BACKGROUND Granulosa cell tumours of the ovary are rare, hormonally active, oestrogen-secreting tumours of the ovary existing in two forms: the adult form and the even rarer juvenile form. These tumours present as predominantly solid lesions while the cystic, unilocular presentation is uncommon. CASE REPORT We present an 18-year-old unmarried girl who presented with complaints of chronic pain...

BACKGROUND Leiomyoma with secondary changes arising from Mullerian remnant may mimic ovarian tumor in women with Mayer-Rockitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome in patients with pelvic mass and urologic abnormalities. CASE DETAIL The patient was a 40 years old known case of MRKH, presented with lower abdominal pain and swelling for over one year. On physical examination, large pelvic mass (ab...

The presence of floating fat balls or globules in an ovarian cystic teratoma is an unusual finding. Herein, we present ultrasonographic and tomographic findings of a rarely reported case of cystic teratoma with a floating fat ball.

Phytonutrients get attention now days due to their wide application and tendency improve the productive reproductive performance in humans. Hydrolysable tannin (HT) is one of these bionutrients. The present study was aimed investigate therapeutic effect HT on induced polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) rats. Forty-five adult female rats with 4 5 regular estrous cycle were selected. PCOS by a sin...

Thyroid tissue is a relatively frequent component of mature teratoma and can occur in 5-20% of cases. Primary strumal carcinoid tumor of the ovary (SCTO) is an extremely rare entity, though the survival rate is excellent if the disease is confined to one ovary. A 51-year-old, gravida 2, para 2, woman presented to our hospital with lower abdominal distension for 2 days. The patient had no signs ...

Mature cystic teratoma is the most common benign neoplasm of the ovary, accounting for 27-44% of all ovarian tumors and up to 58% of benign ovarian tumors [1], and is composed of mature-appearing derivatives of two or three embryonal layers [2]. Ectodermal derivatives are observed in almost all mature teratomas [2]. Organized mature neural tissue is a common component. Glial tissue is the most ...

The mesothelial cysts of the round ligament uterus are rare. They misdiagnosed as ovarian/ para ovarian cysts, inguinal hernias, abscess. We report a case 48-years-old female with gradual painless distension abdomen. Up on explorative laparotomy cyst was seen arising from right ligament. Excision cystic mass done and pathologically confirmed cyst. Establishing accurate per operative diagnosis b...

Inhibin production has been demonstrated in malignant epithelial ovarian tumours, but secretion of inhibins by benign cystadenoma has not yet been reported. The present study evaluated the concentrations of inhibin A and inhibin B and the relationship with oestradiol and nitric oxide metabolites in fluid collected from benign ovarian serous cystadenomas (n = 15). In addition, follicular fluid s...

Poly cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is primarily a disorder of clinical and biochemical androgen excess plus either chronic anovulation and/or polycystic ovaries with exclusion of hyperprolactinaemia and 21 hydroxylase deficiency. Over 60% of PCOS patients seen in clinical settings are obese and it becomes challenging to Manage these obese infertile PCOS patients. Importance of life style interve...
