Fetiform teratoma, another name for homunculus, is a rare form of mature teratoma that is highly differentiated and has parts that resemble a malformed fetus. We reported a case of ovarian Fetiform teratoma in a 38 years old nulliparous woman presented with right side abdominal distention of 10 years duration. An ultrasound revealed a heterogeneous pelvic cystic mass that ranged in appearance from fully hyperechoic to fully hypoechoic, suggesting mature cystic teratoma.

It is well known that two permanent magnets of fixed orientation will either always repel or attract one another regardless of the distance between them. However, if one magnet is rotated at sufficient speed, a stable position at a given equilibrium distance can exist for a second free magnet. The equilibrium is produced by magnetic forces alone, which are strong enough to maintain a levitating state under gravity.

  • Malaria remains a significant public health issue, especially in African countries, leading to severe complications such as hemorrhagic strokes in some cases.

Background: Abdominal cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is characterized by severe, mostly refractory, chronic pain due to the entrapment of the cutaneous branches of the lower torso intercostal nerves at the lateral edge of the rectus abdominis muscle. ACNES is rare compared to other pregnancy-related peripheral neuropathies and is often overlooked as a differential diagnosis for abdominal pain, despite the diagnosis relying primarily on patient history and physical examination. Emergency physicians and other medical personnel's lack of exposure to such cases results in unnecessary laboratory requests, repeated visits, and increased fear and tension for the patient.
