Uterine Sarcomas: Are There MRI Signs Predictive of Histopathological Diagnosis? A 50-Patient Case Series with Pathological Correlation.

Purpose: To make clear distinction between two radiological types of uterine sarcomas.

Methods: 50 preoperative MRI were analyzed retrospectively, blinded to histopathology: 11 endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESS), 19 leiomyosarcomas (LMS), 18 carcinosarcomas/malignant mixed Mullerian tumors (MMMT), and 2 smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP).

Results: According to their locations, two radiological types of sarcomas were identified: type 1: intracavitary (ESS, MMMT) and type 2: intramyometrial (LMS, STUMP).

Case series of outcomes of a standardized surgical approach for placenta percreta for prevention of ureteral lesions.

Objective: To report the outcomes of women with placenta percreta who were surgically treated by a specialized technique based on gynecologic oncology experience, and to demonstrate its safety in preventing ureteral lesions and reducing blood loss.

Methods: In the present retrospective study, data from patients with placenta percreta radically treated at Hôtel-Dieu de France, Beirut, Lebanon, between December 2012 and January 2017 were reviewed. Demographic, pathology, and delivery data, medical history, per-operative and postoperative information, and neonatal data were assessed.

Breast Density and Breast Cancer Incidence in the Lebanese Population: Results from a Retrospective Multicenter Study.

Purpose: To study the distribution of breast mammogram density in Lebanese women and correlate it with breast cancer (BC) incidence.

Methods: Data from 1,049 women who had screening or diagnostic mammography were retrospectively reviewed. Age, menopausal status, contraceptives or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT), parity, breastfeeding, history of BC, breast mammogram density, and final BI-RADS assessment were collected.

[Laparoscopic treatment of vaginal agenesis: three cases].

Background: Ninety per cent of cases of congenital vaginal agenesis are represented by the Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, the remaining 10% being represented by the testicular feminization syndrome and vaginal aplasia. Numerous surgical methods for the treatment of vaginal agenesis have been described. Neovagina construction by sigmoid colpoplasty seems to be the best surgical option as regards the anatomical and functional outcome.

Ultrasound as an adjunct to radiography in minor musculoskeletal pediatric trauma.

Purpose: To assess the value of ultrasound as an adjunct to radiography in minor musculoskeletal pediatric trauma.

Methods: Fifty children with 53 suspected fractures were referred for upper and/or lower limbs X-rays, followed by ultrasound. On radiography, we noted presence of fracture, of soft tissue thickening, or absence of any lesion.
