Cul-de-sac puncture for introduction of a culdoscope is easily made with the patient in the knee-chest position. With the use of the instrument, the pelvic organs can be viewed clearly. Culdoscopic examination of 45 patients was carried out. In all cases in which laparotomy was done after the examination, the culdoscopic observations and diagnosis were confirmed. In no case in which tubal pregnancy was present, was the diagnosis missed in culdoscopic examination. Patients were only slightly uncomfortable after the examination. There was no evidence of pelvic peritonitis in any patient, and no pregnant patient aborted as a result of the procedure. 相似文献

Echinococcosis is a multisystem disease and has propensity to involve any organ, an unusual anatomical site, and can mimic any disease process. Primary peritoneal echinococcosis is known to occur secondary to hepatic involvement but occasional cases of primary peritoneal hydatid disease including pelvic involvement have also been reported. We report here 1 such case of primary pelvic hydatidosis mimicking a malignant multicystic ovarian tumor where there was no evidence of involvement of the liver or spleen. Our patient, a 27-year-old female, was detected to have a large right cystic adnexal mass on per vaginal examination which was confirmed by ultrasonography. Her biochemical parameters were normal and CA-125 levels, though mildly raised, were below the cut off point. She underwent surgery and on exploratory laparotomy, another cystic mass was found attached to the mesentery of the small gut. The resected cysts were processed histopathologically. On cut sections both large cysts revealed numerous daughter cysts. Microscopic examination of fluid from the cysts revealed free scolices with hooklets and the cyst wall had a typical laminated membrane with inner germinal layer containing degenerated protoplasmic mass. The diagnosis of pelvic hydatid disease was confirmed and patient was managed accordingly. Hydatid disease must be considered while making the differential diagnosis of pelvic cystic masses, especially in endemic areas. 相似文献

Paravaginal hematoma is an unavoidable obstetrical complication, usually due to the traction and rupture of paravaginal veins by the oncoming presenting part. Pain, swelling, ecchymosis and urinary retention are the usual symptoms if the hematoma is located below the levator plate, while supralevator hematomas give no external manifestations. Early diagnosis could be made more often if digital examination of the pelvis were done routinely after the third stage of labor and before dismissal of the patient from the hospital, and done more frequently in postpartum patients with pelvic complaints. Active surgical intervention is advocated to avert needless destruction of tissue, prolonged morbidity, and delayed recovery. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic value of the noninvasive method of image-guided needle aspiration cytology (NAC) in the assessment of radiologically detected pelvic and retroperitoneal space-occupying lesions (excluding the pancreas, kidney and adrenal). STUDY DESIGN: NAC was performed under computed tomographic or ultrasound guidance on 112 patients suspected of having a pelvic or retroperitoneal mass. Cytologic examination was performed on site after staining smears with the Papanicolaou method. In addition, air-dried smears, fixed smears, filter preparations from needle washings and cell blocks were studied. The NAC diagnosis was supported by examining cell blocks; further support was obtained with a tissue biopsy in some cases. Additionally, pertinent immunoperoxidase and/or histochemical studies were done. RESULTS: Eighteen cases were diagnosed as inflammatory lesions, 17 cases consisted of normal cellular elements, and 12 cases showed scanty material and were considered unsatisfactory/inadequate for a diagnosis. Five cases were suspicious for malignancy, and in 39 cases metastatic tumors were diagnosed from a previously known primary. Thirteen cases were diagnosed as lymphoma, and in 8 cases a diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma was made. There were no false positive diagnoses of malignancy. Cell block preparations and immunohistochemistry were helpful with tumor typing, although lymphoma subtyping and soft tissue tumor typing generally required open biopsy. CONCLUSION: NAC, as the first-line investigation, is not only useful in the diagnosis of space-occupying lesions of the pelvic and retroperitoneal region but can also help in choosing appropriate management. The technique is most useful in diagnosing metastases but is also helpful in excluding malignancy in some cases and in suggesting diagnoses of lymphomas and soft tissue tumors. 相似文献

We report a case of intraocular gnathostomiasis diagnosed by western blot assay in a patient with subretinal tracks. A 15-year-old male patient complained of blurred vision in the right eye, lasting for 2 weeks. Eight months earlier, he had traveled to Vietnam for 1 week and ate raw wild boar meat and lobster. His best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes and anterior chamber examination revealed no abnormalities. Fundus examination showed subretinal tracks in the right eye. Fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography showed linear hyperfluorescence of the subretinal lesion observed on fundus in the right eye. Ultrasound examination revealed no abnormalities. Blood tests indicated mild eosinophilia (7.5%), and there was no abnormality found by systemic examinations. Two years later, the patient visited our department again for ophthalmologic evaluation. Visual acuity remained 20/20 in both eyes and the subretinal tracks in the right eye had not changed since the previous examination. Serologic examination was performed to provide a more accurate diagnosis, and the patient's serum reacted strongly to the Gnathostoma nipponicum antigen by western blot assay, which led to a diagnosis of intraocular gnathostomiasis. This is the first reported case of intraocular gnathostomiasis with subretinal tracks confirmed serologically using western blot in Korea. 相似文献

Data on 58 victims with multifocal damages to the pelvic ring were used to examine the diagnostic potentialities of different radiation diagnostic techniques and to compare their resolving power. The latter was 65.1, 83.3, and 94.7% in plain and multidimensional X-ray studies, and computed tomography, respectively. The paper describes the complex of signs of closed sacral fractures on plain X-ray films and oblique pelvic inlet (cauda), proposed by the authors, which could improve the diagnosis of fractures by 8.8 times, and an original orthopedic gauze-plate for the detection and estimation of invisible pelvic bone displacement, and an original procedure for pelvic X-ray study with targeted load in acute injury. This all can improve the quality of examination of the injured substantially and define indications for different treatments more correctly. 相似文献

