Chondrosarcoma is considered as a common primary bone sarcoma. These sarcomas can form large masses without any specific symptoms because there are no barriers in pelvic anatomy to prevent the enlargement of tumors, and can mimic ovarian masses. We present a pelvic chondrosarcoma in a woman aged 37 years who was misdiagnosed as having an ovarian mass due to the limited information obtained from...

Pelvic tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) (95%) or Mycobacterium bovis (5%). The incidence of pelvic tuberculosis is difficult to assess as many patients are asymptomatic for 10 to 20 years, therefore the disease often comes to light only incidentally during the course of investigation for a gynecological complaint (such as problems co...

Accessory spleens (AS) are congenital malformations defined as additional ectopic splenic parenchyma. Most of them are innocent until found, and do not usually require treatment. They may have clinical significance since theymay be confused for enlarged lymph nodes or have a neoplastic appearance; therefore, accurate preoperative diagnosis is important to avoid unnecessary surgical management. ...

There is minimal data within the literature demonstrating the use of robotics to resect pelvic, benign schwannoma(s). Herein, we describe a case of a 46-year-old transgender male that presented with complaints of left-sided pelvic pain. Pre-operatively, the etiology was unknown. The patient underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic excision of the pelvic mass, including a 5-6 cm resection of the ...

BACKGROUND Locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancers frequently cause pelvic morbidity including pain, bleeding and mass effect. Palliative pelvic radiotherapy is used to relieve these symptoms and delay local progression. There is no established optimal radiotherapy regimen and clinical practices vary. Our aim was to review the efficacy and toxicity of palliative pelvic radiotherapy of sym...

We report the case of a patient with pain and an abdominal palpable mass whose tests showed a right pelvic kidney with a 4-cm stone in the renal pelvis. We describe the successful management through laparoscopic assisted percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in ectopic pelvic kidney, stressing that this method is a minimally invasive therapeutic option in such cases.
