92, 95 % Confidence Interval CI (1.08-22.45) p = 0.040; OR 5.17, 95 % CI (1.07-25.05) p = 0.041, respectively). Laterality and preoperative CA 125 levels were not associated with misdiagnosis. CONCLUSION Tumor size less then 10 cm is associated with misdiagnosis in mucinous BOTs. Laterality and CA 125 levels do not affect diagnostic accuracy. The evaluation of FS by gynecologic pathologists can help to increase the accuracy of FS. Leiomyomas are mostly located in the uterus.Retroperitoneal presentation of leiomyomas are rare and have a greater diagnostic challenge.Because retroperinoteal tumours are quite rare and mostly malignant. Therefore, differantial diagnosis is difficult.We report a rare case of retroperitoneal leiomyomatosis, in which there were concurrent leiomyomas in uterus, pelvic and paraaortic regions that are adjacent to pelvic and paraaortic vascular structures.The patient underwent type 1 hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and had a total excision of the myomas from adjacent structures. Histological examination of the surgical specimen revealed that leiomyoma. She has been disease -free for 24 months now. Post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) is a major cause of maternal mortality, according to the WHO. Early PPH occurs in 5% to 15% of births. Omilancor mouse In 80% of cases, uterine atonia is the cause. We describe a case of uterine necrosis following uterine artery embolization (UAE). due to PPH. The patient was a 37-year-old woman who had a normal delivery after her second pregnancy, but experienced haemorrhage due to uterine atonia that failed to respond to drugs. She underwent UAE with Spongostan® with no complications. The peri-partum period was normal. At 16 days, she consulted due to recurrence of fever. Magnetic resonance imaging confirm the diagnosis of uterine necrosis. Abdominal hysterectomy was performed. BACKGROUND Uterine leiomyoma are implicated in certain adverse pregnancy related outcomes such as postpartum hemorrhage. Large submucosal leiomyoma defined as greater than 5 cm, may have higher complication rates; however, high quality data is limited. CASE A 44-year-old gravida 4 with history of two full-term vaginal deliveries presented at 40 and 2/7 weeks of gestation with premature rupture of membranes and delivered vaginally a viable female infant complicated by a postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony. During a manual uterine sweep for suspected retained products of conception, a submucosal leiomyoma was incidentally extracted. Uterine hemorrhage immediately ensued, requiring vasopressors, blood transfusion, and intensive care unit admission. Hemostasis was ultimately achieved with placement of a Bakri balloon. CONCLUSION This case reaffirms the association of large (greater than five centimeters) submucosal leiomyoma with severe postpartum hemorrhage. Caution should be taken with patients who have leiomyoma with these characteristics. The use of balloon tamponade in such situations may aid in hemostasis and avoidance of postpartum hysterectomy. OBJECTIVE To identify the risk factors associated with dysmenorrhea in adenomyosis and to discuss the potential hormone-based understanding of pain mechanisms. STUDY DESIGN Adenomyosis patients with mild or no dysmenorrhea (n = 40, Group 1) and moderate-to-severe dysmenorrhea (n = 80, Group 2) were recruited. Charts of all patients were recorded. An immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis was performed to detect the cellular levels of estrogen receptor-α (ER-α), estrogen receptor-β (ER-β), gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRH-R), and neurofilaments (NFs) in 60 cases. RESULTS A history of cesarean section (CS) was positively related to the degree of dysmenorrhea in adenomyosis (OR (95% CI) 4.397 (1.371-14.104)). The ER-α levels in the eutopic endometrium (EUE) of Group 2 were higher than those in the ectopic endometrium (ECE) of Group 1. Group 2 had higher NF levels in the ECE than in the EUE. CONCLUSION A history of CS is a risk factor for adenomyosis with moderate-to-severe dysmenorrhea. For patients with adenomyosis, high ER-α levels in the EUE and high NF levels in the ECE may be related to moderate-to-severe dysmenorrhea. These hormone-based mechanisms may contribute to our understanding of the pathogenesis of dysmenorrhea in adenomyosis. OBJECTIVE Pregnancy associated breast cancer (PABC) are defined as breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy and during the year following delivery. The prediction of poor prognosis events (PPE) such as recurrence is a major medical challenge of management for women with PABC. The aim of this study was to build a nomogram based on selected clinical and histological variables to predict recurrence. STUDY DESIGN This retrospective study included 96 patients with PABC from January 2002 to January 2018. A multivariate Cox analysis of selected risk factors was performed and a nomogram to predict recurrence was built. The nomogram was internally validated. RESULTS The overall recurrence rate was 22% (21/95) and the 3-years recurrence rate was 13% (12/95). Age at diagnosis, histological type, immuno-histological class, tumor stage (TNM), node stage (TNM) were associated with PPE in univariate analysis, and were included in the final Cox model to develop the nomogram. The predictive model had a concordance index of 0.83 (95% Confidence Interval (CI), 0.81-0.85) and 0.78 (95% CI, 0.76-0.80) before and after the 200 repetitions of bootstrap sample corrections, respectively, and showed a good calibration. CONCLUSION Our results support the use of the present nomogram based on 5 clinical and pathological characteristics to predict PPE in PABC with a high concordance. External validation is required to recommend this nomogram in routine practice. OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of conservative treatment for the management of non-tubal ectopic pregnancies (NTEP) METHODS Retrospective cohort study in three centers (two referral centers) of patients managed for NTEP diagnosed by 2D or 3D ultrasonograhy. Patients underwent one of the following expectant management, systemic methotrexate (MTX) injection, local MTX injection, combined MTX injection (local and systemic), local injection of hyperosmolar glucose, or misoprostol administration. The primary endpoint was final success defined by resolution of hCG level without need for emergency surgical treatment. Sixty-four patients diagnosed with NTEP were included 37 (57%) had an interstitial pregnancy, 23 (35.9%) a cesarean scar pregnancy, two (3.1%) a cervical pregnancy and two (3.1%) an ovarian pregnancy. RESULTS Six patients (9.4%) underwent expectant management, 24 (37.5%) a systemic MTX injection, 28 (43.8%) a local injection of MTX, three (4.7%) a combined MTX injection, one (1.6%) a local injection of hyperosmolar glucose (1.
