Beyond malignancy: Unravelling the Enigma of Meigs syndrome in ovarian fibroma

Meigs syndrome is characterised by the triad of ovarian fibroma associated with ascites and pleural effusion, the latter of which resolves after removal of the fibroma. This uncommon but important clinical entity mimics malignancy in postmenopausal females. We present two such cases.

Navigating obstetric enigma: Placenta accreta spectrum masquerading as gestational trophoblastic neoplasia

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) represents a complex obstetric condition characterised by the abnormal invasion of anchoring villi and trophoblast into the myometrium. This case report explores two instances where the diagnosis of PAS was overlooked during antenatal care leading to significant complications during conservative management. Both patients presented with heavy menstrual bleeding and raised beta human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-hCG), mimicking gestational trophoblastic disease. The report delves into the clinical presentations, diagnostic challenges, and outcomes of two cases, shedding light on the importance of effective communication and follow-up in the management of PAS.
