Caesarean scar endometriosis: a case report

Endometriosis is a common disorder in women of reproductive age but is rarely observed in abdominal scar after caesarean section. The authors report a case of 35-year-old woman referred for a painful lump at caesarean scar. Preoperative diagnosis of caesarean scar endometriosis was made on the basis of clinical examination and radiological imaging and confirmed histologically after large surgical excision of the mass. Increasing awareness of this rare entity among clinicians can help in early diagnosis and appropriate treatment

Giant placental chorioangioma discovered at 29 weeks’ gestation: a case report

Chorioangiomas are the commonest non-trophoblastic tumors of placenta with an estimated incidence of 1%. The majority of them are small, asymptomatic and only found by careful pathologic examination of the placenta. Occasionally, they can attain a large diameter (≥ 4-5cm) resulting in what is termed ‘giant chorioangioma’ with a high feto-maternal morbidity and mortality rates. We report a case of giant chorioangioma discovered accidentally during a routine obstetric ultrasound. Expectant management was adopted. Ultrasound follow-up revealed several fetal complications; an elective caesarean section was made giving birth to a premature new-born with enormous hepatosplenomegaly, died on the first day of life. Diagnosis and management of chorioangioma represents a stringent challenge for obstetricians due to its potentially serious antenatal complications

Ectopic breast carcinoma: A case report

Data about the occurrence of primary carcinoma in ectopic breast tissue are rare and limited to small case series. Nowadays, its diagnosis and management are not definitively established. We report the case of a 61-year-old woman with primary carcinoma originating from the left axillary ectopic breast which was treated surgically by ectopic breast mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection
