The Differential Diagnosis of Abdominal Mass: A Case of Uterine Leiomyoma.

The most common benign neoplastic uterine tumors that grow monoclonally from the smooth muscle cells of the uterus are uterine fibroids or leiomyomas, which may occur as a single lesion or as multiple lesions with variation in size from microscopic to large macroscopic extent. The majority are diagnosed in the preclinical routine reliably, despite challenges due to the possibility of multiple differential diagnoses. Hence, this report highlights a case of a postmenopausal female of 53-year-old working as a staff nurse at the same hospital and who visited the outpatient department of obstetrics and gynecology with chief complaints of pain in the right side of the abdomen for four hours (presentation similar to that of appendicitis).

Encysted Peritoneal Tuberculosis Masquerading as Ovarian Tumour: A Case Report.

Peritoneal tuberculosis (TB) is one of the types of extrapulmonary TB that predominantly involves the omentum, liver, intestinal tract, spleen, or female genital tract. It can occasionally result in gynecological-related oncology diagnoses such as advanced ovarian cancer due to its non-specific signs and symptoms, making it very difficult to detect. This report presents a case of a 22-year-old female who presented with the chief complaints of pain and distension of the abdomen for one month with dysuria.

Invasive Mole Mimicking Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: A Case Report.

Invasive mole (IM) is a very uncommon subtype of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD), which is the invasion of molar tissue into the uterine or myometrial vasculature. However, this report presents a rare case of a 41-year-old female multiparous P7 with five full-term normal vaginal deliveries and two preterm normal vaginal deliveries. As the patient was not using contraception, her urine pregnancy test (UPT) was done, which demonstrated positive results.

Analysis of Prophylactic Salpingo-oophorectomy at the Time of Hysterectomy for Benign Lesions.

Background: Prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy refers to the removal of clinically normal ovaries at the time of hysterectomy for benign lesions, to reduce the risk of ovarian and breast cancer in future. This risk reduction holds true for high-risk women, i.e.

Anaphylactoid reaction after use of intracervical dinoprostone gel.

Anaphylactic-like reaction or anaphylactoid reaction resembles generalized anaphylaxis but is not caused by immunoglobulin E-mediated allergic reaction. This reaction is caused by a non-immunologic mechanism even after first exposure to antigen. Prostaglandin E2 (dinoprostone) gel is commonly used for pre-induction cervical ripening.

Designing the objective structured clinical examination to cover all major areas of physical medicine and rehabilitation over 3 yrs.

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requires that training programs comprehensively evaluate residents in the six core Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education competencies. One of the ways we do this in our residency is by administering a nine-station Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) at the end of each year, which evaluates tasks such as history taking, focused physical examination, communication, professionalism, procedural skills, management, prescription writing, and understanding systems-based practice. We have classified our OSCE stations into what we consider key areas in our field and assessed these on a rotating basis over 3 yrs.

Rare case of live birth in a ruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy.

Pregnancy in the rudimentary horn is a very rare condition. In these cases, rupture of the rudimentary horn in the second trimester with fetal death and catastrophic intraperitoneal hemorrhage is the commonly reported outcome. Silent rupture of the rudimentary horn and continuation of pregnancy as a secondary abdominal pregnancy is the most unusual outcome of this rare condition.
