A Rare Case of Pericentric Inversion, Inv (21) (p12;q22) in Repeated Pregnancy Loss: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Pericentric inversions are among the most frequent chromosomal rearrangements with a frequency of 1-2%. There is no phenotypic effect in the majority of pericentric inversion heterozygote carriers, when it is a balanced rearrangement. However, miscarriages, infertility and/or chromosomally unbalanced offspring can be observed in carriers of a pericentric inversion. This is a case of pericentric inversion of one chromosome 21: inv (21) (p12; q22) in repeated pregnancy loss. A couple was referred for cytogenetic examination due to idiopathic miscarriages. The proband proved to be a carrier of chromosomal inversion and her partner's karyotype was found to be normal. The karyotype of the proband is 46, xx, inv (21) (p12; q22). This abnormal karyotype is reported as a probable reason of miscarriage in the investigated couple. The risk of further miscarriages and the risk of a progeny with abnormal karyotype are rather high. Therefore, amniocenthesis for finding the chromosomal abnormality as a prenatal diagnosis are proposed for the patient if future pregnancy does not lead to miscarriage.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.

A Rare Case Report of Successful Laparoscopy-Guided Reduction of Non-Puerperal Uterine Inversion.

Project description:Non-puerperal uterine inversion is an extremely rare and potentially dangerous condition. Cases are poorly described in the literature, and their actual incidence is unknown. A 34-year-old nulliparous female patient visited the emergency department following a loss of consciousness. She had experienced continuous vaginal bleeding over the preceding two months, with a two-day history of worsening symptoms. The patient showed signs of hypovolemic shock secondary to unceasing vaginal bleeding. Ultrasound and computed tomography revealed an inverted uterus and a large hematoma inside the patient's vaginal cavity. An emergency explorative laparoscopy was performed, which confirmed uterine inversion. Initially, Johnson's maneuver was attempted under laparoscopic visualization, but this failed to achieve uterine reduction. Following the unsuccessful performance of Huntington's maneuver, a re-trial of the manual reduction allowed the uterus to recover to its normal anatomy. The patient's vaginal bleeding was dramatically reduced after successful uterine reduction. The pathologic report conducted confirmed endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Laparoscopic visualization is a feasible and safe procedure for achieving uterine reduction in cases of non-puerperal uterine inversion with an unconfirmed pathology. Uterine malignancies should be considered in patients with non-puerperal uterine inversion.

A Rare Case of Fungal Keratitis Caused by Plectosphaerella cucumerina Diagnosed With Repeated Corneal Scrapings: A Case Report.

Project description:Plectosphaerella cucumerina is a filamentous fungus that infects plants and crops, but there are few previous reports of human infections. The current case was an 82-year-old woman who was referred to us for corneal infection in her left eye that did not improve with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of the eye at the first visit to us was hand motion. Slit-lamp examination revealed extensive white infiltration and ulceration in the anterior corneal stroma of the left eye. Intensive antibacterial and antiviral treatment for one month did not improve the condition of the cornea. Although initial culture testing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing of corneal scraping samples did not reveal the causative microorganism, repeated culture testing identified P. cucumerina. The corneal infection eventually subsided after topical and systemic treatment with voriconazole (VRCZ). The final BCVA in the left eye was 1.3 logMAR. This was a rare case of fungal keratitis due to P. cucumerina. Our case suggests that it is important to perform repeated examinations with corneal scrapings, especially when the treatment response is poor.

A case report on POEMS syndrome with high parathyroid hormone and repeated surgery, a rare presentation of a rare disease.

Project description:IntroductionPolyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome is a rare multisystemic disease that is named for its constellation which can easily be mistaken for other disorders.Case presentationIn present study we evaluated a 39-year-old man with hypercalcemia and parathyroid hormone. He underwent two failed surgeries for parathyroid adenoma but due to the presence of other features of the syndrome, a diagnosis of POEMS syndrome was made. His symptoms were multiple peripheral neuropathies, monoclonal plasma cell proliferative disorder, multiple bony lesions alongside endocrinopathy, lymphadenopathy, extravascular volume overload, mildly hypocellular marrow with polymorphic population, trilineage hematopoiesis, and progressive maturation less than 5 % plasma cell in bone marrow biopsy and aspiration. Patient was treated with the administration of Pomalidomide and autologous stem cell transplantation after which his symptoms improved and laboratory test results normalized.DiscussionPOEMS syndrome is a rare disorder that is challenging to diagnose due to its variable clinical presentation and similarity to other disorders. However, specific criteria can help distinguish it from other syndromes. In this case, we witness the comorbidity of Ganglioneuroma. Also, hyperglycemia with hypercalcemia and high PTH in this patient are not common endocrine disorders in POEMS syndrome which there are some possible explanations for these symptoms' presentation.ConclusionAlthough endocrine disorders are an important part of POEMs syndrome, some characteristic of this disease is unknown, and it becomes more difficult to diagnose in early stages, that in these cases, thorough physical examinations and laboratory results may help with the early diagnosis.

