Laparoscopic-assisted ovarian cystectomy with exteriorization is a minimally invasive procedure. However, applicability of this procedure for transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery is not well established. Herein, we describe our initial experience with isobaric (gasless) LESS-assisted extracorporeal cystectomy in management of selected adnexal tumors. Of 17 consecutive adne...

In this case report, a rare case of an adnexal torsion caused by hyperreactio luteinalis (HL) in the third trimester is described, since adnexal torsions are mainly restricted to the first trimester of pregnancy. In an emergency Cesarean section, the patient gave birth to a healthy female baby weighing 3,300 g and we found an enlarged benign multiple luteinized follicular cyst mass in the right...

The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of Eccrine Spiradenoma (ES) in the differential diagnosis of chronic soft tissue lesions of the foot. These include a broad spectrum of nonneoplasm lesions, as well as benign and malignant neoplasms. Benign tumours include deep fibromatosis, neurogenic tumours, lipoma, haemangioma, synovial proliferations, and exceptionally rare on foot, sk...

Complex adnexal masses are common and often present as a diagnostic dilemma. Many of these complex adnexal masses require timely recognition and treatment. Therefore, it is important to have a good differential diagnostic approach to these lesions. The classic differential for complex adnexal mass is the mnemonic "CHEETAH." This mnemonic may be a helpful memory device for residents, especially ...

Maternal adnexal torsion in pregnancy, with a reported incidence of 1-10 per 10,000 spontaneous pregnancies, is very uncommon. Since it has been described as a severe complication after controlled ovarian hyper-stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF), it is more common in IVF pregnancies. This condition mainly occurs in the first trimester; it is rare during the late second trimester. Cons...

In this article, we provide an update on incidence rates of ophthalmic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), in the context of other NHL, in the USA. We also provide population-based estimates of incidence and survival for ocular adnexal NHL, the most common form of ophthalmic NHL, for which descriptive patterns have not been previously reported. Ophthalmic and ocular adnexal NHL have unique incidence ...

AIMS To report the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with ocular adnexal marginal zone B cell lymphoma (MZBL) with IgG4-positive plasma cells. METHODS 114 biopsy samples of ocular adnexal MZBLs were analysed. MZBLs with IgG4-positive plasma cells were included when the IgG4:IgG ratio was >40% (IgG4-related group). The serum levels of each subclass of immunoglobulins and soluble ...

background and objectives: the diagnosis of pregnancy associated adnexal masses is rising due to routine utilization of sonography in prenatal care. the purpose of this study was to describe pregnancy associated adnexal masses over a period of 10 years. patients and methods: a retrospective study was reviewed hospital records of all pregnant women with adnexal mass that underwent surgical resec...

abstract: introduction: the prevalence of adnexal tumour has been reported to vary between one in eight thousands to 2.3% of pregnancies according to investigational techniques administered. broader use of ultrasonography in pregnancy and the increasing rate of caesarean section (c-section) could be expected to lead to the diagnosis of more adnexal tumours compared to previous studies. aim and ...

despite of the fact that the vulva contains a high density of apocrine and anogenital mammary glands in addition to eccrine glands and folliculosebaceous units, the benign vulvar adnexal tumours are rare. though the varied clinical presentation and diverse histopathological spectrum of vulvar neoplasms has amazed the pathologists, only few studies have been reported in literature. the present f...
