Although adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) during pregnancy is rare, a retrospective review of a case series at our hospital revealed that almost one third of our patients were women in childbearing age. Given that the age of maternity is increasing, dealing with a tumor diagnosis during pregnancy and the need for fertility planning in cancer survivors is likely to become more frequent.We thus carried out a case-based discussion regarding: i) diagnosing and treating an ACC during pregnancy; ii) patients conceiving while on mitotane; iii) ACC survivors with a maternal desire.In each of these cases, it is important to provide patients with sufficient information, to offer medical advice and psychological support, to personalize treatments in accordance with the wishes of the patient and her relatives, and to collaborate with other specialists since a multidisciplinary expert team is required to manage each case individually.

Department of Reproductive Medicine, Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China.
Objective: To explore the correlation between antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) and pregnancy loss (PL), and to observe its impact on the pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) in recurrent PL (RPL) patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study, patients first seen at the hospital between January 2016 and December 2022 and who underwent two ANA tests within 4-6 weeks were included. After exclusion of confounding factors, patients were allocated to the non-pregnancy loss (non-PL), single-PL, or RPL group according to previous number of PLs, and the correlation between PL and ANAs was analyzed.

Aim: To evaluate the fetal aortic isthmus (AoI) diameter and flow in pregnant women diagnosed with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP).
Methods: In this prospective case-control study, fetal AoI diameter and Doppler measurements were performed in the ICP group (n: 30) and the control group (n: 42). Clinical characteristics, fetal AoI diameter and Doppler measurements, serum bile acid levels, liver enzyme levels, and obstetric and perinatal outcomes were compared between the groups.
