ABSTRACT
A 46-year-old woman was referred to gynecology for the assessment and treatment of an anterior vaginal wall cyst. The preoperative physical examination and transvaginal USG of the pelvis were most consistent with the presence of a bladder cyst. Following the excision of the cyst wall, the patient was diagnosed with an endometrioma in the anterior part of the vagina. This case emphasizes difficulties in the identification of endometriosis in the vagina and other uncommon places, potential processes of disease progression, and recommended therapies.
Uterine smooth muscle tumors heterogeneous tumors include at least six histologically defined tumor types. Smooth muscle tumors are divided into two categories: benign leiomyomas and malignant leiomyosarcomas. Uterine smooth muscle tumors have also morphological variants that are difficult to interpret and identify as benign or malignant called "smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential". Immunohistochemistry for progesterone receptor and p53 is useful as a supplement to morphological evaluation of uterine smooth muscle tumors that are causing problems. It might be hard to differentiate between endometrial stromal sarcomas and uterine smooth muscle tumors.
Increased fragility fracture rates, increased morbidity and mortality, and a tremendous economic burden are all linked to osteoporosis and poor bone health. Osteoporosis, like many other diseases, benefits from early detection and prevention. The imaging and quantification of bone and bone mineral density are crucial in the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Abdominal and thoracic CT provide a valuable opportunity for osteoporosis screening. Despite the significant prevalence and effect of osteoporosis, screening and treatment rates are still low. Apart from abdominal and thoracic CT which provide a valuable opportunity for osteoporosis screening, it is possible to perform fully automatic osteoporosis screening in routine CT scans of the spine, brain, tooth or some other body parts.
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.
