In this report, we detail an unusual presentation of a large Müllerian cyst during pregnancy. A primigravida woman, 25 weeks and 6 days pregnant, arrived at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Emergency Department at Qatif Central Hospital, Saudi Arabia, complaining of something protruding from her vagina, accompanied by a yellowish vaginal discharge and mild back pain. After a series of initial examinations and tests, the patient was diagnosed with cervical incompetence and prolapsed fetal membranes, indicating a threat of preterm labour. However, after a lengthy hospital stay, multiple readmissions, and inconsistencies in the patient's history that contradicted the initial diagnosis, there was a rising suspicion about the nature of the vaginal mass. The patient was re-evaluated with a detailed examination and targeted pelvic ultrasound, which led to the diagnosis of a vaginal cyst. Cyst aspiration was performed before labour, but the patient was unable to deliver vaginally. Consequently, she underwent an emergency cesarean section, followed by an excision of the vaginal cyst. Histopathological analysis finally revealed that the cyst was a Müllerian cyst.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate outcomes and complications in dogs with urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the bladder trigone treated with total cystectomy using uretero-prepuce/vagina/cutaneous anastomosis combined with medical treatment.
Animals: Twenty-one dogs.
Procedure: Total cystectomy was completed as follows: The whole bladder and urethra were removed, and the ureters were anastomosed to the skin in 1 case and to the vagina in 9 cases in females.

Aim: The uterine carcinoma is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in the female pelvis. Accurate identification of tumour origin is crucial for determining appropriate treatment approaches. This study aims to develop a prediction model using multiple MRI parameters to accurately diagnose uterine cancer with an indistinctive origin and those involving both the endometrium and cervix prior to treatment.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the relationship between endometrial thickness and lesions in asymptomatic postmenopausal women and identify diagnostic thresholds for lesions.
Methods: A total of 279 postmenopausal asymptomatic women aged 40 years or older with endometrial thickness ≥ 4 mm were retrospectively selected in our hospital, from January 2018 to June 2023, there were 33 cases's operations which were failed due to the cervical stenosis, 8cases who used hormone replacement therapy within the past year, 7 cases with hysteromyoma that affect the shape of the uterine cavity line, and 5cases's hysteroscopic tissue acquisition were failed. Finally, A retrospective study was conducted on the endometrial thickness of 226 postmenopausal asymptomatic women measured by transvaginal ultrasound and those with thickening were subjected to hysteroscopy and pathological examination of endometrial biopsy tissues, and were divided into a normal group (80 cases), benign lesion group (143 cases), and malignant lesion group (3 cases) according to the pathology results.
