The most common achondroplasia mutation should be considered for prenatal DNA testing in cases with ultrasound findings of achondroplasia and multiple-suture synostosis. This is crucial for the genetic counselling and perinatal management of the fetus.
Uterine fibroids represent the most common type of benign tumor of female genital tract with rate of incidence between 20% and 30% in women older than 35 years. According to current bibliography, the percentage is still increasing due to the fact that many women are postponing their reproductive mapping. Laparoscopic morcellation of uterine fibroids and uterus specimen after hysterectomies has great clinical significance, concerning dissemination and implantation of uterine fragments inside the peritoneal cavity. Parasitic myomas reveal a rare entity, reflecting a broad spectrum of pathogenesis. In cases of parasitic uterine fibroids surgical dissection is mandatory to avoid signs of malignancy.
