1/26. Coexistance of tubal ectopic pregnancy and adenomatoid tumor.The first case is presented of coexistance of an ectopic pregnancy and an adenomatoid tumor in the same fallopian tube. The ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed clinically, but the tumor was only detected microscopically as a result of extensive sampling of the salpingectomy specimen.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/26. Hydrosalpinx due to asymptomatic bilateral tubal pregnancies associated with metaplastic papillary tumor of the fallopian tube.The patient described in this report had bilateral hydrosalpinx due to pregnancies in both fallopian tubes, treated by laparoscopic resection. Histologically, both fallopian tubes revealed intratubal occlusion by degenerated, partially calcified chorionic tissue. An incidental finding was an intraluminal papillary epithelial tumor in one of the fallopian tubes. The clinical significance and complications of asymptomatic tubal ectopic pregnancy and the pathogenesis and biologic behavior of papillary epithelial tumors of the fallopian tube are briefly discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/26. Recurrent metastatic fallopian tube carcinoma in pregnancy.BACKGROUND: Fallopian tube cancer is the rarest of all gynecologic cancers. An extensive literature search on medline reveals no previous case reports of fallopian tube carcinoma in association with a term pregnancy. CASE: A woman with surgical stage IIB fallopian tube carcinoma was treated with limited staging laparotomy, as per the patient's fertility wishes, followed by adjuvant cis-platinum and paclitaxel (Taxol). One year following chemotherapy, she conceived. She was noted to have an asymptomatic intraabdominal recurrence at 16 weeks. The patient completed 37 weeks of pregnancy without further therapy according to her wishes. She subsequently underwent a cesarean section with optimal tumor reduction surgery. carboplatin and paclitaxel were reinstituted, achieving partial response. She is presently alive with stable disease status 6 months after completing her salvage chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: This is the first case report of recurrent fallopian tube cancer in pregnancy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.1666666666667keywords = pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/26. Tubal ectopic pregnancy associated with an adenomatoid tumor.We present a case of coexistence of an ectopic pregnancy and an adenomatoid tumor in the same fallopian tube. The adenomatoid tumor is the most common benign neoplasm of the fallopian tube, and the vast majority of ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tube. However, coexistence of these two conditions is extremely rare, and there has been only one previously reported case in the English literature. In the present case, the placental tissue, consisting of chorionic villi and decidua, was present in the ampulla, and the adenomatoid tumor was found in the myosalpinx, just proximal to the implantation site, replacing a large part of the myosalpinx. The close spatial relationship of these two lesions suggests that an adenomatoid tumor could have interfered with transportation of the fertilized ovum through the tube, possibly via impaired contractile activity of the myosalpinx, and consequently caused the ectopic tubal pregnancy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/26. Epithelioid trophoblastic tumour: report of a case in the fallopian tube.A case of epithelioid trophoblastic tumour (ETT), occurring in a fallopian tube of a 39-year-old woman, is reported. The patient presented with a positive pregnancy test, but continued to have 'periods'. A palpable right adnexal mass was noted that was confirmed on ultrasound. The mass was removed together with the uterus, omentum and associated ovary. Careful examination of the uterus revealed no evidence of either an antecedent tumour or intra-uterine pregnancy. Histologically, the tubal mass displayed sheets and islands of large, relatively uniform, mitotically active polyhedral cells, with surrounding necrosis. The immunoprofile of the tumour was atypical in that alpha-inhibin and epidermal growth factor were weakly positive, but other results were consistent with the diagnosis of ETT. The patient received a foreshortened course of standard EMACO (etoposide, actinomycin-D, methotrexate, vincristine, and cyclophosphamide) combination chemotherapy for high-risk gestational trophoblastic disease. serum beta-hCG fell from a pre-operative level of 52 000 U/mL to non-pregnant levels within two courses and she remains well and disease-free 12 months post-diagnosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/26. Gestational choriocarcinoma in a tubal ectopic pregnancy.A case is reported of a gestational choriocarcinoma arising in a tubal ectopic pregnancy of 7 weeks' gestation. Unilateral salpingectomy and single-agent actinomycin-D chemotherapy achieved a cure. A follow-up 4 years later revealed no evidence of recurrence, with two normal births within that period. The current trend to treat ectopic pregnancy by conservative surgery necessitates monitoring of beta-HCG titres in order to avoid missing a choriocarcinoma developing in an ectopic gestation, even though this is a very rare condition.