In patients with PCOS, serum CRP levels were higher than age and BMI-matched controls. Furthermore, BMI was strongly related to CRP only in overweight patients with PCOS.
Introduction
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia comprises a unique group of human neoplastic diseases that derive from fetal trophoblastic tissues. The hydatidiform mole is the most common form of GTD, representing 80 % of cases. An invasive mole is a hydatidiform mole characterized by the enlarged hydropic villi invading into the myometrium, into vascular spaces, or into extrauterine sites.
Case presentation
Here is a case with invasive mole after the evacuation of complete molar pregnancy, presented with an acute abdomen. We desired to preserve the uterine because our 21 years old patient doesn't have a child.
Clinical discussion
An emergency abdominal ultrasound scan showed a 47 ∗ 34 ∗ 55 mm ill-defined hyperechoic heterogeneous mass with anechoic cystic vascular spaces within it, in the posterior wall of the uterus away from the endometrium that extended to the serous layer of the uterus. Laparotomy was done. After the evacuation of 2 L of hemoperitoneum, an approximately 5 × 4 metastatic, vesicular mass was seen in the posterior wall of the uterus, which was resected and uterine preservation was successful.
Conclusion
This case report describes the clinical, imaging, surgical and histopathological findings of Invasive mole after a hydatidiform molar pregnancy. Our case highlights the feasibility of fertility-preserving surgery in the case who experienced life-threatening hemorrhage due to a ruptured uterus.
Purpose
This study aimed to assess incidental abnormal findings in the paranasal sinuses and anatomical variations of the ostiomeatal complex (OMC) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
Materials and Methods
MRI scans of 616 patients (mean age, 44.0±19.4 years) were evaluated. Prior to obtaining the MRI scans, a checklist of patients’ clinical symptoms was filled out after obtaining their consent. The Lund-Mackay classification was used to assess the paranasal sinuses and OMC. The prevalence of abnormal findings and their associations with patients’ age, sex, and subjective symptoms were analyzed by the chi-square test, independent-sample t-test, and analysis of variance. The level of significance was set at 0.05.
Results
Abnormal findings in the paranasal sinuses were detected in 32.0% of patients, with a significantly higher prevalence in males (
P
<0.05), but no significant association with age (
P
>0.05). Epithelial thickening and retention cyst were the most common abnormal findings in the paranasal sinuses. According to the Lund-Mackay classification, 93% of the study population had normal sinuses (score<4). Concha bullosa and paradoxical concha were detected in 15.3% and 3.4%, respectively, with no significant association with the presence of septal deviation or Lund-Mackay classification (
P
>0.05).
Conclusion
Considering the relatively high prevalence of abnormal findings in the paranasal sinuses, it appears that clinical symptoms alone are not sufficient to diagnose sinusitis. A more accurate strategy would be to assess radiographic images of the paranasal sinuses and use a classification system. Sinusitis should be suspected in patients receiving a high score in this classification.
Introduction
Aggressive angiomyxoma is an uncommon mesenchymal tumor in women who are in reproductive age, that occurring in the pelvis and perineal zone with a high risk of local infiltration and recurrence.
Case presentation
We describe a case of a 28-year-old woman with a huge recurrent vulvar aggressive angiomyxoma.
Clinical Discussion
Our patients underwent surgery and tumor resection for two times but had relapsed every 2 years through 5 years and finally she underwent total vulvectomy. The patient received Decapeptide for 3 months to prevent tumor recurrence after surgery and to date,there has been no evidence of local recurrence.
Conclusion
Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare tumor with high recurrence rate. The best treatment is surgical resection by experienced Gyn-oncologist in teamwork and territory Hospital.
