In the present case, FloSeal was used in combination with transfusions, NovoSeven (recombinant activated human factor VIIa; Novo Nordisk, Copenhagen, Denmark) and compression to achieve hemostasis in a patient with postpartum bleeding and hypofibrinogenemia due to primary acute fatty liver of pregnancy. The patient presented with signs of acute hepatic failure, modified renal failure and bleeding disorder at week 37 of pregnancy. She suffered persistent hemorrhage after a soft vacuum‐assisted delivery. Local hemostasis was achieved, but not maintained and met...

During emergent laparotomy, the entire amniotic sac was found in the peritoneal cavity with a rupture of the uterine fundus. Although we could not confirm that the appearance of upper gastrointestinal symptoms and severe vomiting was associated with uterine rupture in this pregnant woman, abdominal symptoms or signs might be a hint or cause of severe catastrophic pregnancy‐related complications.

A 49‐year‐old nulliparous woman presented with a left lower abdominal mass. Although extremely rare, the radiological appearance is able to preoperatively identify malignant retroperitoneal masses, such as leiomyosarcomas originating from the ovarian vein; thus, the patient underwent a simple total excision of the mass‐adjacent organs, as well as complete resection of the uterus, bilateral adnexae and the left ovarian vein. Adjuvant postoperative combination chemotherapy with gemcitabine and docetaxel was administered. At 22 months, she had no recurrence or metastasis. Delayed diagnosis and high metastatic potentiality are associated with the high morbidity of va...

Jaundice appeared in a woman with hyperemesis gravidarum and an ultrasound revealed biliary sludge. Hydration concomitantly ameliorated the symptoms, jaundice and the biliary sludge. Another woman with hyperemesis gravidarum showed elevated aminotransferases, with biliary sludge also being present. Hydration ameliorated the symptoms and liver dysfunction, and reduced the total bilirubin level. Biliary sludge appeared, but was ameliorated according to the symptoms of hyperemesis gravidarum.

Prenatal ultrasound visualized dilated bowel, intraperitoneal calcifications, ascites, hydroceles and polyhydramnios, giving the impression of meconium peritonitis. The fetal abdomen continued to increased in size, and maternal dyspnea due to polyhydramnios was aggravated. She underwent a cesarean section at 36 + 1 weeks' gestation. The delivery was followed by severe neonatal respiratory distress due to the huge mass in the abdomen. The tumor was successfully removed by emergency surgery and diagnosed as immature gastric teratoma. No other associated anomaly was found. The infant made a good progress after the operation.

Adenocarcinoma arising from MCT is especially rare. We herein present the case of a premenopausal woman with a mucinous borderline‐like tumor arising from a MCT. Based on the histological transition between the borderline‐like tumor and gastrointestinal elements of the MCT, we consider that the tumor derived from teratomatous gastrointestinal epithelium. Immunohistochemistry showed that the proliferating mucinous cells were diffusely positive for cytokeratin 20 and partially positive for cytokeratin 7. MUC5AC was partially positive, whereas MUC2 and MUC6 were positive in a small number of tumor cells. The immunophenotype of cytokeratins and mucins in the present case ...

Her family history revealed an older sister with Swyer syndrome and gonadectomy at another institution. After thorough evaluation she received the same diagnosis, but unlike her sister, she refused gonadectomy. Four years later she presented with abdominal discomfort and a complex pelvic mass. She underwent exploratory laparotomy and histological examination revealed bilateral dysgerminoma without capsular invasion. The tumor was classified as stage IB. After surgery she underwent adjuvant chemotherapy with three cycles of BEP (bleomycin + etoposide + cisplatin). The present case emphasizes the importance of familial screening with a karyotype study in pure gonadal dysg...

The rupture of carotid‐cavernous aneurysm is usually caused by a trauma. Nevertheless, spontaneous rupture may rarely be encountered. Here, we report a term pregnant woman who was diagnosed to have a spontaneous carotid‐cavernous fistula due to carotid‐cavernous aneurysm rupture and was managed with detachable balloon and coils immediately after cesarean section.

Tissues obtained by endometrial curettage were immunopositive for p53, but there was no definite malignancy. At age 73, cytology again showed abnormalities, so we repeated complete endometrial curettage. Again, there was no malignancy, but p53 immunostaining was widely positive. At age 75, hysterectomy was performed because cytological examination showed increasingly abnormal findings and the patient opted for surgery. In the resected uterus, endometrial glands were replaced by malignant cells resembling papillary serous carcinoma cells with high‐grade nuclei, but there was no stromal or myometrial invasion. The pathological diagnosis was intraepithelial serous endometrial ca...

The coexistence of anencephaly with a contiguous spinal defect (craniorachischisis totalis) makes the present case one of the rarest of the published cases. In our case, it was difficult to make the final diagnosis by two‐dimensional abdominal and vaginal ultrasound. Three‐dimensional ultrasound was helpful for final diagnosis and post‐abortal examination confirmed the prenatal ultrasound diagnosis. The heart, diaphragm, liver and perineum were all united. Fine dissection of the heart showed four vessels arising from the ventricles and a membranous type ventricular septal defect. (Source: Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaeco...

