“…This pain significantly impacts the psychological and physiological wellbeing of patients, ultimately compromising the efficacy of treatment. Consequently, the appropriate diagnosis and management of pain are of utmost importance to improve patient outcomes and reduce suffering ( 93 ). The management of cancer-related pain involves the implementation of targeted treatments that include drug and non-pharmacological interventions, as dictated by the underlying etiology of the primary disease.…”

Gynecological malignancy remains a prevalent cause of mortality among women. Chronic cancer pain, as a severe complication of malignancy and its therapies, accounts for a substantial burden of physical and psychological distress in affected patients. Accordingly, early identification, assessment, and standardized management of such pain are crucial in the prevention or delay of its progression. In the present review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the pathological factors that contribute to pain in patients with gynecological malignancy while highlighting the underlying mechanisms of pain in this population. In addition, we summarize several treatment modalities targeting pain management in gynecologic cancer patients, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. These interventions are crucial for tumor elimination and patient survival. Chronic cancer pain exerts a significant impact on wellbeing and quality of life for patients with gynecologic cancer. Therefore, our review emphasizes the importance of addressing this pain and its psychological sequelae and advocates for a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses nursing and psychological support. In summary, this review offers valuable insights into the pathological factors underlying pain, reviews pain management modalities, and stresses the critical role of early intervention and comprehensive care in enhancing the quality of life of these patients.

“…However, in acute situations, it is routinely used mainly in pregnant women or young patients, because it offers excellent spatial and contrast resolution without exposing patients to ionising radiations. For these reasons, in the case of female patients during childbirth age, evaluating serum beta-hCG levels is mandatory [1][2][3]7,95].…”

In female patients, acute pelvic pain can be caused by gynaecological, gastrointestinal, and urinary tract pathologies. Due to the variety of diagnostic possibilities, the correct assessment of these patients may be challenging. The most frequent gynaecological causes of acute pelvic pain in non-pregnant women are pelvic inflammatory disease, ruptured ovarian cysts, ovarian torsion, and degeneration or torsion of uterine leiomyomas. On the other hand, spontaneous abortion, ectopic pregnancy, and placental disorders are the most frequent gynaecological entities to cause acute pelvic pain in pregnant patients. Ultrasound (US) is usually the first-line diagnostic technique because of its sensitivity across most common aetiologies and its lack of radiation exposure. Computed tomography (CT) may be performed if ultrasound findings are equivocal or if a gynaecologic disease is not initially suspected. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an extremely useful second-line technique for further characterisation after US or CT. This pictorial review aims to review the spectrum of gynaecological entities that may manifest as acute pelvic pain in the emergency department and to describe the imaging findings of these gynaecological conditions obtained with different imaging techniques.

“…Sin embargo, en ocasiones la misma se puede presentar de forma maligna, en este caso se trata de una mola invasiva o de la neoplasia trofoblástica gestacional, con sus diferentes variedades histopatológicas y su capacidad de producir metástasis a estructuras vecinas e inclusive a distancia, que representan aproximadamente el 0.8% de los casos8 . compatibles con una enfermedad trofoblástica gestacional14 , se los debe realizar siempre empezando desde una radiografía estándar de tórax, hasta lo más complejo como una tomografía axial computarizada de diferentes regiones corporales en virtud de la sospecha clínica, como en el caso de que se trate de una patología maligna15 .…”

La práctica médica diaria, siempre debe ser ejecutada de una manera integral en todos los niveles de atención del Sistema Nacional de Salud. Objetivo: Análisis de caso de neoplasia trofoblástica gestacional, dándole un enfoque integral desde la visión de un Especialista en Medicina Familiar. Metodología: presentación de caso clínico, observacional descriptivo. Resultados: La enfermedad trofoblástica gestacional es una patología poco frecuente, un pequeño porcentaje de los casos diagnosticados (2%), pueden convertirse desde el punto de vista clínico e histopatológico en una enfermedad maligna, el coriocarcinoma con mayor frecuencia. Conclusiones: Éste caso clínico trata una neoplasia trofoblástica gestacional, que desarrolló en una mujer adolescente, primigesta, sin antecedentes patológicos personales, ni familiares de importancia. Sin embargo, existen consideraciones sociales, familiares y culturales que también deben ser tomadas en cuenta para el manejo hospitalario.
