BACKGROUND Robert's uterus is a very rare müllerian duct anomaly which is characterised by septate uterus with obstruction of a one-sided cavity and formation of hematometra. Therefore, patients present with cyclical abdominal pain during menstruation along with normal menstrual flow. CASE REPORT We present magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a case of Robert's uterus in a young woma...

INTRODUCTION Spontaneous rupture of uterus in unscarred uterus prior to onset of labor in third trimester is extremely rare and to our knowledge, very few cases have been reported so far. CASE PRESENTATION A 26-year-old third gravida women with 32 weeks pregnancy presented with pre-labor rupture uterus with extrusion of intact amniotic sac from the rent in uterine fundus. CONCLUSION Rupture...

Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is characterized by multisystem necrotizing vasculitis, primarily affecting small-to-medium-sized muscular arteries, and it is typically found in middle-aged men. PAN is rarely found in the female genital tract (including the uterus), and imaging of the uterus with PAN has not previously been reported. Reported is a case of a 78-year-old patient with uterus enlargemen...

Abstrad Increasing evidence suggests that the differential regulation of multiple peptide growth fadors by steroid hormones contributes significantly to the pleiotropic effects elicited in target tissues. We report here an evaluation of the effects of the potent estrogen, diethylstilbestrol, on the expression of the three mammalian transforming growth fador 3 (TGFIJ) isoforms, TGFfi1, TGFfi2, a...

Nonhistone acidic proteins were isolated, by equilibrium density centrifugation in 4 M cesium chloride, from the chromatin isolated and purified from the uterus of the ovariectomized rat or from calf endometrium. Evidence is presented to show (1) that arginine-rich histones are more effective inhibitors of chromatin-directed RNA synthesis in vitor than lysine-rich histones, (2) that the nonhist...

We present a 32-year-old patient with solitary brain metastasis of endometrial carcinoma. The single frontal lobe metastasis was determined seven months after surgical staging of endometrial adenocarcinoma. The initial diagnosis was determined by hysterescopic resection of an endometrial polyp. The lesion was only limited to the endometrial polyp and there was no evidence of disease at the path...

Embryo implantation in the uterus is a critical step in mammalian reproduction, requiring preparation of the uterus receptive to blastocyst implantation. Uterine receptivity, also known as the window of implantation, lasts for a limited period, and it is during this period blastocysts normally implant. Ovarian steroid hormones estrogen and progesterone (P(4)) are the primary regulators of this ...

Leiomyomas are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms. Smooth muscle cells with variable amounts of fibrous stroma make up these benign tumors. The tumor occurs frequently in uterus 20–30% women reproductive age. Uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS/LMS) is a rare cancer originating from smooth lining walls uterus. We report case postmenopausal 65 years presented retention urine, diagnosed as LMS on his...

Retroverted uterine incarceration with sacculation of the anterior wall is reported to occur approximately in 1/3000 pregnancies. A literature search identified only 1 case report of incarceration of an anteflexed gravid uterus and 6 reported cases of recurrent incarceration and/or sacculation. We present a case of an incarceration of an anteflexed uterus in the first pregnancy, followed by a r...

Every year, 14 million cases of obstetric hemorrhage occur worldwide, causing 127,000 maternal deaths. About 75% of postpartum hemorrhage cases are due to atonic uterus, which is loss of uterine muscular tone or strength for contraction of the uterus after delivery. The prediction of atonic uterus is therefore important for the prevention of postpartum maternal death. However, prediction of occ...
