A 33-year-old premenopausal multiparous woman with the history of septate uterus was referred to the hospital with menorrhagia and inter-menstrual bleeding occurring for the last 6 months. Work-up revealed a stage IIB cervical cancer. The patient underwent curative chemo/radiotherapy. The patient's septate uterus presented several difficulties during application. Brachytherapy was applied using...

to doing this research daily interpolated temperature data from asfezari data base have been used. in order to recognition extreme cold days, the normalized temperature deviation index (ntdi) applied. then the index sorted according to extensive and severity and first 500 days selected for analysis. the geopotential height data extracted from www.esrl.noaa.gov data base. the thickness anomaly c...

BACKGROUND: Alterations in the normal sequence of development of müllerian ducts lead to a wide spectrum of reproductive tract abnormalities. A rare form of lack of development, regarding a short tract of the müllerian ducts, leads to the isolated agenesis of the uterine cervix. Anomalies identified among patients with müllerian agenesis include skeletal deformities (i.e., scoliosis of the spin...

Rudimentary Horn Pregnancy (RHP) is a rare form of pregnancy in a uterine rudimentary horn with a reported incidence of 1:76,000 and an estimated maternal mortality rate of 0.5%. Around 40% of women with RHP are asymptomatic when present during routine ultrasound scan especially in the first trimester and many women often have a history of previous normal pregnancies and vaginal delivery. Despi...

introduction: preterm birth is still a major health problem throughout the world, which results in 75% of neonatal mortality. preterm labor not only inflicts financial and emotional distress, it may also lead to permanent disability. the present study was conducted to determine the related risk factors and preventive measures of preterm labor. methods: this retrospective cross-sectional study a...

Approximately 1 in every 76,000 pregnancies develops within a unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn. Müllerian uterus anomalies are often asymptomatic, thus, the diagnosis is a challenge, and it is usually made during the gestation or due to its complications, such as uterine rupture, pregnancy-induced hypertension, antepartum, postpartum bleeding and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)...

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) represent a rare group of tumours with uncertain malignancy potential exhibiting an immunophenotype characterized by actin and Human Melanoma Black 45 (HMB45) immunoreactivity. Our case concerns about a rare malignant uterine perivascular epithelioid cell tumour diagnosed in a patient underwent to subtotal hysterectomy with unclear diagnosis, 12 ye...

uterine leiomyomas/fibroids are the most common pelvic tumors of the female genital tract. the initiators remaining unknown, estrogens and progesterone are considered as promoters of fibroid growth. fibroids are monoclonal tumors showing 40-50% karyo-typically detectable chromosomal abnormalities. cytogenetic aberrations involving chromosomes 6, 7, 12 and 14 constitute the major chromosome abno...

The OHVIRA syndrome classically occurs in the setting of uterine didelphys or more rarely, a septate uterus with incidence in various case series is 0.1-3.8%. Renal agenesis is the most commonly reported urologic anomaly. The typical patient with this rare condition usually presents after menarche with nonspecific symptoms of recurrent pelvic pain or dysmenorrhea but both of our patients had at...
