Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare medical disorder, which is most often found in the immediate postpartum period. OVT is rarely considered idiopathic. We report a case of idiopathic OVT with pulmonary embolism in a 33-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomography and postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic OVT. To date, only 12 cases of idiopathic OVT have been reported. In this case report, we present a summary of these cases and a review of literature regarding management of idiopathic OVT.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have emerged as a novel treatment in a wide variety of malignancies; however, it is associated with a distinctive array of side effects known as immune-related adverse events. Hyperprogression is defined as an accelerated growth of disease burden in patients treated with immunotherapy. Limited literature is available regarding hyperprogression in hepatocellular cancer. We report a case of a 36-year-old male with no past medical history who presented with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain and was diagnosed with unresectable hepatocellular cancer and thereby started on atezolizumab and bevacizumab. The patient got only 1 cycle of treatment and unfortunately had hyperprogression of disease.

Recent advances in flexible fiberoptic endoscopy have permitted direct visualization of segments of the gastrointestinal tract hitherto considered inaccessible. Preoperative diagnoses of diseases of these areas are subject to the vagaries of roentgen interpretation. The following case report illustrates the value of the colonoscope in distinguishing intralumenal ileal neoplastic disease from an inflammatory process (e.g., ileitis, appendiceal abscess). CASE REPORT W. M., a 15-year-old white youth, was referred for eveluation of intermittent lower abdominal pain of six weeks' duration. Prior to his admission, he experienced cramping abdominal pain, fever, cough, emesis, and diarrhea. This gradually abated, leaving a residuum of recurrent abdominal pain which was relieved partially with fiexion of the right thigh.

Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is predominantly a non-aggressive benign tumour. Cases of more aggressive AMLs are present in the literature. We present 2 cases of aggressive AML behaviour. The first case is an AML with vascular extension in a young female and the second case is of AML found in regional lymph nodes in a female with a left renal AML and renal cell carcinoma.

Uterine lipoleiomyosarcoma is a heterologous sarcoma composed of variable proportions of malignant lipoblasts histologically corresponding to well differentiated liposarcoma and malignant smooth muscle cells corresponding to leiomyosarcoma. Finding of benign lipomatous component in a typical leiomyoma (lipoleiomyoma) is not an uncommon, however, lipoleiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor and only very few cases have been reported so far. We report a case of lipoleiomyosarcoma of uterine corpus in a postmenopausal woman presenting with lower abdominal pain and abdominal mass. Diagnosis of lipoleiomyosarcoma was confirmed by histopathological examination of hysterectomy specimen. This is the first case of lipoleiomyosarcoma of uterus reported from Nepal. Keywords: Lipoleiomyosarcoma, uterus, histopathology, unusual case.   doi:10.3126/njog.v2i1.1482    N. J. Obstet. Gynaecol Vol. 2, No. 1, p. 67 - 70 May -June 2007

Segmental omental infarction (SOI) is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain. Depending on the site of infarction, it mimics conditions like appendicitis, cholecystitis, and diverticulitis. Before the widespread use of Computed Tomography (CT), the diagnosis was usually made intraoperatively. SOI produces characteristic radiological appearances on CT scan; hence, correct diagnosis using this form of imaging may prevent unnecessary surgery. We present the case of a young woman who was treated conservatively after accurate radiological diagnosis.
