Inflammatory Myoglandular polyps (IMGPs) are rare intestinal polyps that occur frequently in the left colon and may present with hematochezia. Only a small number of cases have been reported in the right colon (2%). We present a case of IMGP in the proximal ascending colon. A 46-year-old woman of mixed ethnicity presented with a history of abdomino-pelvic pain and constipation. CT scan suggested possibility of malignancy. On colonoscopy, a non- obstructive polyp in proximal ascending colon was biopsied followed by right hemicolectomy. Patient also underwent total abdominal hysterectomy at the same time for fibroids. The colonic polyp revealed features of IMGP with focal adenomatous changes. The polyp was characterized by epithelial erosion, inflamed granulation tissue, hyperplastic and dilated glands, and proliferating smooth muscle. IMGP needs to be distinguished from other non-neoplastic colonic polyps, which includes Peutz-Jeghers polyps, inflammatory pseudopolyps, juvenile polyps, and inflammatory fibroid polyps. We report a large sized inflammatory myoglandular polyp with suspicious imaging findings and presence of adenomatous changes that mimicked malignancy that requires comprehensive evaluation and follow up.

Background: Vesico-Vaginal Fistula (VVF) is a major cause for concern in many developing countries with significant morbidity. Among the different techniques abdominal approach of VVF repair is important one. Objective: To find out the outcome of VVF repair by abdominal approach. Materials and Methods: It is a prospective study. Twenty-three patients with VVF were operated with abdominal approach from the period of January 2016 to January 2019. Age of patients, co-morbidities, cause, size and location of VVF were evaluated. Then abdominal approach of VVF repair was done. Operative time and need of blood transfusion were encountered. Post operative (POD) urine leakage, wound infection or other complications were enlisted. Patients were discharged with keeping urethral catheter for 14 days. Follow up was done after 1 and 3 month and in each follow up history and physical examination was done. All collected data were evaluated. Results: Mean age of the patient was 40 years. Among the 23 patients 12 (52%) patients had history of total abdominal hysterectomy, 9 had history of caesarian section and 2 cases had history of pelvic surgery. VVF repair was done at least 12 weeks after its occurrence. Operative time ranged from 90 minutes to 150 minutes. In the immediate POD no obvious complications were noted except one patient developed wound infection on 7th POD. Follow-up done as per schedule and no recurrence of VVF noted. Conclusion: VVF repair through abdominal approach is a feasible, safe and effective technique if performed meticulously. KYAMC Journal Vol. 11, No.-3, October 2020, Page 129-132

ABSTRACTA 60-years-old, male patient presented with a-tender swelling in the right iliac fossa with right hip flexiondeformity suggesting of psoas abscess. Following emergency drainage of faeculant pus, the general conditionof the patient improved. The barium enema showed leaking ascending colonic ulcer and colonoscopicexamination revealed nonspecific ulcerative lesion in the ascending colon. Repeat investigations were alsonon-conclusive except there was a stricture at the ascending colon on colonoscopy. A second operationshowed that there was a huge mass of terminal ileum, cecum and ascending colon and perforation of ascendingcolonic ulcer most likely carcinoma. Right hemicolectomy was performed with uneventful postoperativeperiod. Histopathological examination revealed well differentiated adenocarcinoma limited to the musclelayer of the ascending colon and features suggestive of colonic tuberculosis at the same site. Antituberculartreatment was completed with regular follow-up and monitoring on CEA level. Patient has been doing well3 years postoperatively. Although rare, the coexistence of colonic tuberculosis with carcinoma may occur. Adefinitive diagnosis can be established only by histological examination.Key Words: Colonic tuberculosis, Adenocarcinoma, Histology.

Ohvira syndrome is rare complex anomaly consisting of uterus didelphys, unilateral ipsilateral obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. It typically presents with dysmenorrhea or pelvic pain shortly after menarche due to collection of secretions in the uterus. Reporting a case of 32 years unmarried nulligravida lady with complaints of pain abdomen since 20 days with history of similar complaints 15 years bac. Patient was on Inj. DMPA 2 years back. On examination upper limb skeletal deformity-left radial hemimelia present with a mass of 14-16 weeks gravid uterus on per abdomen examination. USG (February 2020), was suggestive of uterus didelphys bicollis with collection of 108 cc noted in the right uterine cavity with right kidney agenesis with obscured right ovary. Total abdominal hysterectomy with left salphingo-oopherectomy was done. Specimen features were suggestive of uterus didelphys bicornis bicollis with right uterus hematometra with right cervix blind with right sided blind vagina with features suggestive of Ohvira syndrome.

