Objective: To present a case of cervical ectopic pregnancy successfully treated with ultrasound-guided aspiration and single-dose methotrexate administered systemically.
Design: Case report.
Setting: University hospital.
Patient(s): A 27-year-old nulliparous woman with a cervical ectopic pregnancy.
Intervention(s): Transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration of the cervical ectopic pregnancy followed by single-dose methotrexate administered systemically.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Recovery of the patient, successful conservative treatment of the cervical ectopic pregnancy, with preservation of the uterus.
Result(s): The cervical ectopic pregnancy was successfully aborted, and the reproductive capability of the patient was preserved.
Conclusion(s): Transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration in combination with single-dose methotrexate administered systemically can be safely used to treat cervical ectopic pregnancies.

Isthmoceles are defects related to Caesarean section (CS) scars, known to cause secondary infertility and interfere with in-vitro fertilization in women who have had Caesarean deliveries. The etiologies are multifactorial. Isthmoceles, similar to dehiscent CS scars, can be potential sites for ectopic pregnancies and abnormal placentation.

Double C-2 Like Domain Beta (DOC2B) located at 17q13.3 prevents metastasis by senescence induction and epithelial to mesenchymal transition inhibition in cervical cancer (CC). The extracellular vesicle (EV) mediated trafficking of DOC2B and its impact on tumor suppressive activity are not investigated in CC.

Introduction: Ectopic parathyroid adenomas represent an important cause of refractory hyperparathyroidism. While most ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenomas can be accessed through a transcervical approach, this is not always feasible, posing a significant challenge.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 60-year-old female patient who presented with symptomatic hyperparathyroidism.