Owing to strong attachment and dissemination of the tumor, it was unresectable. Adult‐type granulosa cell tumor (AGCT) was diagnosed based on pathological examination. Considering her poor condition, she was advised to receive total supportive care. However, she was lost to follow‐up after a few months. Subsequently, she visited our hospital with abdominal distension. A large abdominal tumor and liver metastasis was observed on abdominal computed tomography (CT). We selected palliative radiotherapy to relieve her of the symptoms. External beam radiotherapy was delivered to the affected data. No acute adverse effects were observed.

A 29‐year‐old multipara, who had previously undergone a cesarean section, was admitted to our hospital for vaginal bleeding. An emergency cesarean section was carried out at the 33rd week of gestation. Uterine bleeding was uncontrollable, and hence, hysterectomy was planned. However, before hysterectomy, B‐Lynch brace suture was carried out to control the massive bleeding; moreover, the suturing technique enabled uterine artery embolization to be carried out as an interventional radiological technique. A good postoperative course was observed, and thus, a secondary hysterectomy was not required. A combination of the B‐Lynch brace suture technique and uterine artery embolization may be an alternative treatment for emergen...

High‐dose immunoglobulin treatment is very effective as prenatal treatment for recurrent neonatal hemochromatosis. A 34‐year‐old pregnant Japanese woman underwent high‐dose immunoglobulin treatment for recurrent neonatal hemochromatosis. High‐dose non‐specific intravenous immunoglobulin (1 g/kg bodyweight) was administered to the mother intravenously every week from 18 until 36 gestational weeks. A male infant was delivered at 37 weeks of gestation, and his condition was favorable, including hepatic function. The use of γ‐globulin for neonatal hemochromatosis appears adequately validated by experience.

PP‐BMI and mean HbA1c (but not GWG‐W) were significant predictors of macrosomia. Thus, without ceasing in our efforts to improve glycemic control during GDM pregnancies, patients with overweight/obesity need to be treated prior to becoming pregnant.

A 36‐year‐old woman, whose infection status was undetermined, was diagnosed with severe FGR at 24 weeks' gestation. The fetal karyotype was normal. EBV DNA was detected in the amniotic fluid and maternal immunoglobulin G antibodies were positive. At 30 weeks' gestation, the fetus died spontaneously. Placental examination found evidence of deciduitis and villitis. Reactivation of EBV infection appears to be related to FGR and warrants further research to determine the optimal management strategy in pregnancy.

She had intrauterine balloon tamponade for unexplained primary PPH after spontaneous vaginal delivery, and subsequent angiography showed no abnormal contrast extravasation. However, profuse vaginal bleeding occurred 22 days postpartum. Color Doppler ultrasonography demonstrated an anechoic mass with turbulent flow in the lower uterine segment, corresponding to uterine artery pseudoaneurysm. She was successfully treated with selective uterine arterial embolization. Decreased levels of von Willebrand factor and factor VIII led to the diagnosis of von Willebrand disease.

We reviewed a variety of clinicopathological features, treatment strategies, and outcomes in three women with GCC. The three patients were successfully treated by radical hysterectomy with pelvic/para‐aortic lymphadenectomy. The patients had stage Ib1, stage IIa, and stage Ib2 tumors without lymph node metastases. A 44‐year‐old woman with stage Ib1 tumor did not undergo adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation therapy. She had recurrent pelvic tumors 12 months after surgery, and died 6 months after the recurrent disease. The histological findings of her cervix, which were different from the other two patients, did not show the marked...

A large and well‐circumscribed tumor also existed on the fetal surface of the placenta, which was histologically diagnosed as chorangioma after delivery. Polyhydramnios was obvious and the fetal heart enlarged progressively during pregnancy. Because the biophysical profiling score dropped to 4 points at 33 weeks of gestation, we carried out cesarean section. By epigenetic analysis, H19‐differentially methylated region hypermethylation was observed in the placental tumor, normal placental tissue, and cord blood mononuclear cells. This is the first report of BWS with placental tumor due to H19‐differentially methylated region hypermethylation.

This 2D ultrasound evaluation includes a morphological assessment, color/power and pulsed Doppler sonographic assessment, scoring system, and contrast agent assessment of adnexal masses. The introduction of three‐dimensional (3D) ultrasound would facilitate the novel assessment of adnexal masses. With the recent advance in 3D power Doppler (3DPD) ultrasound as well as quantitative 3DPD histogram analysis, quantitative and qualitative assessments of the vascularization and blood flow of adnexal masses have become feasible. These novel techniques may assist in the evaluation of adnexal malignancy, and offer potential advantages relative to conventional...

Subsequently the patient underwent laparoscopic left salpingo‐oophorectomy and the specimen was submitted for intraoperative frozen section, which revealed a high‐grade carcinoma; therefore, she underwnt a laparotomy and total abdominal hysterectomy, right salpingo‐oophorectomy and omentectomy. Histopathology revealed high‐grade transitional cell carcinoma in the left fallopian tube. Post‐surgery she was treated with four cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel with no complications.

