This data is taken from the Dutch Social Behavior study, a two-wave survey in classrooms (Baerveldt, 2000). In 1994/1995 the first wave took place in 22 Dutch urban high schools. All pupils in the third grade of the intermediate educational level (‘MAVO’) of these schools were selected, resulting in a sample of 1,528 pupils aged between 13 and 18 years, excluding two pupils who did not seriousl...

A patient diagnosed as having a myxoid liposarcoma of the broad ligament is presented. She was treated with surgical resection and radiation therapy and is free of disease 2 years after completing surgery.

When the ovaries have been removed, or when their vitality has been impaired by disease, the uterus is found senescent and small. 4. Pelvic inflammations, by causing, as Freund first indicated, condensation of the cellular tissues in the broad ligament, may impair the circulation in the uterine vessels, or, by producing adhesions around the uterus, as described by Jaquet, may compress the organ...

Female adnexal tumor of probable Wolffian origin (FATWO) is a rare neoplasm arising from the remnants of the mesonephric duct. We report here a case of FATWO in a 70-year-old woman arising from the broad ligament and confirmed on immunohistochemistry. Most of these tumors behave in a benign fashion but certain histological features like hypercellularity, cellular pleomorphism and nuclear atypia...

A broad ligament pregnancy is an extremely rare condition. Diagnosis is often missed and finally made during laparotomy. We present a case which remained undiagnosed throughout her pregnancy till she reached term and unfortunately had intrauterine foetal demise when she reported to our hospital. On clinical suspicion, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging evaluation was done which picked up...

Calcified broad ligament leiomyoma is a rare benign lesion in postmenopausal age group. It causes diagnostic confusion with solid calcified adnexal mass and large bladder calculi at the pelvic region. Clinical and radiological diagnoses were confirmed by histopathology of the hysterectomy specimen. We hereby present a case of heavily calcified broad ligament fibroid in a postmenopausal woman.

Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube without ovarian involvement and associated pathology is a rare event. We report an 18-year-old single female who presented with acute lower abdominal pain during menstruation after a minor trauma of the pelvis. It was diagnosed as isolated torsion of normal right tube during laparatomy due to herniation of the tube through a tear in the broad ligament.

In the year 1864 Frankenhauser, in dealing with the nerve supply to the uterus, first described the plexus which now bears his name. It is, as is of course well known, a sympathetic plexus lying lateral to, and on each side of the uterus, and enveloped by the broad ligament. Two large ganglia are present, a right and a left, the ganglia cervicalia uteri. Until recently these ganglia have attrac...

INTRODUCTION Cystic lymphangiomas are uncommon tumors that can arise from any part of the body. They can pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. They are more common in infants and children than adults. Broad ligament cystic lymphangioma is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 70-year-old multiparous woman presented with an abdominal mass of 20-year duration. A large cystic swelling was d...
