Unusual recurrence in advanced ovarian cancer after interval cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC

Ovarian cancer is the second most fatal gynaecological malignancy. The relapses after treatment of ovarian cancer usually occur within 2 years after completion of the first-line therapy. Recurrent ovarian cancer commonly presents as peritoneal surface deposits in the abdomen with or without ascites. A delayed relapse presenting as a solitary lesion in the urinary bladder wall is unusual in patients treated for advanced ovarian cancer. We report the successful management of a case of solitary metastasis of ovarian cancer in the urinary bladder wall, which occurred more than 6 years after achieving a complete remission state.

Partial molar pregnancy as ruptured tubal ectopic

Tubal molar pregnancy is extremely rare, and less than 200 cases have been reported in the literature. The incidence is approximated at 1.5 per 1 000 000 pregnancies. We report a case of ruptured tubal pregnancy in a woman, whose postoperative histopathology diagnosis showed partial molar pregnancy in the ruptured fallopian tube. The presence of abnormal, non-polar trophoblast proliferation, which is circumferential with vacuolation, along with sheets of pleomorphic extravillous trophoblast, is the main diagnosing feature, and it carries the risk of malignant potential.
