This study aimed to explore the clinical characteristics of umbilical cord cysts (UCCs) detected from the second trimester onwards in a single tertiary center over a 22-year period. The subjects consisted of a total of 12 cases of UCCs among 11 pregnant women (10 singleton pregnancies and 1 twin pregnancy), diagnosed at ≥ 14 weeks of gestation, and managed at Kurume University Hospital from 2000 to 2021. The maternal backgrounds, characteristics of the cysts, including their location, numbers, sizes, associated fetal/neonatal findings, and outcomes, were analyzed retrospectively.

Methods: Twenty postpartum women (singleton births) were studied: 10 with cesarean and 10 with transvaginal deliveries. All cesarean cases were first operational delivery with lower uterine incision, repaired with double-layer suture.
Article Synopsis
- - Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is a benign breast condition that can look like breast cancer, and in this case, a pregnant woman experienced symptoms including a breast mass, severe foot pain, and erythema nodosum (EN) on her legs.
- - The 31-year-old Japanese woman faced walking difficulties due to the pain and swelling, and she was initially worried her breast mass could be cancer based on ultrasound results.
- - A biopsy confirmed GM instead of cancer, and treatment with oral prednisolone led to improvement in her arthritis and EN symptoms within two days.
Objective: To evaluate hemostatic efficacy, complications, and subsequent pregnancy outcomes in women with placenta previa who underwent combined vertical compression sutures in the lower uterine segment and intrauterine balloon tamponade (Hot-Dog method) to achieve hemostasis after cesarean section.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data for 117 women with singleton pregnancy diagnosed with placenta previa who underwent cesarean section between 29 and 38 weeks' gestation. Treatments were as follows: (1) conventional-intravenous oxytocin administration after placental detachment and suturing of bleeding points at the detachment site as needed (conventional group) (n = 47).
