ABSTRACT
Uterine tumors are a challenge encountered by every gynecologist in clinical practice. In the era of increasing incidence of endometrial cancer in the general population of women at reproductive age, compared to other genital malignancies, we should not forget about other tumors originating from the mucous and muscular layer of the uterus. Clear ultrasonographic differentiation of uterine tumors into benign (myomas) and malignant (sarcomas) lesions may sometimes prove impossible. Myomas, the most common uterine tumors, are characterized by discrete vascularization on color Doppler and high blood flow velocity as well as the lack of early diastolic notch on Doppler ultrasound. Sarcomas, on the other hand, show characteristic rich vascularization. Rapid tumor growth should also be noted when making the diagnosis. There are multiple known causes of uterine tumors. So far, no clear Doppler flow markers have been identified to characterize benign and malignant lesions.
ABSTRACT
A case of umbilical cord pseudocyst in the first pregnancy in a 30-year old female patient. In this study the authors presents the course of pregnancy, ultrasound description, parturition and the evaluation of the newborn after birth. Using the available literature ultrasound compared with the documentation and the prognosis for the fetus. Preparing a case searched Medline for analysis of previous studies and descriptions of the umbilical cord cyst in the second trimester of pregnancy. Due to the correlation with aneuploidy and lethal defects, it was found that the visibility of cystic masses within the umbilical cord, regardless of the gestation period should be an indication for the intensive monitoring of fetal ultrasound and referral center for testing fetal karyotype.
