Acute non peurperal uterine inversion caused by leiomyma associated with precancerous lesions: a case report.
Ann Med Surg (Lond)
November 2024
Gynagologist Damascus University, Faculty of Medicine, Gynagology and Obstetric Department, Damascus, Damascus Governorate, Syria.
Article Synopsis
- - Acute nonpuerperal uterine inversion (Acute NPUI) is a rare condition often linked to uterine tumors like leiomyomas, particularly when accompanied by precancerous lesions, which is quite unusual
- - A case study highlights a 65-year-old woman with acute NPUI resulting from a prolapsed fibroid, where examinations revealed a painful hemorrhagic mass and difficulty in assessing the uterus
- - Prompt intervention involved manually repositioning the uterus followed by a total hysterectomy; pathological findings revealed a leiomyoma with atypical hyperplasia, emphasizing the need for swift action and thorough pathological analysis in NPUI cases
A retrospective study evaluating outcomes of surgical excision versus radiologic follow-up of benign breast papillomas without atypia.
Am J Surg
September 2022
Faculty of Medicine, McGill University, Montreal. 3605 Rue de la Montagne Décarie, Montreal, Quebec, H3G 2M1, Canada; Cedars Breast Clinic, McGill University Health Centre, 1001 Boulevard Décarie, Montreal, Quebec, H4A 3J1, Canada; Division of General Surgery, Department of Surgery, McGill University Health Centre, 1001 Boulevard Décarie, Montreal, Quebec, H4A 3J1, Canada. Electronic address:
Background: There is uncertainty whether benign breast papillomas without atypia (BP) can be followed by imaging or require surgical resection.
Methods: A single-center, retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with BP (2011-2021) to determine the upgrade rate on surgery, and factors associated with surgical intervention and upgrade.
Results: 139 BPs were included.
Brain Atrophy Associated with Primary Diffuse Meningeal Melanomatosis.
World Neurosurg
April 2020
The First Medical Center of Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Primary meningeal melanomatosis is a rare leptomeningeal tumor, and the diagnosis is challenging due to nonspecific clinical symptoms and radiologic findings.
Case Description: A 21-year-old man presented with recurrent seizure and impaired memory. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging showed obvious brain atrophy with bilateral extensive meningeal enhancement in the supratentorial region.
Extrapleural solitary fibrous tumor: A distinct entity from pleural solitary fibrous tumor. An update on clinical, molecular and diagnostic features.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm that was originally described to be localized in the pleura, but thereafter, this has been reported in several anatomic sites. Although the etiology of the neoplasm remains largely unknown, the pathogenesis seems to be related to an NAB2-STAT6 fusion gene due to paracentric inversion on chromosome 12q13. The diagnosis of extrapleural SFT is challenging, owing to its rarity, and requires an integrated approach that includes specific clinical, histological, immunohistochemical, and even molecular findings.

Background: Accurate tissue sampling in nonenhancing (NE) gliomas is a unique surgical challenge due to their intratumoral histological heterogeneity and absence of contrast enhancement as a guide for intraoperative stereotactic guidance. Instead, T2/fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) hyperintensity on MRI is commonly used as an imaging surrogate for pathological tissue, but sampling from this region can yield nondiagnostic or underdiagnostic brain tissue. Sodium fluorescein is an intraoperative fluorescent dye that has a high predictive value for tumor identification in areas of contrast enhancement and NE in glioblastomas.
