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.

BACKGROUND Gestational trophoblastic diseases have varying clinical presentations with certain diagnostic signs and symptoms. A strong correlation between gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTD) and a previous history of dilation & evacuation (D & E) has been documented in the limited available literature. We wanted to study the spectrum of gestational trophoblastic disease secondary to dilation & evacuation. METHODS A two-year study including all the females who were admitted to MMIMSR Hospital in view of suspicion of gestational trophoblastic disease was conducted with all having a common history of dilatation and evacuation in the recent past. RESULTS Through the analysis we saw the spectrum of GTD including partial mole, complete mole, invasive mole and choriocarcinoma, as well as its complications in the form of arterio-venous malformation (AVM). CONCLUSIONS The two-year experience suggests that dilatation and curettage may predispose a female of reproductive age group to develop gestational trophoblastic disease in the future. Hence, a high index of suspicion is necessary for timely diagnosis and intervention. The study further helped us understand the wide spectrum of the disease and its associated complications.

Abstract Background: Pregnancy complications are the biggest health problem for women in developing countries. Around 295,000 women worldwide die each year from pregnancy-related causes, and 86% of this maternal mortality occurs in developing countries.Objective: To assess knowledge about obstetric hazard signs among women of reproductive age living in the southeastern zone of the Tigray region, Ethiopia, 2021.Methods: A community-based quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted in the southeastern zone of Tigray. A multi-level random sampling technique was implemented to select the total participants from 410 women of reproductive age. Two districts were selected at random and from these districts 12 Kebels were selected at random and the calculated sample size (410) was proportionally assigned to each Kebele selected. The data was collected through face-to-face / interview with a structured questionnaire from January 20 to February 20, 2021, after it had been ensured that all ethical requirements were met. The collected data was entered into Epidata version 4.2 and then exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Descriptive statistics with frequency, percentage, table and graph as well as crosstabs were used to present the results. Bivariate and multivariable analyses were used to examine the relationship. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals and P-values ​​<0.05 were used to determine the statistical association.Result: Four hundred and ten women of childbearing age participated in the study, which resulted in a response rate of 100%. Leakage of fluid per vagina was the most frequently cited obstetric hazard sign (61%). Overall, one hundred and seventy-two (42%) had a good knowledge of obstetric hazard signs. Educational status of the mother [AOR (95% CI = 2.7 (1.189–6.24)], place of birth [AOR (95% CI = 2.2 (1.6–3.432)] and with a history of ANC follow-up [AOR (95% CI = 2.4 (1.13–5.6)] were found to be independent predictors of women's knowledge of the obstetric hazard sign.Conclusion and recommendation: The mother's educational status, birth site and the history of ANC follow-up were independently related to the women's knowledge of obstetric hazard signs. Therefore, the provision of information, education and communication to women, families and the general community about obstetric hazard signs and related factors has been recommended.

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.

Introduction. Dysgerminomas are germ cell ovarian tumors. They affect young females, prevalently during childhood. The problem arises when dysgerminoma is diagnosed in women of reproductive age who have never given birth and require a surgical procedure. Case outline. A 28-year-old patient was admitted to hospital in week 26 of her first pregnancy. The reason for patient hospitalization was the growth of the isthmic myoma diagnosed by her obstetriciangynecologist in the primary care unit. By examining the medical history of the patient, the following was revealed: A year and a half before pregnancy she was diagnosed with left ovary dysgerminoma. The patient?s medical history led us to conclude that uterine myoma was a misdiagnosis and that the actual diagnosis was dysgerminoma of the right ovary. The surgery was performed after the fetal viability had been achieved. Conclusion. Malignant ovarian tumours may occur in young women during pregnancy and increase in size significantly in a short period of time, although their recurrence is not expected in such a short period of time after surgical treatment. This poses a great challenge for obstetricians.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.

According to modern literature, the frequency of preoperative diagnostic errors for tumour-like formations is 30.9–45.6%, for malignant ovarian tumors is 25.0–51.0%. The complexity of this situation is asymptomatic tumor in the ovaries and failure to identify a neoplastic process, which is especially important for young women, as well as ease the transition of tumors from one category to another (evolution of the tumor) and the source of the aggressive behavior of the tumor. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the history of concomitant gynecological pathology in a group of patients of reproductive age with ovarian tumors and tumoroid formations, as a predisposing factor for the development of neoplastic process in the ovaries. In our work, we collected and processed complaints and data of obstetric and gynecological anamnesis of 168 patients of reproductive age (18–40 years), operated on the basis of the Department of oncogynecology for tumors and ovarian tumours in the Samara Regional Clinical Oncology Dispensary from 2012 to 2015. We can conclude that since the prognosis of neoplastic process in the ovaries is generally good with timely detection and this disease occurs mainly in women of reproductive age, doctors need to know that when assessing the parity and the presence of gynecological pathology at the moment or in anamnesis, it is not possible to identify alarming risk factors for the development of cancer in the ovaries.

Fibroepithelial polyps are benign lesions that may appear in the vulvovaginal region. They usually occur in women of reproductive age and tend to grow up to 5 cm, but there are some rare cases in which they grow up to 20 cm. We report a case of a 22-year-old woman in the third trimester of her first pregnancy with spontaneous bleeding from a pedunculated mass measuring 15 cm in the widest diameter on the right side of the vulva. Features of this case are discussed as well as its implications, especially regarding the decision of labour. Due to the big size of the mass and its propensity to bleed, we decided to perform an elective caesarean section as well as its excision.

This is the fourteenth case of an intracranial and dural-based osteosarcoma in the literature to date. The case involves a forty-year old woman with a previous history of a brain tumour, which was treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy six years previously. The hypothesis is that this rare malignancy is secondary to the radiation exposure given the growth of the lesion in the previous radiation field
