm delivery and exacerbation of cholestasis. She was successfully treated with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Although, primary sclerosing cholangitis has both maternal and fetal effects on pregnancy, the overall outcome is favorable. Only few cases have been reported using high dose ursodeoxycholic acid for primary sclerosing cholangitis in pregnancy, it often improves pruritus but has no protection against stillbirth. Data on the safety to the fetus or neonate and long-term outcome are scarce.

Barker defines pulmonary consumption as a wasting disease with destruction of the lungs, explaining that the poor results of treatments by the ancients was due to medical instruction “destitute of anatomical knowledge.” He cites Thomas Reid and quotes David Ramsay, that from 1700 to 1800, thousands of dissections led to improved treatments. Barker’s experience includes his careful observations on consumption, having lost three wives and two children to the disease, when the nature of this disease was “involved in obscurity.” He knows that he had been called “an unskillful and unsuccessful practitioner in consumption,” but feels that he has learned from his own sad experience. He comments on consumption in pregnancy and parturition as well as in young females whose “customary evacuations” fail to take place, followed by a hectic fever and often death. “Exposure to evening air, in the parade of parties, and the ball room, clad in cobweb muslin, has laid the foundation for consumption in many fashionable young females, and consigned them to an untimely grave!” Phthisis pulmonalis frequently takes place in consequence of neglected pneumonia, influenza, and measles.
