Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pipelle endometrial biopsy in diagnosing ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancers, areas where its utility had not been previously assessed.
- A total of 90 patients with these cancers underwent the biopsy, and the results were analyzed for sensitivity, false-negative rates, and impact on treatment decisions.
- The findings showed that the biopsy had low sensitivity (27.8% overall) and was more effective in advanced disease stages, highlighting its potential to aid in early diagnoses and guide treatment for patients.
Introduction And Importance: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from mature cystic teratoma of the ovary (MCT-SCC) has a poor prognosis at advanced stages. Although the relationship between homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and platinum-based chemotherapy sensitivity or poly (ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor efficacy in epithelial ovarian cancer has been demonstrated in clinical trials, the significance of HRD status in MCT-SCC has not previously been described.
Case Presentation: A 73-year-old woman underwent emergency laparotomy due to ovarian tumor rupture.
Ectopic pregnancy following oral levonorgestrel emergency contraception use.

Levonorgestrel is used worldwide as an emergency oral contraceptive. There have been occasional reports of ectopic pregnancy after oral levonorgestrel use. We present a case of ectopic tubal pregnancy after the use of oral levonorgestrel as an emergency contraceptive in a 37-year-old woman with a history of treatment for Chlamydia trachomatis infection.
