Heterotopic pregnancy (HP), although common with assisted reproductive techniques, is very rare in spontaneous conceptions. We report the case of a HP in a 41-year-old lady who presented to us with a viable intrauterine pregnancy and an adnexal mass. The ectopic pregnancy was not suspected at her initial presentation. Although cases of HP presenting with ruptured ectopic pregnancy have been rep...

Objective: To demonstrate adnexal masses during pregnancy Materials and Methods: This retrospective hospital based study was carried out in the department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology of Sir Salimullah medical college & Mitford hospital, Dhaka, between June 2007 to June 2009. Results: Among 5320 live births fourteen pregnancies with adnexal masses were detected during the study period. The mean ...

The author discusses assessment and referral considerations for clinicians in a primary care setting when pelvic or adnexal mass has been detected order to rule out potential ovarian malignancy.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the role of ultrasound in diagnosis of adnexal pathologies. The ultrasound findings were correlated with per-operative & histo-pathological findings. The study was prospective and was carried out between March 2014 to August 2014 at the Department of Radiology, P.D.U. Govt. Medical College and Civil Hospital, Rajkot. Abdominal ultrasound & Doppler stud...

Ovarian cancer is predominantly diagnosed at a late stage due to a relative lack of symptoms in the early stages of disease. The published screening trials have not demonstrated any benefit to screening for disease. However, with relatively widespread use of pelvic ultrasound for abdominal or pelvic symptoms, adnexal masses are commonly identified. The majority of such adnexal masses are benign...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. GISTs occur in the entire gastrointestinal tract and may also arise from the retroperitoneum, omentum and mesenteries. They are originated from gastrointestinal pacemaker cells (Cajal's interstitial cells) and range from benign tumors to sarcomas at all sites of occurrence. Diagnosis of GIST could be deceptive...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours are mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract.1 This case study reports the incidental finding of a left sided adnexal mass in a woman with twin pregnancy. The presence of any mass during pregnancy raises issues for patient management, the effect on the developing fetus and mode of delivery.

Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a rare adnexal neoplasm that typically presents in Caucasians. We report a rare case of MAC in a 68 year old African American male that presented as a large asymptomatic scalp mass. The clinical and histologic features of MAC are discussed. A summary of all reported cases of MAC in African American patients is presented, and treatment options are discussed.
