Endometrial carcinoma associated with pregnancy is uncommon. In case 1, a 40-year-old gravida 2, para 2, was diagnosed with focal well-differentiated papillary adenocarcinoma 4 months postpartum. In case 2, a 35-year-old gravida 1, para 0, was diagnosed with a well-differentiated papillary adenocarcinoma of the endometrium after a D&C for an incomplete abortion at 7 weeks gestation. In case 3, a 32-year-old gravida 2, para 1, was diagnosed with a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma with squamous metaplasia 4 months postpartum. All are without evidence of disease more than 2 years after therapy. A literature review shows 24 previous cases of pregnancy associated with endometrial cancer. These cases demonstrate the importance of endometrial sampling for abnormal postpartum bleeding despite the protective effects of pregnancy.

Retroperitoneal teratomas are rare neoplasms in neonates, presenting with nonspecific symptoms and variable clinical features, making diagnosis challenging. Radiological investigations, particularly fetal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography, play a critical role in their detection. Differential diagnoses include neuroblastoma, adrenal hemorrhage, and congenital cystic lesions, which share overlapping clinical and imaging features.

Fetal limb anomaly presentation varies greatly. It can present as amelia (complete absence of skeletal part of one or more limb), meromelia (partial absence of skeletal part of one or more limb), phocomelia (only rudimentary limb formed), and minor limb disorders like polydactyly. The complete absence of the four fetal limbs is extremely rare.

Distinguishing anti-D, anti- C, and anti-G specificities is particularly essential in antenatal cases to ensure proper patient management. The clinical management as well as Rh immune globulin (RhIG) prophylaxis depend on the accurate identification of these distinct antibodies. D- pregnant women with anti-G, but without anti-D, in their serum need RhIG prophylaxis at 28 weeks of gestation, at delivery if the infant is D+, and when clinically indicated to prevent the formation of anti-D and potential hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN).
