A large yolk sac malignancy in a girl, an uncommon yet challenging ovarian tumor: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: Yolk sac tumors are rare and malignant germ cell tumors of the ovary occurring in children and young women. Fertility-sparing surgical intervention with adjuvant chemotherapy has shown to improve prognosis. Abstract: We present a case of a 14-year-old girl who presented with the complaints of lower abdominal pain and distention. Her tumor markers were increased, and radiological investigation suggested the diagnosis of malignant left ovarian mass. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of Yolk sac tumor. She was subsequently managed with fertility-sparing surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy.

Partial molar pregnancy with hydrops fetalis causing intrauterine fetal demise: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: Timely prenatal diagnosis, regular checkups, and comprehensive counseling are vital in preventing and managing complications in high-risk pregnancies like partial molar pregnancy with hydrops fetalis. Abstract: A live singleton fetus with partial molar pregnancy is a rare condition. We report a case of partial mole with hydrops fetalis causing intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) in the third trimester. Our case involves a 20-year primigravid without prior antenatal checkups who presented to outpatient department at 31 weeks and 5 days of gestation with lower abdominal pain, backache, vaginal spotting, and decreased fetal movement. Ultrasound revealed partial mole, hydrops fetalis, and IUFD. The patient underwent induced delivery expelling a 1900 gm female fetus with no viability and a placenta containing 650 gm of molar tissue. Placental tissue with cystic component was confirmed as molar tissue by histopathological examination. She was discharged a few days afterward and had undetectable beta-human chorionic gonadotropin levels after a month. Prenatal diagnosis, counseling, rigorous antepartum surveillance, and appropriate postpartum follow-up are essential for the best possible mother and fetal outcomes.

Pregnancy in an isthmocele: A rare case from Nepal.

An infrequent form of ectopic pregnancy, pregnancy in an isthmocele can be hazardous due to hemorrhage or uterine rupture. With no clear guidelines for the management of this condition, surgery is the preferred option.

Cyst of rete ovarii: A case report.

Rete ovarii giving rise to cysts, and benign and malignant tumors is a rare entity. Radiological and histopathological examinations can be used to make the diagnosis of rete cyst and differentiate it from cystic tumor of ovarian origin, with surgery being the treatment of choice.

Synchronous primary endometrium and ovarian carcinoma: A case report.

Synchronous tumors of the female genital tract are rare and should be differentiated from primary endometrial or ovarian tumors with metastasis as the two entities have different therapeutic and prognostic implications.

Bilateral ovarian mucinous carcinoma (stage III) with omental involvement and incidental hydronephrosis: A rare case report.

INTRODUCTION: Though ovarian malignancies are common, mucinous ovarian carcinomas of high grade are rare. They usually occur in a young female under 40 years of age. Here, we present a case of mucinous ovarian carcinoma (stage III), with omental involvement and incidental hydronephrosis in a 67-year-old female patient. CASE PRESENTATION: A 67-year-old female patient presented to us with a history of lower abdominal pain for 2 months and per-vaginal discharge for the last 6 days. On deep palpation of the abdomen, a nodular mass occupying the suprapubic region was found. Bimanual palpation revealed a mass on the right and left adnexa. After visualization of septate cystic mass bilaterally on CECT, she was planned for staging laparotomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) with infra-colic omentectomy with peritoneal cytology. Incidentally, a horseshoe-shaped kidney with right mild hydronephrosis was found. After surgery and histopathologic examination, mucinous ovarian carcinoma (stage III), with omental involvement was confirmed. DISCUSSION: Mucinous ovarian carcinomas are rare malignancies, with different natural history, molecular profile, and prognosis as compared to other epithelial tumors of the ovary. These carcinomas can be either primary or secondary (those metastasized to the ovary from elsewhere), and this differentiation is essential. The therapeutic approach to the patients depends upon the stage at which these carcinomas are diagnosed. CONCLUSION: Mucinous ovarian carcinomas are rare and have unique features among the epithelial ovarian carcinomas. Appreciation of these features will surely make a positive impact in improving the management and thus the prognosis of these carcinomas.