The pathological diagnosis was a urachal mucinous cystadenoma with borderline malignancy. Twelve years later, multiple masses were noted on the uterus, ovaries and abdominal wall. She underwent debulking surgery, including a total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy, pelvic lymph node dissection, infracolic omentectomy, appendectomy, colon mass removal and abdominal wall mass removal. Remnants of the tumor were seeded throughout the abdominal cavity. The pathological evaluation confirmed metastatic urachal mucinous adenocarcinoma in both ovaries, the abdominal wall, the colon mass, the uterosacral ligament and the bladder.

For a more accurate diagnosis and detection of other fetal anomalies, complementary fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed. Findings of fetal MRI evaluation were consistent with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). Parental mutation analysis in the PKHD1 gene was performed. By PKHD1 mutation analysis, we were able to identify a heterozygous missense mutation in exon 20 (K626R) in the father. Molecular genetic analysis can be helpful for an early and reliable prenatal diagnosis of ARPKD. Herein, we present a case of ARPKD that was diagnosed at 22 weeks of gestation by ultrasonographic examination and MRI and verified by PKHD1 mutation ana...

In normal fetuses, the stomach, gallbladder and bladder could be depicted. In particular, peristalsis of the stomach was noted. In the case of holoprosencephaly, fused hemispheres were evident. In the case of hydrocephalus, the enlargement of ventricular cavities was noted. In the case of bilateral pleural effusion, the spatial relationship and size of the effusions were depicted. In the case of meconium peritonitis, the spatial relationship between the dilated intestines and ascites was depicted. In two cases of hydronephrosis, the dilated renal pelvis and calyces were clearly shown. In the case of multicystic dys...

However, LSH showed a definitive improvement of the symptoms, and a better life quality profile. Further controlled prospective studies are required for identifying the best surgical approach in women with HMB.

Although presumed to be the consequence of interactions between genetic and environmental factors, so far, it is not known which genes are involved in the pathogenesis of these malformations. NTD affecting both fetuses in a twin gestation is a rare event. In view of this rarity, we present a case of dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy with spina bifida in both fetuses concordantly. This gestation was preceeded by another dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy that was complicated by placental abruption.

Induction of labor was successful, and the patient delivered a healthy male baby. Soon after delivery, she was treated with chemotherapy using all‐trans‐retinoic acid (ATRA). The number of white blood cells was increased on the fifth postpartum day and retinoic acid syndrome (RAS) was considered a concern. On the sixth postpartum day, remission induction chemotherapy with idarubicin and cytosine arabinoside was started. On the seventh postpartum day, massive uterine bleeding of more than 1300 mL suddenly occurred. As administration of cytotoxic agents may induce disseminated intravascular coagulation, we should take care to avoid uterine bleeding after chemotherapy in acute promyelocy...

The mass was excised completely and pathologically diagnosed as a prepubertal vulval fibroma and ectopic breast fibroadenoma. The patient was followed up for 10 months and no evidence of recurrence was observed. Prepubertal vulval fibroma and vulval ectopic breast fibroadenoma should be considered in their preoperative differential diagnosis of a vulval mass, especially in prepubertal girls. Pathologically, immunohistochemical staining for vimentin and CD34 is valuable for diagnosis. Complete surgical excision is effective and long‐term follow up is necessary.

On immunohistochemistry, neoplastic glands were cytokeratin 7‐negative and cytokeratin 20‐positive, indicating a gastrointestinal origin rather than a primary ovarian mucinous neoplasm. A diagnosis of uterine metastasis of appendiceal origin was made, based on the constellation of clinicopathological findings, that is, preceding appendiceal neoplasm, peritoneal involvement, absence of coexisting prototypical endometrioid adenocarcinoma or endometrial hyperplasia. The patient underwent hysterectomy and there was no evidence of disease progression at the 12�...

The patient was a 39‐year‐old Japanese woman who delivered by cesarean section at 38 weeks of gestation. She required a second operation to treat re‐bleeding of the surgical scar, but it was difficult to schedule this surgery because we could not obtain enough blood for transfusion due to the presence of anti‐Dib antibodies. These antibodies were likely acquired during pregnancy; she did not have irregular antibodies at 11 weeks of gestation. We speculate that she became sensitized to fetal blood due to feto‐maternal hemorrhage. The infant had no hemolytic conditions. Testing for the presence of irregular antibodies should be performed during late stages of pregnancy as well as early stages. ...

For women with type 1 diabetes mellitus and end‐stage renal disease, this procedure not only treats their disease but may also allow them to have children. Worldwide, 77 pregnancies from 43 pancreas‐kidney recipients have been reported. Here, we present the first case report of successful pregnancy after simultaneous pancreas‐kidney transplantation from a brain‐dead donor in Japan. She conceived spontaneously 32 months after transplantation. Her pregnancy course was favorable except for mild rejection of the grafted pancreas and development of gestational diabetes.