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/26. choriocarcinoma associated with ectopic pregnancy after tubal sterilisation.A 33-year-old highly parous woman developed severe abdominal pain and signs of circulatory collapse 10 months after tubal sterilisation in the absence of symptoms of pregnancy. A ruptured ectopic pregnancy sited interstitially in the right tube and extending into the myometrium and parametrium was found at laparotomy. Histopathologic examination revealed an ectopic pregnancy consisting of choriocarcinoma--a rare but life-threatening combination in a sterilised woman.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.1666666666667keywords = pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/26. Primary tubal choriocarcinoma.choriocarcinoma is one of the most serious forms of gestational trophoblastic tumor. It is a malignant tumor from the epithelium of the chorionic villi. The most frequent location site is the uterus. Associated with ectopic pregnancy, it is extremely rare and in general, very aggressive. In 75% of the cases, it items from distant metastasis; therefore, a histological examination of the tubes must be performed in all ectopic pregnancies. Our patient was a 33-year-old woman who was admitted to emergency room (ER) with an intense pain in the right, iliac cavity, and limited genital bleeding. During the exploration, there was abdominal pain, with doubtful signs of peritoneal irritation. The vaginal ultrasound offered an image that was compatible with an extra uterine pregnancy in the left appendages. At emergency, right salpingectomy was performed via laparotomy. The patient was treated with polychemotherapy and contraceptives for a year, with no recurrence of the disease. Control follow-up was performed using beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) testing on a weekly basis during the first month and then bi-monthly during the first year of follow-up.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/26. A successfully treated case of primary tubal choriocarcinoma coexistent with viable intrauterine pregnancy.BACKGROUND: choriocarcinoma of the fallopian tube is extremely rare as is choriocarcinoma with a viable pregnancy. We present an unusual case of prima gravida at 33 weeks gestation that was diagnosed as having tubal choriocarcinoma which was successfully treated by chemotherapy. CASE: A 31-year-old prima gravida at 32( 3) weeks gestation was admitted complaining of dyspnea and blood tinged sputum. Suspecting a left adnexal malignant tumor with pulmonary metastasis, delivery of the baby for optimal treatment of the mother's tumor was planned. Cesarean delivery was performed because of induction failure. Tumorectomy with left salpingectomy and infracolic omentectomy was performed for a left tubal tumor. Microscopic findings revealed choriocarcinoma with extensive hemorrhage. Its FIGO stage was III and its WHO prognostic score 12, representing high risk. After 4 cycles of chemotherapy, serum beta-hCG level fell to the normal range. The patient and her baby remain disease-free 16 months after disease diagnosis. CONCLUSION: This is the first reported case of tubal choriocarcinoma coexistent with a viable pregnancy, in which the baby survived and the mother was successfully treated by chemotherapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/26. An unusual case of primary fallopian tube carcinoma in pregnancy.Fallopian tube carcinoma is the rarest of all female genital tract malignancies. It usually occurs in postmenopausal women and is associated with infertility. We present the first reported case of it occurring as a primary tumor in a young primigravida. It presented as a large, rapidly growing adnexal mass at 9 weeks of gestation which was removed and found to be a papillary serous carcinoma of the fallopian tube. The patient continued the pregnancy to term and delivered a live healthy infant by ventouse. A staging laparotomy in the postnatal period showed no spread of tumor, and in view of her age and desire for further pregnancies, her uterus and other ovary and tube were conserved. She remains tumor free 2 years following detection. We discuss the incidence, progress, management, and survival rates of this rare gynecological malignancy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = pregnancy (Clic here for more details about this article) |
