Lymph Node Metastasis and Patterns of Recurrence in Vulvar Carcinoma: 10 Years' Single Center Experience.

Vulvar carcinoma is a relatively rare malignancy and there is a paucity of data, especially from India and other developing countries regarding the prognostic factors impacting recurrence and survival. A retrospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Gynecologic Oncology at a tertiary care, regional cancer institute, including all patients with carcinoma vulva who underwent surgery between 2009 and 2018. Demographic profile, surgical-pathological information, details of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy, and peri-operative complications were analyzed.

Management of vulvar lymphedema of filarial origin in a pregnant woman and its outcome: A case report.

Lymphedema of filarial origin affecting the vulva is extremely rare. It is a dilemma if seen in a pregnant woman as there are no guidelines regarding excision and the mode of delivery. With the World Health Organization-driven global program to eradicate filaria, it is unfortunate to see such cases.

Wilson's disease presenting during pregnancy: A diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma.

Wilson's disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder affecting copper transport leading to hepatic and/or neuropsychiatric manifestations. Changes in pregnancy can mimic certain clinical features of chronic liver disease such as spider naevi, and constraints for the use of various investigation for diagnosis pose a challenge to physicians. A high index of suspicion, multi-disciplinary team approach, use of correct non-invasive testing including viral serology, autoantibodies and copper studies and ultrasonography help to diagnose most of the pre-existing, de novo or pregnancy-specific hepatological conditions.
