Mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) of the kidney is a rare benign neoplasm composed of both stromal and epithelial components. MEST is mainly seen in adults with a strong predilection for perimenopausal women with history of hormone …

Round ligament fibroids are rare, particularly in postmenopausal women, and can pose a diagnostic challenge due to their uncommon location and nonspecific presentation. We report the case of a 66-year-old postmenopausal woman in whom a righ…

We describe a case of a 38-year-old woman who presented with acute pleuritic chest pain following 3 days of emesis. There was a significant rise in troponin-I, consistent with a non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Coron…

The differential diagnosis of abdominal wall lesions is broad and includes Myositis ossificans (MO). MO primarily arises in skeletal muscles, but can also occur around adjacent structures. It typically appears as a soft tissue lesion with p…

Adenomyosis is a prevalent gynecological condition that affects women of reproductive age, and its treatment can present significant challenges. Conventional surgical approaches are traumatic to the uterine tissue, necessitating the develop…

The MR images of the two cases of ovarian clear cell carcinomas (CCCs), presenting as entirely solid-masses, revealed a band-like peripheral area and a geographic central area: The peripheral area images resembled those of the renal cortex,…

Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) are benign, multilocular fluid-filled lesions that predominantly affect women of reproductive age, often arising after abdominal surgery or chronic inflammation. We present the case of a 30-year-old woman w…

Peritoneal tuberculosis (PT), a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, poses diagnostic challenges in endemic regions like Tunisia due to its resemblance to advanced ovarian cancer. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman with no perso…

We report the case of a patient addressed for abnormal uterine bleeding in the context of secondary infertility. Operative hysteroscopy under sedation showed multiple uterine adhesions (Asherman syndrome) and communication with the pelvic c…

Tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) is a late complication of pelvic inflammatory disease. Its diagnosis is difficult because it is occasionally accompanied by atypical symptoms such as abdominal pain and fever. A 45-year-old married woman presented…

Intestinal volvulus is a pathological condition that can lead to bowel obstruction and intestinal ischemia, and is therefore potentially fatal in severe cases. Patients' symptoms are often nonspecific: volvulus most frequently presents as a…

Endometriosis is described as the proliferation of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. This most frequently occurs within the pelvis and is a common cause of chronic pelvic pain in women of reproductive age. Rarely, endometriosis can …

This case report discusses the clinical presentation, imaging findings, and successful management of a rare case of intussusception in a 6-month-old female infant referred to a regional hospital in Ghana. The patient presented with vomiting…

Round ligament varicosities (RLV) are a very rare cause of an inguinal mass, which is very similar to an inguinal hernia, and should be taken seriously by women, especially in mid-pregnancy. Ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis of the RLV a…

Adenomyosis is a chronic disease associated with abnormal uterine bleeding and debilitating pain with severely reduced quality of life in many affected women. Primary strategies for its management encompass surgical interventions, hormonal …

Umbilical endometriosis is defined as an ectopic localization of functional endometrium at the level of the umbilicus. It is a rare condition, representing 0.5% to 1% of all extragenital endometriosis cases, and its pathophysiology is poorl…

Rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy is rare, with a reported incidence of 1 in 76,000 to 1 in 150,000. This report aims to advance knowledge regarding this rare condition, importance of MRI imaging in characterizing congenital uterine anomal…

Recorded findings of Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich Syndrome (HWWS) remain sparse due to low statistical incidence. Ours is also the first known case to present with an ectopic urethral opening, an even rarer complication. A 27-year-old nulliparo…

Arterioportal fistula (APF) combined with a visceral artery pseudoaneurysm is an exceptionally rare and critical vascular disorder of the abdominal viscera, with pseudoaneurysm rupture being potentially fatal and severe APF leading to porta…

Myometrial hypertrophy and hyperplasia, which usually on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) typically reveal an enlarged uterus with ill-defined areas of low signal intensity and a diminished junctional zone, along with small foci of hyperint…
