Swyer syndrome is a disorder of sexual differentiation with an incidence of 1 in 80,000 population. Dysgenetic gonads have a propensity for malignant transformation particularly in the presence of Y chromosome and hence need prophylactic removal. We report a case of an adolescent girl who presented with primary amenorrhea who was identified as a case of 46 XY dysgenesis after karyotype studies. Extirpation of gonads were done laparoscopically and on histopathological assessment gonadoblastoma was detected. This case report aims to reiterate the importance of gonadectomy in patients with swyer syndrome as tumors could arise even in the absence of frank adnexal masses.

ABSTRACT Gastric diverticulum is an extremely rare surgical condition. Most patients are asymptomatic, hence, the diagnosis is more often incidentally made than otherwise. They are usually congenital, solitary and are located on posterior wall and the lesser curvature. Patients presenting are usually between 20 and 50 years of age. Gastric diverticula harbor risk of the same complications as diverticula elsewhere in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, such as bleeding, diverticulitis, obstruction, perforation, ectopic tissue, and malignant transformation. We present a rare case of a 48-year-old female with gastric diverticula in the posterior wall of fundus of stomach with gallstone disease which was managed surgically and a brief review of literature.

ABSTRACT Up to a quarter of ovarian masses originate from germ cells and many of these are mature cystic teratomas (MCT). The secondary development of malignancy is a rare but well-known phenomenon in patient with ovarian teratomas. The incidence of malignant transformation in mature cystic teratoma of the ovary is less than 2% as reported in gynecological and pathological literature. Here, we present a case of malignant transformation in MCT of the ovary.
