We present a case of persistent trophoblast tissue (PT) five weeks after salpingectomy for tubal pregnancy. The fallopian tube-sparing method (salpingotomy) has a greater risk of PT than removal of the whole fallopian tube (salpingectomy) has. A 32-year-old woman was treated with salpingectomy on suspicion of a bleeding ectopic pregnancy and was readmitted due to PT. There is no evidence for measuring the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level as routine follow-up after salpingectomy, but it is important to be aware of the risk of PT and if in doubt measure the levels of hCG.

Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare skin cancer that typically occurs in the anogenital area of older people. Since efficacy of treatments for metastatic or unresectable EMPD remains poor, development of a novel therapeutic approach is strongly desired. However, the lack of EMPD models has hampered investigation of EMPD.

Pathological analysis of placenta is currently a valuable tool for gaining insights into pregnancy outcomes. In placental histopathology, multiple functional tissues can be inspected as potential signals reflecting the transfer functionality between fetal and maternal circulations. However, the identification of multiple functional tissues is challenging due to (1) severe heterogeneity in texture, size and shape, (2) distribution across different scales and (3) the need for comprehensive assessment at the whole slide image (WSI) level.

A 23-year-old woman, conceived by ovulation induction presented at 10 weeks amenorrhea with abdominal pain and a positive urinary Beta HCG. 2D ultrasound suggested a right-sided ectopic pregnancy. On 3D ultrasound imaging, an unicornuate uterus with a right rudimentary horn pregnancy of size 6 cm was diagnosed [Figure 1].

Introduction: Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) revolutionized our understanding of tissue complexity in health and disease and revealed massive transcriptional dysregulation across placental cell classes in early-onset, but not late-onset preeclampsia (PE). However, the multinucleated syncytium is largely inaccessible to cell dissociation. Nuclei isolation and single-nuclei RNA-seq may be preferable in the placenta; not least considering compatibility with long-term tissue storage.

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is associated with recurrent pregnancy morbidity, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. We performed multifaceted characterization of the biological and transcriptomic signatures of mouse placenta and uterine natural killer (uNK) cells in APS. Histological analysis of APS placentas unveiled placental abnormalities, including disturbed angiogenesis, occasional necrotic areas, fibrin deposition, and nucleated red blood cell enrichment.
