Operative Findings

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) are mesenchymal or non-epithelial neoplasms of gastrointestinal tract, with most common GI location being stomach (60%), followed by small intestine (30%), colon, rectum and oesophagus. Occurrence of GIST in jejunum is rare. Here we report a rare case of a 45 years old post-menopausal woman with pain abdomen, vomiting, malena and anemia who underwent laparotomy with resection of the tumour and anastomosis. Intra-operative findings revealed a 10x8 cms exophytic mass at the mesenteric end of the proximal jejunum, 10 cms from the DJ flexure. Diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry (CD117). Patient had an uneventful postoperative course.

Tumors of vascular origin are unusual. These tumors are predominantly malignant and commonly arise from the inferior vena cava. Benign smooth muscle tumors arising from renal vein are very rare. We present a case of leiomyoma of renal vein in a post-menopausal woman that clinically resembled a retroperitoneal paraganglioma.

Multiple Symptoms

Menopause and the related decline in estrogen result in multiple symptoms including genitourinary atrophy, vasomotor instability, and osteoporosis. The most significant long-term effect of estrogen deficiency is increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) decreases osteoporosis and associated fractures, decreases symptoms associated with menopause, and offers cardioprotection. However, ERT is not without risk because it may lead to increased risk of endometrial cancer if used without progestin, and has been questionably linked to breast cancer. Educating the post-menopausal woman concerning the risks and benefits of ERT is essential to assure compliance. ERT decreases mortality incidence and improves quality of life, and its use for any post-menopausal woman without contraindications is recommended.

Post Menopausal

Endometriosis is an estrogen dependant disorder of reproductive-age women. It is uncommon after menopause, however, peripheral estrogen production may account for endometriosis in post-menopausal women. We reported a case of a 68 year old post-menopausal woman with an adnexal mass suspected malignant ovarian tumor on imaging and normal serum CA 125 levels. Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was done. The final histopathology revealed the diagnosis of ovarian endometriosis. Rarely, ovarian endometrioma can mimic ovarian malignancy in a post-menopausal woman.

Vaginal Myomectomy

How the largest of the large (> 10 x 8 cms) sub mucous myoma arising from the fundus uteri successively promotes the occurrence of non puerperal uterine inversion over the years as depicted through 3 different illustrations imitating a gradual process; first by forming an indentation in the uterine fundus then progressively causing more dimpling in the verge of uterine inversion until finally giving rise to a full blown picture of complete uterine inversion where the uterine fundus is driven beyond the level of introitus with the consequences of prolapsed incarcerated myoma in a post menopausal woman. A total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoophorectomy were performed on all of these 3 women 2 perimenopausal and a postmenopausal; the latter was first facilitated by vaginal myomectomy further supplemented by division of the inversion ring posteriorly as described by Haultain. Key words: Non puerperal uterine inversion, submucous fundal myoma, vaginal myomectomy. doi:10.3126/njog.v1i2.2398 N. J. Obstet. Gynaecol Vol. 1, No. 2, p. 51-54 Nov-Dec 2006
