Gossypiboma refers to a tumorus mass that is caused by a foreign body reaction due to an accidentally retained gauze or sponge within the body following surgery. Here, we report the case of gossypiboma in a 29-year-old woman with lower abdominal discomfort over a period of 2 years. In her medical history, she had a Cesarean section 11 years ago. Transvaginal ultrasonography showed an 8.5× 6.4 c...

Computed tomography (CT) revealed a left renal pelvic tumor in the horseshoe kidney. Grossly, a 10×9×8 cm unilocular cystic mass fil...

OBJECTIVE To describe the imaging features of pelvic solitary plasmacytoma and to correlate them with the pathologic grade. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed on the imaging features of 10 patients with a histological diagnosis of pelvic solitary plasmacytoma. The imaging studies were assessed for bone expansion, cortical destruction, signal intensity/density of soft ti...

Treatment depends on their etiology and location, as well as the surgeon’s experience. Case Description: We present the case of a coloperitoneal-colovaginal fistula, a unique ...

Pelvic tumors in adolescent females are very uncommon. While the most common presentation is pelvic discomfort, we report the case of a 14-year-old female presenting with menorrhagia which is an unusual initial complaint for a large pelvic tumor. Adolescent females who present with heavy menstrual bleeding initially undergo assessment to rule out a bleeding disorder. In this case, careful histo...
