Spontaneous Hemoperitoneum Due to Ruptured Uterine Artery: A Rare Complication During Pregnancy.

Spontaneous rupture of the uterine artery is a rare and life-threatening cause of hemoperitoneum in pregnancy, associated with high maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. We present a case of a 29-year-old woman, in the 36th week of gestation, with acute abdomen due to hemoperitoneum. Ultrasound revealed free fluid in the abdominal cavity, with no signs of fetal distress, and the patient was mildly hypotensive.

Interstitial Ectopic Pregnancy: A Rare Diagnosis.

An ectopic pregnancy is located outside the uterus, mostly found in the fallopian tubes. The main predisposing factors are usually related to anatomical and/or functional disturbances of the fallopian tubes. Typically, an ectopic pregnancy presents with vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain in the first trimester of pregnancy, although it may be asymptomatic.

A Metastatic Invasive Mole in a Perimenopausal Woman: A Rare Case.

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) represents a heterogeneous group of pregnancy-related tumors that usually develop from the malignant transformation of trophoblastic tissue after molar evacuation. The first presentation as an invasive mole is particularly rare. GTN is considered the most curable gynecological malignancy as most cases are treated successfully with chemotherapy agents.

Functional status and mortality in older women with gynecological cancer.

Background: Screening tools for the identification of vulnerable older patients with cancer are needed. Aim of this study is to measure the prognostic value of multiple screening tools for the assessment of mortality risk in oncogeriatrics.

Methods: The prognostic value of the following assessment tools was tested in 200 older women with gynecological cancer (mean age = 73.
