Article Synopsis
  • - The occurrence of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in females of reproductive age is uncommon, accounting for about 1-2% of all pregnancies, with only 20% of those resulting in rupture.
  • - Ovarian torsion occurs in 2-5% of cases, with dermoid cysts present in roughly 25% of those torsion cases, making the simultaneous presentation of both conditions significantly rare.
  • - A case study of a 32-year-old woman revealed she suffered from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and right ovarian torsion with a dermoid cyst, among other issues, necessitating emergency surgical intervention for her survival.

A focal serous tubal intraepithelial lesion (STIL) is a rare lesion found on fallopian tubes that are characterized by atypical epithelial cells exhibiting morphological abnormalities with the accumulation of mutant p53 proteins. The p53 gene is a tumor suppressor gene, and when mutated gives rise to mutant p53 proteins that promote cancer cell growth and survival. We present a case of a 47-year-old gravida 2, para 2002 (G2P2) female who presented to the outpatient clinic with bilateral lower quadrant abdominal pain and back pain of four years' duration.

Current research suggests COVID-19 in pregnancy is associated with poor maternal and fetal outcomes, although the exact mechanisms remain unclear, and the approach to the management of affected patients presents a distinct challenge to clinicians. We present a case of gestational hypertension, eclampsia, and postpartum depression in a 39-year-old gravida 4, para 0030 (G4P0) pregnant patient following multiple prenatal severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. After a case of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) during her first trimester, the patient received a two-dose mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2.
