Epithelioid sarcoma is a distinct sarcoma type with specific morphology and immunophenotype. An epithelioid sarcoma of the vulva is an extremely rare and aggressive tumor and most commonly occurs on the labia majora in women of reproductive age. Only few cases have been reported, especially with the presence of focal myxoid changes. Early diagnosis is difficult because of its benign appearance as a painless subcutaneous nodule. Optimal treatment is not well established due to its rarity. We report a successfully approached case of vulvar epithelioid sarcoma that occurred in a 34-year-old female patient, treated with wide local excision, and review of the current medical literature.

Choriocarcinoma is a malignant tumor that typically appears in gonadal organs and primarily occurs in women of reproductive age. Being a primary extragonadal choriocarcinoma, primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma (PPC) is an extremely rare condition. Due to the rarity of PPC, no standardized treatment has been established so far. However, surgery combined with adjuvant chemotherapy appears to be the most optimal treatment. Here, we report a rare case of a man with PPC that was successfully treated with surgery followed by chemotherapy.

Life Threatening Complication

Bilateral vocal cord palsy is a rare but life threatening complication of lithium battery ingestion in children. This complication is mostly missed by otorhinolaryngologists due to lack of awareness on the cited subject. We present one such rare case in an infant, where the clinical presentation was found to be unique but hitherto unreported in the medical literature. This clinical record discusses this case in light of the scant current medical literature on the subject and highlights the importance of cautious monitoring of patients presenting with signs of respiratory distress after lithium battery removal.

Haemoperitoneum in women of reproductive age usually suggests either ruptured ectopic pregnancy or ruptured ovarian cysts. Metastatic choriocarcinoma is considered the least common cause of haemoperitoneum in women of childbearing age. We report a rare case of pancreatic and hepatic metastasis of choriocarcinoma in a young, 30-year-old female who had delivered 10 months prior at term gestation with no previous history of gestational trophoblastic disease or molar pregnancy. She had a short history of fever and pain in the right hypochondrium, with findings of hypovolaemic shock due to intraperitoneal haemorrhage. Unfortunately, the patient expired with massive uncontrolled bleeding from liver metastasis despite 2 emergency laparotomies within 12 h. This case report is an apt reminder to clinicians to include metastatic choriocarcinoma on the list of differential diagnoses for haemoperitoneum with a positive pregnancy test in women of reproductive age to diagnose early and to avoid life-threatening consequences.

Choriocarcinoma is part of the spectrum of gestational trophoblastic disease that occurs in women of reproductive age. Although the most common metastatic site of choriocarcinoma is the lung, primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma is rare. To diagnose primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma, the patient should have no previous gynecologic malignancy, have elevated human chorionic gonadotropin, and have pathological confirmation of the disease excluding gonadal primary site of the tumor. Due to the paucity of data, there are no guidelines for treatment. Prognosis of this malignancy is extremely poor. We report a rare case of metastatic primary lung choriocarcinoma in a 69-year-old postmenopausal woman who was treated with combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. The patient had a good outcome and is doing well after 1-year follow-up.

ABSTRACT Endometriosis is a commonly encountered benign gynecological disease, involving extrauterine growth of both endometrial glands and elements of endometrial stroma. Like ectopic endometrial tissue, these ectopic foci are susceptive to cyclic hormonal changes. A case of endometriosis infiltrating the Bartholin gland is presented. The initial diagnosis was a Bartholin gland cyst. The clinical diagnosis was made during the operation when chocolate-colored material poured into operation field, and histopathologic examination confirmed the presence of endometriosis. Bartholin gland endometriosis should be kept in mind when women of reproductive age have a diagnosis of Bartholin cyst. It is a rare case and only few cases are reported in the literature.

Uterine leiomyomas are one of the most common tumors found in women of reproductive age. Leiomyoma is usually derived from uterine smooth muscle but sometimes it may arise from an unusual site, have rarely been reported in this age group.In this present case, vaginal fibroid caused clinical dilema. Here, we report the rare case of a leiomyoma in a 27-years married, nuliparous lady; presented with dyspareunea and rectal pain treated by myomectomy. The treatment of the symptomatic fibroid is either myomectomy or hysterectomy1. A liomyoma was located in rectovaginal septum and , at the junction middle and lower one third of vagina and above the anal canal, separate from the uterus. Histopathological examination confirmed as a case of leiomyoma.Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2013; Vol. 28(1) : 44-46

Uterine leiomyomas are the most common pelvic benign tumours affecting women of reproductive age group. Parasitic leiomyoma is a type of leiomyoma which has been completely detached from uterus and is having independent blood supply from nearby structures, it’s attached with. Parasitic leiomyoma is regarded as a sub-type of subserosal fibroid by some authors. While others consider it as a complication of uterine procedures being performed for some type of uterine pathology. Here we are reporting a rare case of primary parasitic leiomyoma with concurrent multiple uterine leiomyomas that were managed by laparoscopic myomectomy. They create clinical dilemma due to their tendency to mimic as other pelvic tumours. So parasitic fibroids must be kept in the differential diagnosis of every case of abdominopelvic mass. Finally, it can be a rare complication of morcellation procedure performed for myoma retrieval and hence caution should exercise during such procedures.

Pneumopericardium is a rare entity and is usually reported as a complication of trauma [1].We are reporting a rare case of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) coexisting with sputum positive miliary tuberculosis presenting with pneumopericardium. LAM is a rare lung disease of unknown etiology, exclusively affecting women of reproductive age group and is characterised by proliferation and infiltration of pulmonary interstitium with atypical smooth muscle cell. LAM causes pleural complications especially pneumothorax and chylothorax, but it has not been reported to cause pneumopericardium. However pulmonary tuberculosis is known to cause pneumopericardium but coexistence of LAM with Pulmonary tuberculosis is a rare presentation.