Worldwide cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancers among females. Pelvic recurrence, distant metastases, or a combination of both can occur in patients of carcinoma cervix. A 42-year-old P2L2 with a history of carcinoma cervix stage 3-b came to our OPD for routine follow up. Two year back she was managed with chemoradiation for her primary carcinoma which had parametrium extension. There was a 1 × 1 cm lesion on the anterior vaginal wall which was diagnosed to be cervical recurrence. Patient underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy. Patient is disease free till now. Treatment decisions should be individualised based on the performance status of the patient, the site of recurrence and/or metastases, the extent of metastatic disease, and prior 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.

Background. Endometriosis usually occurs in the pelvis and often involves the ovaries, the uterosacral and broad ligaments, and the pelvic peritoneum. In rare instances, it can occur in the vasculature of the pelvis. Patients with endometriosis present with abnormal pain, menstrual cycle disruption and infertility. Management of endometriosis is usually surgical with excision of the tissue via laparoscopic means. Case. A 42-year-old Gravida 5, Para 2-0-3-2 patient with a 22 year history of endometriosis, who had had multiple laparoscopic endometriosis resections, total abdominal hysterectomy, and an exploratory laparotomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, presented with left pelvic pain when standing, dyspareunia, and a 3.7 cm cyst on ultrasound. The patient underwent laparoscopic vessel endometriosis resection and excision of endometriotic nodules from external iliac vessels. Final pathology report showed evidence of old endometriosis in all locations. On interval follow-up, the patient reported sustained relief from pain. Conclusion. Complete resection of endometriosis from large vessels can be successfully achieved laparoscopically by a well-experienced surgeon with delicate, proper techniques.

Abstract Background Catamenial pneumothorax is characterized by spontaneous recurring pneumothorax during menstruation, which is a common clinical manifestation of thoracic endometriosis syndrome. There are still controversies about its pathogenesis. Case presentation A 43-year-old woman with a history of endometriosis came to our hospital due to recurring pneumothorax during menstruation. Uniportal Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) exploration was performed on the eve of menstruating. We thoroughly explored the diaphragm, visceral and parietal pleura: The lung surface was scattered with yellowish-brown implants; no bullae were found; multiple diaphragmatic defects were found on the dome. And surprisingly, we caught a fascinating phenomenon: Bubbles were slipping into pleural cavity through diaphragmatic defects. We excised the diaphragmatic lesions and wedge resected the right upper lung lesion; cleared the deposits and flushed the thoracic cavity with pure iodophor. Diaphragmatic lesions confirmed the presence of endometriosis, and interestingly enough, microscopically, endometrial cells were shedding with impending menses. After a series of intraoperative operations and postoperative endocrine therapy, the disease did not recur after a period of follow-up. Conclusion We have witnessed the typical signs of catamenial pneumothorax at the accurate timing: Not only observed the process of gas migration macroscopically, but also obtained pathological evidence of diaphragmatic periodic perforation microscopically, which is especially precious and confirms the existing theory that retrograde menstruation leads to diaphragmatic endometriosis, and the diaphragmatic fenestration is obtained due to the periodic activities of ectopic endometrium.

A 13-year-old female patient with refractory primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) in the right eye who had a history of multiple glaucoma operations underwent ab interno 180-degree trabeculectomy with the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) targeting the nasal and inferior angles. On postoperative day 1, the intraocular pressure (IOP) of the right eye reduced from 43 to 15 mmHg while on medical therapy. The patient maintained this IOP level throughout the 6-month follow-up. Ab interno KDB trabeculectomy targeting both nasal and inferior angles may be an effective and safe procedure for the treatment of PCG even in eyes with a history of previously failed glaucoma procedures.
