- Osseous tissue in the endometrium is rare and often linked to infertility, dysmenorrhea, and abnormal bleeding, with unclear causes.
- A unique case involved a 27-year-old woman with primary infertility, where a hyperechoic endometrial mass was found and surgically removed, revealing endometrial calcification.
- After the procedure, the patient experienced a successful pregnancy three years later, suggesting that the removal of the calcification might help resolve infertility issues, while the underlying cause of the osseous metaplasia remained unknown.
Article Synopsis
- Myocytic tumors of the uterus exhibit diverse forms, necessitating careful differential diagnosis to distinguish between different types.
- The study conducted a 5-year retrospective analysis, incorporating immunohistochemical evaluations and genetic testing to explore potential therapeutic insights into these tumors.
- Findings revealed significant links between genetic alterations (like PTEN deletion) and tumor characteristics, emphasizing the need for precise diagnosis to enhance patient care and quality of life.
Taking into account the unpredictable evolution of uterine STUMP and leiomyosarcomas, there are no clearly established therapeutic protocols to date, the only certified treatment being total hysterectomy. We performed a 5-year retrospective study including cases of malignant tumors and those with uncertain malignant potential originating in the smooth muscle tissue of the uterine body. The clinical data, pathological aspects, and the immunohistochemical results were statistically analyzed using SPSS Statistics Version 26.

- A pregnant woman in her third trimester was admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain and fluid buildup, where she was monitored for biochemical changes and fetal health.
- During her stay, she tested positive for syphilis, and her condition deteriorated, leading to acute fetal distress.
- Ultimately, she underwent an emergency Caesarean section, revealing a rare case of hemoperitoneum due to a posttraumatic splenic rupture, highlighting the unusual combination of pregnancy complications in this scenario.
