Chronic Myeloid Leukemia During Pregnancy with Placental Involvement: Case Report and Literature Review.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) occurrence during pregnancy is unusual due to the low prevalence of the disease in women of childbearing age, with only three reported cases. The mother was diagnosed with CML with positive BCR-ABL gene fusion in her 32nd week of gestation. The placenta showed an increased population of myelocytes and segmented neutrophils in the intervillous space and features of maternal villous malperfusion (increased perivillous fibrinoid material and distal villous hypoplasia).

Recurrent arthritis as an unexpected side effect associated with azacitidine in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome.

Cholesterol granuloma mimicking ovarian cancer.

Cholesterol granuloma is a consequence of a chronic inflammatory reaction with accumulation of cholesterol crystals in the tissue. Ovarian cholesterol granuloma is rarely reported in the literature and can be misdiagnosed as ovarian cancer during surgery due to pelvic fibrosis and adhesion secondary to chronic inflammation, especially in postmenopausal women. We present a patient who had been referred to our gynecologic oncology clinic.
