Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis involves ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterus, commonly in the pelvis but sometimes affecting organs like the urinary tract, gastrointestinal system, and respiratory tract. Abdominal wall endometriosis (…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of prolonged GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) suppression combined with letrozole and intensive luteal phase support in a patient with severe adenomyosis undergoing frozen-thawed …

Mature cystic teratomas arise from three germ lines: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. They have a certain malignant potential, which is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. They occur very often in young women, but there are a significa…

Giant ovarian tumors (GOTs) are uncommon ovary neoplasms with no universally accepted definition. They are typically noncancerous, with a mucinous subtype being the most common characteristic. Epithelial ovarian tumors are classified by cel…

This case report examines the association between autoimmune thyroid disease, more commonly known as Graves' disease, and endometriosis with a focus on the complication of an endometrioma rupture. The interplay between these two conditions …

INTRODUCTION: Second-trimester ruptures are mainly associated with trauma, induced pregnancy terminations in scarred uterus, or complications. Risk of uterine rupture is specifically increased with the use of prostaglandin, notably Misopros…

IntroductionInterstitial ectopic pregnancy (IEP), although a rare clinical entity representing 2%-6% of all ectopic pregnancies, is associated with higher morbidity and mortality than other types of ectopic pregnancy, compounded by distinct…

BackgroundPrimary cervical choriocarcinoma in abortion curettage tissue is extremely rare and represents a diagnostic challenge. It is a serious condition that requires prompt and targeted therapeutic management. This case report describes …

INTRODUCTION: Interstitial ectopic pregnancy is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when a fertilized ovum implants in the interstitial (intramural) portion of the fallopian tube within the myometrium. It accounts …

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a rare complication of endometriosis that has sparsely been described in the literature. It involves the development of a thick gray-white fibrotic membrane, which partially or completely encases the …

Tubo-ovarian abscess is a rare but serious complication of assisted reproductive technologies, typically following oocyte retrieval. We report a case of a 41-year-old woman with endometriosis who developed a tubo-ovarian abscess 2 weeks aft…

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) is a rare but increasingly recognized condition among chronic cannabis users, characterized by cyclic nausea, vomiting, and relief with hot bathing. During pregnancy, CHS may mimic hyperemesis gravidar…

BACKGROUND: Vulvar endometriosis is an exceptionally rare manifestation of extrapelvic endometriosis, particularly when located at the site of a prior episiotomy. Often misdiagnosed as more common vulvar pathologies, these lesions may prese…

Kallmann syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia. This case report highlights a 30-year-old woman with KS who presented with secondary amenorrhea and uterine hypoplasia after repea…

BackgroundLaterally implanted pregnancies-including angular, interstitial, and cornual pregnancies-are rare and diagnostically challenging due to overlapping clinical and imaging features. They may mimic a normal intrauterine pregnancy but …

Retroperitoneal mucinous cystic neoplasm is a rare pathology. Data regarding diagnosis and treatment are limited and based on case reports and series. We describe a case series of two patients each presenting with a pelvic mass suspicious f…

This report describes a case of a patient diagnosed with a residual Müllerian duct mass on the uterine surface at our hospital. Through analysis of this case and a review of the literature, we are aimed at reducing the risk of misdiagnosis …

INTRODUCTION: von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most frequent inherited bleeding disorder in women, characterized by quantitative or qualitative deficiency in von Willebrand factor (VWF). This deficiency in functional VWF has a dual effec…

Endometriomas are a frequent cause of infertility in reproductive-aged women, often requiring surgery. However, cystectomy for large endometriomas may reduce ovarian reserve, as indicated by decreased anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels. Th…

INTRODUCTION: Ectopic pregnancy, affecting 1%-2% of pregnancies, is a major cause of first-trimester maternal morbidity and mortality, most commonly occurring in the fallopian tubes. Abdominal ectopic pregnancy is rare (< 1%) but highly dan…

BACKGROUND: Ectopic pregnancies can be a life-threatening condition in early pregnancy. Risk factors include pelvic inflammatory disease, prior ectopic pregnancy, pelvic surgery, and anatomical variations. Although pregnancy after tubal ste…

BACKGROUND: An ovarian ectopic pregnancy (OEP) is a very rare form of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies are 2% of pregnancies, and OEP are 0.5%-3% of all ectopic pregnancies, with an even rarer risk of recurrence. Diagnosis is aided vi…

INTRODUCTION: Severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) occurs less frequently due to increased knowledge of potential risk factors and implementation of preventive strategies. Right-sided pleural effusion as a presentation of severe …
