This study aimed at determining the rate of non-diagnosis in suspected lesions and reviewing the management challenges of ovarian tumours highly suspicious for malignancy in our hospital.
Methodology: A three-year retrospective review of patients' records from the ward, clinic, theatre, and histopathology laboratory was carried out.
Article Synopsis
- - Fibro-epithelial polyps (FEPs), commonly known as skin tags, are benign tumors mostly seen in women of reproductive age, though they can appear in the vulva and vary in size and shape.
- - A case study highlighted a 30-year-old woman who had a large, irregular FEP on her vulva measuring 25 cm, which developed over seven months and featured areas of skin ulceration, raising concern for malignancy.
- - After an excisional biopsy confirmed the mass as an inflamed FEP, the patient showed no recurrence at follow-up, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis and surgical treatment to differentiate between benign and potentially malignant growths.
Ovarian endometrioma is quite common among women of reproductive age but rarely exceed 6 cm in diameter. Ovarian endometrioma exceeding 10 cm in dimension, often referred to as giant endometrioma, is rare and can pose a diagnostic dilemma to clinicians. We present a 33-year-old single nullipara referred to our facility with a 3-year history of recurrent abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, and difficulty in breathing.

Women living with HIV infection are at a higher risk of developing cervical cancer than HIV negative women.
Objective: The study sought to assess the awareness of cervical cancer and screening services among women living with HIV in a HIV treatment centre.
