A rare case of primary ovarian mesonephric adenocarcinoma and a review of the literature.

OBJECTIVE: Are reported in the cervix in the female genital tract, has been reported in very few studies in the literature. In this report, we aimed to present a case with mesonephric carcinoma, which was detected in the ovary and is very rarely seen. CASE REPORT: In a case since the frozen section results of the left adnexal mass were reported as malignant. CONCLUSION: Ovarian mesonephric carcinoma is very rare and exhibits very different morphological patterns. Therefore, immunohistochemical and morphological findings should be evaluated together. If the pathological picture does not fit the common carcinomas of ovarian origin and this entity must be brought to mind, because, if these tumors with different molecular developmental pathways are diagnosed correctly, treatment schemes will change and targeted therapies will be developed too. KEY WORDS: Mesonephric carcinoma, Mesonephric like carcinoma, Ovarian carcinoma.

High visceral adiposity index is associated with female orgasmic disorder in premenopausal women: a cross-sectional study.

This study aimed to evaluate the association between the visceral adiposity index (VAI) and female sexual dysfunction (FSD). This cross-sectional study included 165 premenopausal, sexually active women admitted to the gynaecology outpatient clinic between January 2021 and April 2021. Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) was used to assess the sexual function of the women. After measuring body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC), biochemical serum analysis was performed. The VAI was calculated for all participants. The relationship between VAI and total FSFI and subdomain scores was investigated. Of the participants, FSD was detected in 65.5%. There was no relationship between the total FSFI scores and age, BMI, WC and VAI (p = .126, p = .675, p = .790, p = .220, respectively). Increased VAI levels were associated with dysfunction in orgasm (p = .008). Although VAI seems not to be directly related to FSD, it may predict the orgasmic disorder in women.Impact StatementWhat is already known on this subject? Obesity and female sexual dysfunction (FSD) are common health problems which adversely affect the biopsychosocial well-being. Although the relationship between FSD and obesity, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) has been widely discussed in the literature to date, there is not enough evidence for the link between FSD and visceral adiposity index (VAI) which is a reliable indicator of visceral fat dysfunction.What do the results of this study add?The results of this study showed that none of the factors indicating obesity such as BMI, WC and VAI were correlated with the total FSFI scores. However, a significant positive correlation was found between the VAI and female orgasmic disorder (FOD).What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? The VAI may be a useful tool for detecting FOD patients. Diagnosis and treatment of orgasmic disorder would significantly improve the patient's quality of life and general well-being. Further large-scale and high-evidence studies are needed to clarify the impact of obesity on FSD and the relationship between VAI and FOD.
