A case of perforation of the uterus by the Multiload Cu250 IUD in a 28 year old Malay woman is presented. The Multiload Cu250 is a newer device, introduced in 1974, and the mode of insertion (withdrawal) makes perforation with this IUD unlikely and to date no such case had been reported. The patient, para 3, had a period of amenorrhea of 7 weeks. A menstrual regulation procedure was performe...

Almost all cases of abdominal pregnancy follow early rupture or abortion of a tubal pregnancy into the peritoneal cavity. In very rare cases of uterine rupture the fetus may be extruded into the peritoneal cavity while the placenta remains functional within the uterus and the gestation continues as a uteroabdominal pregnancy [1]. We present a rare case of, uteroabdominal pregnancy following ute...

Spontaneous uterine rupture and generalized peritonitis caused by pyometra occurs rarely with high morbidity and mortality. A correct and definite diagnosis can be made with laparotomy or laparoscopy. The clinical findings of perforated pyometra are similar to perforation of the gastrointestinal tract and gynecologic symptoms are less frequent, which makes preoperative diagnosis difficult. We r...

Interdigitating Dendritic Cell Sarcoma (IDCS) is an infrequent dendritic cell tumor which mainly affects the lymphatic system. Intestinal metastasis from uterine IDCS is extremely rare. Here we report a case of a 76-year-old female presenting with vaginal bleeding and acute abdomen. The final diagnosis revealed a small bowel perforation due to metastatic involvement from uterine cervix IDCS. In...

Intrauterine device (IUD), a conventional method of contraception is rarely associated with uterine perforation and extra uterine dislocation. A 29 years old woman complaining of vaginal bleeding was referred for pelvic mass identified in ultrasound. The mass was confirmed with CT scan. In laparatomy we found an IUD in cul-de-sac and pelvic mass was apparently an organized hematoma. Transmigrat...

Pseudolipomatosis refers to optically clear vacuoles that artifactually contaminate specimens, and it most commonly affects the gastrointestinal tract. Pseudolipomatosis closely resembles adult white fat and is of group "A" or "B" when vacuoles have mild or marked variation in size, respectively. Pseudolipomatosis has yet to be reported to occur in the endometrium. Pseudolipomatosis in the endo...

Spontaneous uterine perforation resulting in generalized peritonitis postmenopausal women is a very rare entity usually caused by pyometra and associated with high morbidity mortality. The clinical picture of secondary to are similar hollow viscus which makes preoperative diagnosis difficult. Definitive can be made laparotomy or laparoscopy. We report case 62 years old female patient who presen...

Hysteroscopic myomectomy is the surgical procedure of choice for the treatment of submucous or intramural myomas that protrude into the uterine cavity in patients with abnormal bleeding and/or infertility. It is a minimally invasive procedure associated with a low complication rate. Complications of hysteroscopy include uterine perforation, intraoperative and postoperative uterine bleeding, wat...

Purpose There are no reports on pre-insertion identification of cervix cancer patients at risk for uterine perforation during brachytherapy (BT). Our aim was to assess the incidence of risk factors in our patient cohort, and assess feasibility of a novel technique of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided navigation for applicator insertion (NAI) in high-risk cases. Material and methods All ...
