“…Fistula associated with uterus is a rare problem. It could have been caused by cancer in adjacent organ or uterus or cervix themselves [ 10 ]; conversely, it could be developed as a complication of surgery, radiation necrosis, or pregnancy [ 11 ]. These problems are mainly seen in serosal surface and body of uterus and rarely fistulas between segments and parts of uterus itself are observed.…”

Uterine cavity-myoma fistula is a rare entity which has scarcely been reported in the literature. They are mainly secondary to a treatment and intervention. The reported options for patient evaluation and treatment are mainly invasive such as hysteroscopy. The case, described here, is a 26-year-old woman who had significant symptoms for myoma and went through uterine artery embolization. After few months of being asymptomatic, she complained of continuous spotting with minimal pain; subsequently, pelvic MRI was performed and a clear connection between endometrial cavity and myoma was shown resulting in the final treatment by radio-frequency ablation and the complete relief of the symptoms. The case highlights the importance of the necessity of the proper case selection in terms of size and the site of myoma and also the significance of imaging, mainly MRI, for rare complications corresponding to myoma treatments.

Fistulae between the colon or the small intestine and the uterus are extremely rare as the uterus is a thick, muscular organ. Here, we present the case of a 74-year-old female presenting to our surgical department because of fecal vaginal discharge for the past few months, which proved to be caused by a combined colouterine and jejunouterine fistula due to chronic diverticulitis. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy with en bloc resection of part of the jejunum and the sigmoid colon and primary anastomoses were performed. This case represents an unusual type of diverticulitis complication and aims to point out the diagnostic and therapeutic issues of such a rare medical condition.

“…Large intestine cancer is accounted as one of the prevalent cancers among societies with the same distribution rates among males and females (1,2). Epidemiologic studies have indicated that large intestine cancer is most prevalent in eastern European and Asian countries and the least prevalence rate has been reported in African and South American countries (3,4).…”

Histological types of polyps in large intestine biopsies; a single center experience

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction: Large intestine cancer is considered as one of the prevalent cancers among societies. Histological studies have shown that cancers in large intestine often originate from polyps from internal layer of the intestinal epithelial tissue. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the types of polyps in large intestine biopsies in patients referring to Al-Zahra hospital in Iran. Patients and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on patients undergoing colonoscopy in 2014-2019. Characteristics of polyps were noted based on reports of colonoscopy and pathology. Results: In this study, 372 biopsies from patients aged between 10-96 years were analyzed. No significant difference was observed between two genders regarding location, size, histology, and morphology of polyps (P > 0.05). Adenomatous epithelial polyps are the most common types in all ages). Further analysis showed that most of the discovered polyps (23.3%) were in transverse colon. Conclusion: Adenomatous epithelial polyps are more frequent in patients because most of the discovered polyps were in transverse colon and most of them were adenomatous epithelial. These data were in line with the most of previous studies; however some paradoxical results were reported. More studies on larger populations should be performed.
