OBJECTIVE: Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS) causes intravaginal lesions and symptoms that could be mistaken for sexually transmitted diseases or cancer. In adults, FGS lesions [grainy sandy patches (GSP), homogenous yellow patches (HYP), abnormal blood vessels and rubbery papules] are refractory to treatment. The effect of treatment has never been explored in young women; it is unclear if gynaecological investigation will be possible in this young age group (16-23 years). We explored the predictors for accepting anti-schistosomal treatment and/or gynaecological reinvestigation in young women, and the effects of anti-schistosomal mass-treatment (praziquantel) on the clinical manifestations of FGS at an adolescent age...

INTRODUCTION: Bowel bladder dysfunction (BBD) is common in children. Risk factors for BBD include age, gender, obesity, and behavioral issues such as ADHD. We investigated the modified Swedish Bowel-Bladder questionnaire as a sensitive indicator of BBD in healthy children. OBJECTIVES: We tested the usefulness of the Swedish Bowel-Bladder Questionnaire (BBQ) as an indicator of BBD in children not complaining of bowel/bladder dysfunction at the time of their visit to a pediatric urologist...

AIM: Ovarian surveillance in women with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer who do not undergo risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy has been controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to demonstrate the clinical features of ovarian surveillance at our institution using a technique that combines serum cancer antigen 125 measurements, transvaginal ultrasonography, and uterine endometrial cytology. METHODS: We retrospectively examined 65 women, who had not undergone risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy diagnosed with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer between 2000 and 2021 at our hospital...

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital vascular disorder characterized by wine stains, abnormal tissue and bone growth, and vascular malformations. Genital involvement is uncommon. We report a case of a 12-year-old female with KTS who experienced recurrent profuse vaginal bleeding and provide a comprehensive literature review on KTS cases with genital involvement. The literature reports 7 cases, mainly in individuals aged 25 to 45, presenting with uncontrollable vaginal bleeding and anemia. Endovascular interventions were the primary treatment, although surgery was necessary in some cases...

INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer is a significant public health concern in Jordan. It is the most common cancer among Jordanian women. Despite its high incidence and advanced stage at time of diagnosis, the uptake of breast cancer screening in Jordan is low. This study aims to compare clinical outcomes of both screening and diagnostic mammogram among women in Jordan. METHODS: A retrospective cohort of 1005 women who underwent mammography in breast imaging unit in a tertiary hospital in Jordan...

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is rare during pregnancy. It is characterized by necrotizing lymphadenitis and often occurs in young Asian women. We report a case of KFD during pregnancy, which was difficult to diagnose. A 37-year-old pregnant female (gestational week [GW] 7+5 ) was admitted to our hospital because of hyperemesis gravidarum. On the eighth day of hospitalization (GW 8+6 ), she suddenly developed a fever (38.0°C) with skin rash and posterior pharynx redness. Blood tests showed pancytopenia and abnormal liver function...

Autosomal recessive ROR2-Robinow syndrome is caused by pathogenic variants in the ROR2 gene. Fetal ultrasound done on our patient at 24 + 3/7 weeks gestation showed macrocephaly, brachycephaly, flat face, prominent forehead, mild frontal bossing, lower thoracic hemivertebrae, digital abnormalities and micropenis. Fetal trio whole exome sequencing done on amniocytes showed two pathogenic compound heterozygous variants in the ROR2 gene, c.1324 C > T; p.(Arg442*) maternally inherited and c.1366dup; p...

Cervicovaginal cancer (CVC) is the most common malignancy of the genital tract. Colposcopy is a diagnostic procedure that is used to examine the cervix and tissue samples of the urethra and vulva in a magnified view. The colposcopy and histological findings of unhealthy cervixes in a tertiary care hospital were compared. This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2022 to March 2023 among women with a variety of gynecological complaints who visited the Department of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in a tertiary care facility...

OBJECTIVE: Kleefstra syndrome (KS), formerly known as 9q subtelomeric deletion syndrome, is characterized by multiple structural abnormalities. However, most fetuses do not have obvious abnormal phenotypes. In this study, the fetus with KS presented with multiple system structural anomalies, and we aimed to explore the genotype-phenotype correlations of KS fetuses. CASE REPORT: Multiple systematic structural anomalies, including severe intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and cardiac defects, were detected by ultrasound in the fetus at 33 + 5 weeks' gestation...

Adenocarcinoma, HPV-independent, mesonephric type (hereafter referred to as "mesonephric carcinoma") arising from the cervix is rare, its treatment has not been established, and its sensitivity to chemotherapy has not been fully investigated. Here we report on a 30-year-old female patient who presented at our hospital with a chief complaint of abnormal genital bleeding. We suspected cervical cancer. Based on examination, biopsy, and imaging, she was diagnosed with stage IIA2 adenocarcinoma of the cervix and was scheduled for surgery...

BACKGROUND: First, a logistic regression model, based on maternal demographic characteristics and medical history and blood pressure at 11-13 weeks' gestation, can identify about 70% of women who develop future chronic hypertension (CH) in the three years following pregnancy, at screen positive rate of 10%. Second, at mid-gestation women who subsequently develop hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) have increased peripheral vascular resistance and mild cardiac functional and morphological alterations and these cardiovascular abnormalities persist for at least 2 years after delivery...

Progestin therapy is a fertility-sparing treatment option for well-differentiated stage IA endometrioid carcinomas without myometrial invasion. Here, we present a case of successful pregnancy and live birth following long-term progestin therapy in a patient with stage II well-differentiated endometrioid carcinoma. A 30-year-old nulliparous woman with an unremarkable medical history presented with abnormal uterine bleeding. A 45 mm mass was identified in the lower uterine segment. An endometrial biopsy revealed grade 1 endometrioid carcinoma, leading to a diagnosis of stage II uterine corpus cancer based on hysteroscopic findings...
