RESUMEN

Urogenital myiasis is a rare entity that is usually manifested in women belonging to lower socioeconomic status residing in tropical or subtropical nations with poor hygiene or intellectual disability. It is caused by fly larvae capable of penetrating body orifices and healthy or necrotic tissue. The larvae penetrate the skin, forming painful, inflammatory nodules that can form fistula to the internal organs or the skin's surface. Serous and haemorrhagic exudation, along with crawling larvae, are encountered. Some complications, such as secondary infection and tetanus, have been documented. The prognosis is generally good, and treatment consists of removing the parasitic larvae and thoroughly cleansing the affected area.We present a case of a postmenopausal woman with parity 3 and live issue 1 in her early 50s from lower socioeconomic status diagnosed with uterovaginal prolapse complicated by myiasis. The patient was managed successfully with systemic antibiotics, manual removal of myiasis and hysterectomy.

RESUMEN

Involvement of the cervix with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is extremely rare. In this case report, we discuss an unmarried woman in her early 20s, who presented in the emergency with lower abdominal pain and irregular vaginal bleeding for 1 month. Clinical examination and imaging revealed a large cervical mass probably neoplastic with obstructive uropathy. On evaluation, she was diagnosed incidentally with CALLA-positive precursor B cell ALL in peripheral blood flow cytometry. Involvement of B cell ALL in cervical mass was confirmed by histopathological examination of cervical biopsy and immunohistochemistry markers. Her history was not suggestive of signs and symptoms pertaining to leukaemia. Literature is sparse with only a few cases reporting cervical leukaemic infiltration. The present case report is a rarest case where the primary/initial presentation of precursor B cell ALL was seen with cervical involvement and obstructive uropathy mimicking characteristics of advanced cervical malignancy.

RESUMEN

Ureteric leiomyosarcoma is a rare but aggressive tumor among other sarcomas. There is no established epidemiological data due to the scarcity of literature on this uncommon disorder. The present literature comprises about 20 case reports mostly of women above 40 years of age. The presenting complaint is mostly pain in the abdomen with only a few reporting urological symptoms like hematuria. Understandably, this tumor is diagnosed by histopathological examination with immunohistochemistry. We report one such case of a 32-year-old female who underwent an exploratory laparotomy with preoperative suspicion of adnexal neoplastic mass only to find normal ovaries and left ureteric tumor intraoperatively. She was managed with excision of the tumor with partial resection of the involved ureter and end-to-end anastomosis of the ureter followed by chemotherapy and radiation.

RESUMEN

May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a rare, yet important, differential diagnosis in reproductive-age women with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It is characterized by the compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common artery against the lumbar vertebra. The condition is complicated by recurrent DVT with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). Here is a case of multiparous women in early puerperium with right tubo-ovarian abscess and left lower limb DVT likely due to MTS. The diagnosis was further complicated by the presence of persistent thrombocytosis but a myeloproliferative neoplasm was ruled out by genetic mutation testing. She was given anticoagulants, and laparotomy was done for the excision of the tubo-ovarian mass in view of the persistent fever not responding to injectable antibiotics. PTE in the postoperative period was managed by anticoagulants followed by an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter for the risk of recurrent DVT and/or PTE in an MTS case.

RESUMEN

Non-puerperal uterine inversion is an extremely uncommon condition, and its occurrence due to malignant mixed Mullerian tumor (MMMT) of the uterus is quite exceptional. We report one such case of acute non-puerperal uterine inversion ascribed to MMMT in a 77-year-old postmenopausal woman. Such a case poses a diagnostic and management dilemma, and prior knowledge may result in a successful outcome.
