ABSTRACT
The pregnancy on the rudimentary uterine horn is uncommon condition, its incidence is reported nearly as 1 case per 100,000 normal pregnancy. We experienced a case of noncommunicating uterine horn pregnancy at 10-gestational week. Here we present the case with brief review of literatures.

Complications from hysteroscopy are relatively rare events. They occur more frequently with operative hysteroscopy than with diagnostic hysteroscopy. Air embolism is a rare but devastating complication of hysteroscopy that rightly receives attention as a frightening, sudden, and potentially fatal hazard in otherwise healthy women. We experienced one case of air embolism during diagnostic hysteroscopy for abnormal uterine bleeding under general anesthesia. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment seem to be the keys to prevention of catastrophic outcomes and the hysteroscopists must understand the pathophysiology of air embolism to prevent, diagnose, and manage this potentially disastrous problem effectively.

Teratoma is one of germ cell tumor, common neoplasm in women of reproductive age, but it can arise at any age. Its malignant transformation is rare, less than 2%, frequently at older age. Nearly all the cases are squamous, sarcomatous and adenomatous transformation. Here we present a case of mixed transformation, adeno-squamous cell carcinoma with brief review of the concerned literature.

Abdominal pregnancy is very rare and potentially life-threatening variation of ectopic pregnancy. Early diagnosis is very difficult. In the last several decades prenatal care has improved and noninvasive procedures such as ultrasound scanning and fetal cardiotocography have led to us a better assessment of fetal and maternal disorders. In the last 30 years an increase of diagnosed ectopic pregnancies has been noted and attributed to the greater frequency of pelvic inflammatory disease. Although the incidence of ectopic pregnancy is rising, the incidence of abdominal pregnancy, which is primarily a sequel of a missed ruptured ectopic pregnancy, remains low. We presented a case of secondary abdominal pregnancy in 14 wks with its review of literature.
