Background: Chronic tubal torsion is a rare clinical entity.
Case: A 15-year-old adolescent presented with an 18-month history of intermittent lower abdominal pain at our outpatient department after various preceding consultations with different physicians. She was asymptomatic and showed no abnormality on physical examination. Ultrasound findings revealed a cystic structure adjacent to the left ovary. Diagnostic laparoscopy showed a twisted and dilated left fallopian tube with thickened wall and adherence to the pelvic sidewall. Following detorsion, there was no evidence of reperfusion. Consequently, a left salpingectomy was performed.
Conclusion: Chronic tubal torsion is a rare but possible differential diagnosis of current lower abdominal pain. Physicians should have a high index of suspicion.

Persistent Müllerian Duct Syndrome with Supernumerary Testicles Due to a Novel Homozygous Variant in the Gene and Literature Review.

Endocrinology Department, Elias Emergency University Hospital, 011461 Bucharest, Romania.
: Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a rare disorder of sex development (DSD) caused by mutations in the genes coding anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) or the AMH receptor, characterized by the persistence of Müllerian derivatives, the uterus and/or fallopian tubes, in otherwise normally virilized boys. Testicular regression syndrome is common in PMDS, yet the association with supernumerary testis has been reported in only two patients where genetic testing was not performed. : Thus, we report an individual with this particular association caused by a previously unreported homozygous variant in the gene to enable future genotype-phenotype correlations in this rare disorder.

Extramedullary infiltration of acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ALL) to genital organs is extremely rare. Here, we present a case report of an asymptomatic 49-year-old female, known case of precursor B-cell ALL, who was incidentally detected with thickened and heterogeneously hyperechoic endometrium on sonography. Contrast magnetic resonance imaging detected large polypoidal enhancing lesions showing intense diffusion restriction occupying the endometrial cavity and similar lesions in the left adnexa, left ovary, and fallopian tube which were suspicious for leukemic infiltration because of the clinical history and atypical appearance of the lesions.

Background: The risk of injury to the ovary and/or fallopian tube during herniotomy is notably high when these structures are involved in the hernial contents of female children. This study evaluates the impact of herniotomy involving the ovary and fallopian tube on secondary sexual characteristics and fertility.
Methods: The medical records for all female children with inguinal hernia who underwent surgery from January 2000 to December 2010 were reviewed retrospectively (n = 1623).

Fallopian tube carcinoma, presenting as an inguinal hernia, is a rare entity. We report the case of a woman in her 70s with a history of hysterectomy and right oophorectomy 29 years prior who presented with left cervical lymphadenopathy and elevated CA125 levels. Imaging revealed a tubular structure in the left pelvic region extending into the inguinal hernia sac.

Our case involves a 68-year-old postmenopausal patient with a history of total abdominal hysterectomy and right salpingo-oophorectomy performed 25 years ago. The patient presented with chronic pelvic pain for a gynecological examination. Clinically, a large painless pelvic mass was palpable, likely originating from the preserved left ovary.
