Primary uterine angiosarcoma is extremely rare and has a poor prognosis. Angiosarcoma (malignant hemangioendothelioma or hemangiosarcoma) is defined as a tumor of the endothelial cells that lined the blood vessels. It represents less than 1% of all soft tissue sarcomas (1). Although angiosarcomas can arise in any region of the body, most arise in the skin or superficial soft tissue of the elder...

Background: Neural tube defects are common and major birth defects. Their incidence varies according to the geographic conditions, race, sex of the baby and certain maternal conditions. This study was conducted to determine the incidence of neural tube defects and its risk factors in Peshawar. Material and Methods: It was retrospective study of deliveries at Gynae A unit of Lady Reading Hospita...

Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube in premenarcheal girls is very rare. However, correct diagnosis and treatment are needed in order to optimize salvage of fallopian tube. Here, we report a case of fallopian tube torsion in a premenarcheal girl. A 12-year-old premenarcheal girl was admitted with a rapid history of colicky lower abdominal pain. MR image demonstrated normal ovaries and a larg...

OBJECTIVE To propose a new theory describing the development of the fallopian tube fimbria. DESIGN Case series report. SETTING Metropolitan tertiary care children's hospital. PATIENT(S) Two girls, aged 12 and 20 years, who presented with pelvic pain. INTERVENTION(S) Magnetic resonance imaging, laparoscopy with salpingectomy, and pathologic analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Description...

T of a gravid uterus is rare, but torsion of a non-gravid uterus is rarer.1 The leading cause of torsion of a non-gravid uterus is leiomyoma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be helpful in the diagnosis of torsion in some cases.2 We report a case of uterine torsion in which an anterior leiomyoma mimicked a broad ligament leiomyoma on imaging studies. A 36-year-old woman was referred to ou...

Case Report A 23-year-old single lady was referred to our institution’s Emergency Department for the suspicion of ectopic pregnancy after an ultrasound scan performed by a private practitioner. She had initially requested for a termination of pregnancy. At 10 weeks amenorrhoea, she did not have any abnormal symptoms such as abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding. A transvaginal pelvic ultrasound wa...

A gynaecological applicator consisting of a metallic intra-uterine tube with a plastic vaginal applicator and an HDR Ir-192 source have been simulated with MCNP5 (Monte Carlo code). A solid phantom has been designed to perform measurements around the applicator with radiochromic films. The isodose curves obtained are compared with curves calculated with the F4MESH tally of MCNP5 with a good agr...

Hysterosalpingography is an imaging method to evaluate the endometrial and uterine morphology and fallopian tube patency. Contrast intravasation implies backflow of injected contrast into the adjoining vessels mostly the veins and may be related to factors altering endometrial vascularity and permeability. Radiologists and gynaecologists should be well acquainted with the technique of hysterosa...