Cherubism: A rare case report.

Project description:Cherubism is a rare congenital disease resulting in malformation of the jaw. It occurs before the age of 5 years and regress spontaneously after puberty. It can result into enlargement of the jaw bone, tooth displacement, facial disfigurement and psychological trauma to patient. Hence, the understanding about the condition, its progression and management is necessary.

Two embryos did not implant into the womb. A rare case of non-iatrogenic bilateral ectopic pregnancy (two-tailed tubal ectopic pregnancy) case report.

Project description:Introduction and importanceBilateral ectopic pregnancy is one of the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancy due to the difficulty of diagnosis and interference before surgery, where ectopic pregnancy cases are clinically indistinguishable from unilateral ectopic pregnancy, and many cases are discovered by chance during surgery.The Importance of this report comes from the history of a patient with four cesarean sections, who developed two-tailed tubal ectopic pregnancy without ovulation induction or any contraception methods.Case presentationOur patient after admission to the emergency department was diagnosed with a unilateral GS = 9W ectopic pregnancy in the right fallopian tube based on Doppler echography. However, during the surgery, the surgeon discovered a rupture in the left tube, which was discovered to be another left fallopian ectopic pregnancy confirmed by pathology.Clinical discussionOur patient presented with typical symptoms of ectopic pregnancy confirmed by BHCG blood test and Doppler ultra sound but the untypical finding of bilateral ectopic pregnancy without suggestive history couldn't be discovered until laparatomy.ConclusionThis case reminds us to always check both adnexa before making any decisions and because of the poor presurgical diagnosis of EP, it highlights the importance of human resources and equipment which could save our patients fertility.ConclusionTo preserve the integrity of the organs and the patient's future fertility the doctor who diagnoses a tubal ectopic pregnancy should always check the other tube before taking action even if the suspicion is not due to the induction of ovulation, and never fully trust imaging study only as an aiding tool to make a diagnosis; nevertheless, the patient could have been better managed and her fertility saved if better capabilities were available.

Hysteroscopic resection for management of early pregnancy loss: a case report and literature review.

Project description:ObjectiveTo report a case of early pregnancy loss successfully managed by hysteroscopic resection, review the literature comparing hysteroscopic resection to dilation and curettage for retained products of conception, and review potential advantages of hysteroscopic resection over dilation and curettage for management of early pregnancy loss.DesignCase report.SettingPrivate practice.PatientsOne woman with early pregnancy loss.InterventionsHysteroscopic resection using a mechanical morcellation device.Main outcome measuresComplete uterine evacuation after hysteroscopic resection as demonstrated by a normal transvaginal ultrasound and cessation of bleeding 2 weeks after surgery.ResultsThe hysteroscopic fluid deficit was 365 ml, with minimal blood loss. Products of conception were confirmed on pathologic examination. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. A saline infusion sonogram obtained 4 months after surgery demonstrated a normal endometrial cavity with no intrauterine adhesions.ConclusionsSurgical management of early pregnancy loss may be complicated by retained products of conception (RPOC) or intrauterine adhesion formation, which can lead to adverse fertility outcomes in the future. Hysteroscopic resection of RPOC has been associated with fewer cases of intrauterine adhesions, more cases of complete tissue removal, and earlier time to conception compared with dilation and curettage. Early pregnancy loss can also be characterized as RPOC with potentially similar benefits from hysteroscopic resection. Thus, hysteroscopic resection can be considered as an alternative surgical technique for management of early pregnancy loss. This case report demonstrates the successful application of hysteroscopic resection in a case of early pregnancy loss.

Apocrine Hidrocystoma: A Rare Case Report.

Project description:Hidrocystoma is a cystic tumor originating from a dilated sweat gland. The tumor is typically small and located predominantly on the face, particularly in the eyelid margins. They are two classical types of hidrocystomas i.e., Apocrine and Eccrine. Apocrine hidrocystomas are cystic lesions that arise from the apocrine secretory coil and Eccrine hidrocystomas represent retention cysts of the eccrine duct. Multiple apocrine hidrocystomas confined to the eyelids have been recognized as a feature of a new variant of ectodermal dysplasia. Here we present a rare case of Apocrine hidrocystoma of supraorbital area for which excisional biopsy of the lesion was performed. Histopathological evaluation proved the lesion was a unilocular cyst lined by a double-layered epithelium of the apocrine type. The purpose of this paper is to report the unique occurrence of a Supra orbital apocrine hidrocystoma which was clinically as a sebaceous cyst and to discuss its differential diagnosis with other more common supraorbital and face lesions.
