RESUMO
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is one of the most common soft-tissue sarcomas that engage the embryonal skeletal muscle cells as the female reproductive tract. Embryonal RMS (ERMS) is the most prevalent subtype of RMS in the female genital tract. Botryoid RMS is a rapidly growing rare malignancy and a polypoid variant of ERMS that occurs in childhood and constituting approximately 3% of all RMSs among young children and 1% among adolescents and young adults. A 50 year old menopause woman who had been vaginal discharge and bleeding for about 2 years without dysuria, dyspareunia, or postcuital bleeding was informed consent for presenting. A vaginal examination, pathology examination, sonography, magnetic resonance imaging, immunohistochemistry, surgery and radical hysterectomy, radiation therapy, and two sessions of brachytherapy were performed. After 22 months of follow-up, the patient had no evidence of recurrence or any problem in sexual activity. Oncological surgical treatment based on the carcinoma site and adjuvant chemotherapy is helpful for the treatment of RMS. However, applying the standard treatment guidelines is essential, although it is very scarce and difficult.
RESUMO
Introduction: Gastrointestinal symptoms are present in 50% of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-positive COVID-19 patients. In addition, bowel abnormalities are a common finding of COVID-19, and bowel-wall disorder is reported in 31% of computed tomography images of COVID-19 patients. Case History: We report three postpartum cases with colon perforation after Cesarean section and positive PCR for SARS-CoV-2-RNA and during the main peak of COVID-19 pandemic, who were managed by early detection, laparotomy, and effective treatment and were discharged and followed up. Conclusion: A colonic perforation could be considered as one of the causes of abdominal pain especially in women with a past surgical history as well as patients with infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Therefore, abdominal and pelvic ultrasound or x-ray was strongly recommended for postpartum women with abnormal abdominal distension, gastrointestinal symptoms, and pain to prevent possible fetal complications.
