History Of

Paratubal cysts are fluid-filled sacs that grow adjacent to the fallopian tube which can rarely result in torsion. Isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) is a gynaecological emergency that warrants urgent laparoscopic detorsion to salvage the affected tube. IFTT has a proclivity to affect adolescents between the ages of 12 and 15 years and is rarely seen in premenarchal or perimenopausal women. Due to a lack of pathognomonical features, IFTT is difficult to diagnose. Adnexal torsion, including IFTT is a surgical diagnosis and no clinical or imaging criteria is sufficient to diagnose IFTT. Urgent laparoscopy and detorsion are required for preservation of the affected fallopian tube. However, given the diagnostic ambiguity, IFTT diagnosis is often delayed. IFTT should be included in the differential diagnoses for adolescent patients with acute abdomen when imaging demonstrates a normal appendix and ovaries. We report a 15-year-old girl with a 4-day history of abdominopelvic pain and bilateral paratubal cysts resulting in right IFTT.

A 68-year-old woman presented with a three-week history of confusion and anomic aphasia. Imaging of her head demonstrated a single large left frontal mass. Pathology revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma of Müllerian origin. Subsequent surgery revealed a small primary site in a fallopian tube, high left para-aortic lymphadenopathy, and no disseminated intraperitoneal disease. This case was remarkable in that CNS metastasis was her presenting symptom and was restricted to a solitary brain lesion, and other disease sites were limited to retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy and a small fallopian tube primary.

Background. The incidence of unilateral twin ectopic pregnancy is a rare condition. Several factors increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy, the most important of which is pelvic inflammatory disease, followed by operative trauma, congenital anomalies, tumors, and adhesions resulting in anatomically distorted fallopian tubes. We present a case of a woman with a history of four confirmed sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, herpes simplex virus 2, and Treponema pallidum. The case illustrates the potential impact of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) on the risk of a twin ectopic pregnancy. Case. A 24-year-old primigravida, presented with an unknown last menstrual period, lower abdominal pain, watery vaginal discharge, and vaginal spotting. During this hospitalization, serumβ-HCG testing was 263 mIU/mL and transvaginal ultrasonographic examination suggested a nonviable unilateral twin ectopic pregnancy. At exploratory laparotomy, a 10 cm mass involving the right fallopian tube and ovary was excised. Pathological evaluation of the specimen identified a monochorionic, diamnionic twin ectopic pregnancy within the fallopian tube. Conclusions Patients with a history of multiple (STIs) are known to be at risk for the development of chronic pelvic infection and postinflammatory scarring. The resulting distortion of the normal tubal anatomy leads to an increased risk of an uncommon presentation of ectopic pregnancy.

Bowel Herniation

Herniation through a defect of the uterine broad ligament is a rare internal hernia that is difficult to diagnose definitively. Common hernia contents contain ileal loops. Herein, we report a rare case of internal herniation of both the ileum and fallopian tube through a defect of the broad ligament. A 52-year-old woman presented to our hospital with suprapubic pain and vomiting. She had a history of bowel obstruction following cesarean section. On abdominopelvic computed tomography, we suspected a closed-loop obstruction associated with bowel herniation in the right broad ligament. However, we could not identify an area of poor enhancement adjacent to distended small intestines. Emergency laparoscopic exploration revealed a viable ileal loop and incarcerated organ. Therefore, we switched to laparotomy that revealed the right fallopian tube as the ischemic organ. We reduced the hernia, resected necrotic right fallopian tube, and closed the defect of the broad ligament. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course. Rare hernia contents might complicate preoperative clinical diagnosis. Laparoscopy is useful for establishing a definitive diagnosis and treating broad ligament hernias.

The Right

A 19-year-old young woman was admitted to our Unit for irregular menstrual cycles within 40- to 60-day intervals for 7 months. She had no history of abdomino-pelvic surgery or acute pelvic pain. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging revealed a right ovarian mass (Figure1A & B), measuring 6.0 cm X 5.1 cm X 5.0 cm. The patient underwent laparoscopy. At the laparoscopic examination, we evidenced a right ovarian teratoma about 6.0 cm X 6.0 cm and a small mesosalpinx cyst about 2.5 cm X 2.0 cm on the right fallopian tube (Figure 2A). On the left, neither fallopian tube nor ovary was detected (Figure 2B). We performed laparoscopic cystectomy and sutured residual ovarian tissues for hemostasis. Subsequent urinary ultrasonography demonstrated a normal urinary tract without any congenital anomaly. The pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of mature teratoma and right mesosalpinx serous cyst. The patient was successfully discharged at the third day with no complications.

The Impact

Purpose The purposes of this study were to estimate the reduction in risk of ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer in women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation after oophorectomy, by age of oophorectomy; to estimate the impact of prophylactic oophorectomy on all-cause mortality; and to estimate 5-year survival associated with clinically detected ovarian, occult, and peritoneal cancers diagnosed in the cohort. Patients and Methods Women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation were identified from an international registry; 5,783 women completed a baseline questionnaire and ≥ one follow-up questionnaires. Women were observed until either diagnosis of ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer, death, or date of most recent follow-up. Hazard ratios (HRs) for cancer incidence and all-cause mortality associated with oophorectomy were evaluated using time-dependent survival analyses. Results After an average follow-up period of 5.6 years, 186 women developed either ovarian (n = 132), fallopian (n = 22), or peritoneal (n = 32) cancer, of whom 68 have died. HR for ovarian, fallopian, or peritoneal cancer associated with bilateral oophorectomy was 0.20 (95% CI, 0.13 to 0.30; P < .001). Among women who had no history of cancer at baseline, HR for all-cause mortality to age 70 years associated with an oophorectomy was 0.23 (95% CI, 0.13 to 0.39; P < .001). Conclusion Preventive oophorectomy was associated with an 80% reduction in the risk of ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer in BRCA1 or BRCA2 carriers and a 77% reduction in all-cause mortality.

The author having, in the first series of these researches, investigated the formation of the mammiferous ovum, describes in this second series its incipient developement. The knowledge at present supposed to be possessed of the early stages in the developement of that ovum, consists chiefly of inferences from observations made on the ovum of the bird. But there exists a period in the history of the ovum of the mammal regarding which we have hitherto scarcely any direct or positive knowledge. It appeared, therefore, highly desirable to obtain a series of observations in continuous succession on the earliest stages of developement. In conducting this investigation, the author purposely confined his attention to a single species, namely, the rabbit, of which he examined more than a hundred individual animals. Besides ova met with in the ovary, apparently impregnated, and destined to be discharged from that organ, he has seen upwards of three hundred ova in the Fallopian tube and uterus; very few of the latter exceeding half a line in their diameter. The results of these investigations have compelled the author to express his dissent from some of the leading doctrines of embryology, which at present prevail, as respects not only the class Mammalia, but the animal kingdom at large. The following are the principal facts which the author has observed in the developement of the mammiferous ovum.
