We report a case of a 47-year-old female (posthysterectomy) with bleeding per vaginum. Imaging studies showed a large abdomino-pelvic mass diagnosed as extrauterine adenomyoma with uterus-like features. This pathological entity is extremely uncommon with only few case reports available in the reported literature. This case is being highlighted for its rarity and to discuss the possible theories for origin of this uncommon condition.
Presence of microfilariae in bone marrow aspirate is an uncommon finding and its association with leukaemia has rarely been described. We present a case of young female from north India in which bancroftian microfilariae was seen in peripheral blood and bone marrow smears as an incidental finding along with 88 % myeloid blast that were positive on myeloperoxidase stain. There was no associated eosinophilia. She was started on diethylcarbazine for microfilariae, before the start of induction chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukaemia. Presently she is post induction and is doing fine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
