ABSTRACT Heterotopia is the occurrence of mature tissue at abnormal location. A very rare case of cartilaginous heterotopias in the broad ligament of a 47-year-old female is described. Literature contains very few references related to it. In this patient, there was no evidence of any malignancy in the abdomen or in any other part of the body, except cervical intraepithelial neoplasia changes in cervix. The peritoneal lesion was an incidental finding in this female who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy in view of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion of cervix on cervical biopsy. A firm to hard, white-colored, tubular, branched structure, embedded in left broad ligament reaching till serosa of left fallopian tube and undersurface of left ovary was present. Histopathology showed mature cartilage of hyaline type with well-formed chondrocytes and lacunae with surrounding fibrosis with no evidence of cytological atypia, reactive inflammatory changes, or foreign body reaction. This may represent metaplastic lesions of secondary Müllerian system or benign neoplastic lesions (chondroma) of submesothelium. How to cite this article Kaur K, Kaur A, Chopra N, Kaur A.

Osseous metaplasia has been described at many sites, however previous reports of osseous metaplasia in ovarian lesions are rare. This is most commonly associated with dermoid cyst, osseous metaplasia in stroma rich in serous or mucinous neoplasm and ossification of endometriotic cyst (chocolate cyst). Here The authors report a case of incidental finding of osseous metaplasia in the endometriotic cyst (chocolate cyst) of resected ovary in 42-year-old female who had gone for total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for provisional diagnosis of AUB.

Ovarian lymphoma is an infrequent disease, accounting for less than 1% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis. Symptoms include abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, abdominal pain, and urinary obstruction due to the large mass. In our case, a 60-year-old woman, underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, as she presented with low-grade follicular lymphoma (FL) in both the ovaries and the left ovary was observed to be enlarged. The tumor is categorized as lymphoma based upon immunohistochemical markers. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis and bone marrow biopsy are important for the staging of primary lymphoma of the ovary. The first-line chemotherapy regimen includes rituximab ,cyclophosphamid ,doxorubicin hydrochloride (hydroxydaunorubicin), vincristine sulfate (Oncovin), and prednisone (R-CHOP) for rapidly proliferative non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Lymphomas with slower growth patterns can be treated with Bendamustine-Rituximab and don’t need aggressive R-CHOP treatment.

Endometrial stromal sarcomas of uterus are quite rare. Most of the recurrences in these tumors are seen in the pelvis. However, extrapelvic recurrences and metastases to other parts are quite unusual. Here, we are reporting a rare case of caecal recurrence of endometrial stromal sarcoma. Case Report. A 52-year-old female presented to us with pain and lump in the right lower abdomen. The patient was earlier subjected to total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAHBSO) for low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma. Postoperatively patient received radiotherapy but no hormone therapy. After 10 years of follow up patient presented with a polypoidal lesion in the caecum. Patient was evaluated fully and subjected to resection of this polypoidal lesion, which proved out to be high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma. Conclusion. Recurrence of endometrial stromal sarcoma in the caecum is very rare. However, this entity needs to be kept in mind for differential diagnosis of a caecal mass. Recurrence in such cases may present quite late.

Adenoid basal carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a rare low-grade tumor and its cell origin is still obscure. Adenoid basal carcinoma can be confused with adenoid basal hyperplasia, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. We present here a case of a 59 year-old-female who initially presented with a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion on Pap smear. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. Histopathology revealed focal invasive adenoid basal carcinoma with extensive areas of a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion involving the endocervical gland. The immunohistochemical stain was positive for p16.

ABSTRACT Struma ovarii (SO) is a rare special type of monodermal teratoma of ovary that predominantly consists of thyroid tissue (> 50%). In only 5 to 20% of cases hyperthyroidism is seen due to functional SO. We are reporting here a case of unilateral benign cystic SO in a 50-year-old postmenopausal lady presented with pain and heaviness in lower abdomen without any signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Pelvic ultrasonogram showed right side tubo-ovarian mass and was planned for laparotomy. In preoperative investigation subclinical hyperthyroidism was diagnosed. Abdominal exploration showed cystic mass lesion in right ovary. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Histopathological examination diagnosed the mass as benign cystic SO. Patient became euthyroid after surgical removal of tumor. How to cite this article Lata I, Kapoor D.

Abstract Adenomyoma is a benign tumor composed of smooth muscle and benign endometrium. These tumors typically originate within the uterus. An extrauterine adenomyoma is a rare entity. We report a uterine-like mass consistent with an extrauterine adenomyoma presenting 22 years following a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The mass was pear-shaped with uterine-type smooth muscle and a cavity lined by functional endometrial glands and stroma. To our knowledge, only 4 other cases of an extrauterine uterine-like mass are reported in the literature. Three involved the ovary, while one was located adjacent to the broad ligament with normal pelvic organs. Although none of these other uterus-like masses were described as adenomyomas with uterine-like features, the histologic findings are strikingly similar. An understanding of the müllerian system suggests that either an embryologic malformation or a differential multipotentiality existing in the subcoelomic tissues in response to hormonal stimulation results in a supernumerary müllerian structure like a uterus, as observed in this case. The presence of endometrial glands and stroma in the mass confirms that the tissues in this mass are hormonally responsive. It is most likely that this uterine-like mass arose from the tissues of the secondary müllerian system in response to estrogenic stimulation.

<p>A 41 year old multiparous lady, with previous history of one cesarean section presented at her 24 weeks of gestation with frank hematuria. The case was diagnosed as placenta previa percreta with the bladder involvement by ultrasound doppler and confirmed by MR urogram. So, peripartum hysterectomy was planned. On opening of the abdomen, a hugely distended bladder was found, which when retracted engorged blood vessels were found over the lower segment of uterus. Baby was delivered by giving a transverse incision in the upper segment. By keeping placenta in situ, total abdominal hysterectomy was done with quick successive clamping. Severe per-operative bleeding was occurred. Bladder irrigation started following total abdominal hysterectomy. Continuous small clots were coming out through catheter. A large old blood clot was removed by cystostomy done by an urologist. A sprouting vessel and a linear injury were noticed at the base of the bladder. The vessel was ligated and the injury was repaired. After proper hemostasis, the abdomen was closed in layers. The patient was shifted to ICU. Patient developed complications like MI, watery diarrhoea, low grade fever which was managed accordingly. She was discharged healthy on her 19th post-operative day.</p>

Fibroids are benign smooth muscle tumors. Large fibroids are known to arise from the uterus, but occasionally from the broad ligament.  Here, we report a case of true broad ligament fibroid which is rare and difficult to diagnose in a 57 year old postmenopausal women with a large mass of 24 weeks size gravid uterus. Patient presented with pain lower abdomen and mass in abdomen with no other co-morbidity. This broad ligament fibroid was mimicking as ovarian tumor on ultrasonography and MRI as left ovary was not visualised separately, thus leading to diagnostic dilemma of ovarian malignancy. Mass resection with total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy was performed. No local or distant metastasis observed, and Histopathology showed true broad ligament fibroid of left side weighing 3.57 kilograms.

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.
