Anastomosing hemangioma of the ovary: a rare benign tumor

Anastomosing hemangioma (AH) is a rare benign lesion that is asymptomatic in the majority of cases. Herein, we present the case of a 26-year-old woman with acute lower abdominal pain for 5 months. The patient subsequently developed symptoms of hyperestrogenism with prolonged menstrual periods. The possibility of malignancy could not be ruled out via ultrasonography and computed tomography. The tumor was completely removed using laparoscopic surgery, and pathological examination confirmed AH of the ovary.

Advancing understanding of HIFU in uterine fibroids: A meta-review on postoperative recovery and surgical wound healing

Background: This meta-analysis provides a novel perspective on postoperative wound recovery after uterine fibroid surgery, focusing on pain, menstrual blood loss, fibroid volume, complications, and quality of life. Methods: A comprehensive search for relevant studies was performed in the PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, the Cochrane Library, Embase, and Google Scholar databases. Various combinations and permutations of the keywords “uterine fibroid” and “high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)” were used to retrieve studies. Articles published until April 2024 were eligible for inclusion. The titles and abstracts of all retrieved articles were screened to assess their relevance. Subsequently, the full texts of the selected articles were reviewed to determine their eligibility for inclusion in the meta-analysis. Results: The analysis reveals that HIFU can minimize pain and improve the quality of life of patients with uterine fibroids. Specifically, the observational group treated with HIFU experienced reduced pain, decreased menstrual blood loss, fibroid volume, and complications. Conclusion: Our findings serve as valuable reference points for clinicians in treating uterine fibroids.

Diagnostic Value of Ultrasound in Primary Cervical Ewing's Sarcoma: Two Case Reports and Literature Review

ABSTRACT Primary cervical Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is a rare malignant small round cell tumor that develops outside the bone, with a generally poor prognosis. Clinical symptoms are nonspecific, posing challenges for early diagnosis. In this report, we present two cases of middle‐aged women presenting with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Neither human papillomavirus typing nor blood tests showed specific abnormalities. Ultrasound examination identified uneven hypoechoic lesions with well‐defined borders in the cervix, and color Doppler imaging showed punctate linear blood flow signals within the lesions. Histopathological biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of primary ES of the uterine cervix. Both patients achieved favorable prognoses following a combined treatment of surgery and chemotherapy. This study highlights the value of ultrasound imaging in aiding the timely diagnosis of this rare malignancy.

Ultrasound is helpful to diagnose and identify aggressive angiomyxoma: A case report

Abstract Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare kind of neoplasm derived from mesenchyma, which is easily confused with other superficial masses. Here, we present a 21‐year‐old young female with a 2‐year history of a mass in the right vulva. The patient's laboratory analysis yielded unremarkable results. Ultrasound examination revealed the presence of a heterogeneous solid mass in the right vulva with blood flow. Enhanced computed tomography imagines showed a capsular neoplasm in the posterior the perineal region without obvious enhancement. The patient received surgery. Biopsy after surgery revealed that the tumor was AAM. The patient was followed up regularly. In this article, we will describe sonographic and computed tomography imagines, histologic features of AAM, and review the related literature.
