Given the intricate pelvic anatomy and the need to achieve both stability and functional recovery, the optimal surgical management for these injuries remains a topic of debate. This systematic review aims to evaluate the various surgical techniques employed in treating this rare and challenging injury and assess associated clinical outcomes and complications.

The masses demonstrated heterogeneously increased uptake on 18F-AlF-NOTA-octreotide PET/CT and were suggestive of neuroendocrine tumor. However, the histopathological examinations confirmed the masses to be peritoneal mesothelioma.

Acute pelvic pain in reproductive-aged persons who are assigned female at birth is associated with an extensive differential diagnosis, with possible causes ranging from the genitourinary or gastrointestinal to the musculoskeletal or neurovascular, in some cases even extending to psychological and dermatologic presentations. This article presents a case study that serves as an exemplar of the differential diagnosis of acute pelvic pain, culminating in diagnosis of the patient with a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst as well as a review of outpatient surveillance guidelines for adnexal masses. Management of this difficult-to-diagnose condition is reviewed, and special populations are considered.
