Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is one of the most commonly encountered serious infectious disease entities in gynecology. The past decade has witnessed many advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of PID. It is now evident that such pelvic infections are largely polymicrobial in origin, with major involvement by anaerobic organisms. Salpingo-oophoritis is a part of the spectrum of ...

OBJECTIVE The fallopian tube is now recognized as a primary source of precursor neoplastic lesions for pelvic serous adenocarcinomas. Cytologic features of fallopian tube brushings from low-risk patients have not been well described. STUDY DESIGN We describe the cytomorphology of tubal epithelium from prospectively collected experimental in vivo brushings from normal fallopian tubes of 7 low-...

Uterine sarcomas are rare and comprise only 3% of all uterine cancers. Within the group of adult soft tissue sarcomas, they account for ∼7% of new cases. They consist of several distinct histological subtypes like leiomyosarcoma, endometrial stromal tumors, undifferentiated sarcomas, pure heterologous sarcomas, and mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumors. Standard treatment in localized disease...

Background: Rectal injuries are the most severe complications of gynecologic surgeries, especially total laparoscopic hysterectomy. In several cases, an ileostomy is performed as a lifesaving procedure. Recently, studies have suggested that primary repair should be attempted for all cases intraperitoneal rectal injuries. To best our knowledge, previous case reports not discussed specific injury...

Second trimester abdominal ectopic pregnancies are rare and life threatening. Early diagnosis and treatment are paramount in reducing maternal morbidity and mortality. We describe an unusually late diagnosis of abdominal pregnancy despite multiple ultrasounds beginning in early pregnancy. A 28-year-old G2P1001 sought pregnancy termination at 22 weeks' gestation after fetal anomalies were noted ...