A prostate biopsy screening (PSA = 2 ng/mL) evidenced a prostate adenocarcinoma featuring a Gleason score of 8 (4 + 4) in a 62-year-old patient incurring an increased familial risk of prostate cancer. In order to stage the prostate adenocarcinoma, 2 PET scans were ordered. A PET/CT examination with FNa disclosed two hot spots on distinct ribs matching with heterogeneous sclerotic areas on low dose CT. A PET/CT examination with FDG disclosed a hypermetabolic focus of prostate left lobe and a weak intensity hypermetabolic focus of left ilio-obturator node but no bone metabolic abnormality. Staging was categorized distant (bone) metastatic disease upon FNa PET/CT findings. The patient benefited from pelvic external beam radiation therapy and hormone therapy. One year later, a PET/CT examination with FCH while patient was still on hormone therapy depicted a photopaenic area of prostate left lobe and a questionable hypermetabolic focus of right lobe but no bone metabolic abnormality. Retrospectively, bone lesions visible on PET with FNa were already conspicuous on plain X-rays and a CT examination performed a decade before. A new advice in a center specialized in bone and joint imaging suggested a benign condition for these protracted rib lesions even if the exact benign condition was elusive (fibrous dysplasia, aneurysmal bone cyst…). Two years later, the patient is symptom-free and his PSA level is 0.03 ng/mL. 相似文献

This paper describes a case of asymptomatic multifocal actinomycosis of the greater omentum which was detected accidentally in a patient who was suspected of uterus myoma. The patient was a 40 year old woman who had a copper intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) for three years. After the gynecological examination and pelvic ultrasound she was diagnosed with sub serous myoma of uterus. Since she did not give a birth it was suggested to have myoma enucleating. However during the surgery a dermoid teratoma of the right ovary was detected so it was removed together with tumor and there were two thickenings on the greater omentum, suspicious of inflammation, whereas one grew together with the front abdominal wall. Due to these conditions, she had partial omentectomy done and omentum was sent for path histological examination. The path histological examination confirmed it to be actinomycosis. The patient had an intensive antibiotic therapy prescribed (Penicillin) in order to prevent a disease relapse because we could not be sure whether the remaining part of omentum was affected by microscopic actinomycosis. 相似文献

A case of pemphigus vulgaris is reported in which abnormal Papanicolaou smears continued prior to and after hysterectomy despite a normal pelvic examination. Microscopic foci of cervical pemphigus were found only in a retrospective study of the surgical material. Subclinical involvement of the cervicovaginal area with pemphigus, especially in a patient whose disease is apparently under control with steroids, can be a source of atypical Papanicolaou smears. The importance of careful colposcopic examination and clinical history is stressed for the gynecologist and cytopathologist, respectively. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) (Ki-1/CD-30 positive) is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder that may be of T cell or null cell type. ALCL has been reported in fine needle aspirations of lymph nodes and pleural or peritoneal fluid cytology. In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients, ALCL appears to be more common and run a more aggressive course. CASE: A 39-year-old black man, seropositive for HIV, presented with acute renal failure secondary to bilateral ureteral obstruction by a pelvic mass involving the urinary bladder. Bladder wash cytology and subsequent biopsy of the mass were diagnostic of ALCL. The ALCL was CD30+ and null cell type, with negative CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD20, CD45, CD79a, ALK-1, granzyme B, cytokeratin (AE1/AE3), placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) and S-100. The patient expired 9 months after the diagnosis, despite aggressive therapy. CONCLUSION: This is a rare occurrence of ALCL (CD 30 positive, null cell type) in the urinary bladder in an HIV+ patient. Presumptive diagnosis was made by bladder wash cytology and subsequently confirmed by biopsy. Urinary cytologic examination is a useful diagnostic tool. In HIV+/immunosuppressed patients with urinary symptoms and an obstructive mass, ALCL should be considered in the differential diagnosis. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Primary adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube is rare and not diagnosed until at an advanced stage. We present a case of carcinoma in situ of the fallopian tube in which cytologic examination obtained by hydrotubation facilitated the diagnosis. CASE: A 55-year-old woman presented to Yamaguchi Red Cross Hospital for uterine cancer screening. Endometrial brush cytology revealed adenocarcinoma cells, but endometrial curettage showed no abnormal findings. We performed hydrotubation, collecting abdominal fluid by culdocentesis for cytology. The smear test showed adenocarcinoma with cells similar to those obtained by endometrial brush cytology. Laparotomy showed no abnormalities in the abdominal cavity, and pelvic washing cytology was negative. Based on the positive cytology found by hydrotubation, we performed a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Postsurgical histology revealed adenocarcinoma in situ of the fallopian tube. CONCLUSION: The present case suggests that cytologic examination obtained by hydrotubation may be useful in diagnosing early tubal cancer. 相似文献

To evaluate the relative importance of the medical history, the physical examination, and laboratory investigations in the diagnosis and management of medical outpatients some physicians recorded their diagnosis and a prediction of the method of managementafter reading the patient''s referral letter, again after taking the history, and againafter performing the physical examination. These diagnoses and predictions were compared with the diagnosis and method of management which had been adopted two months after the patient''s initial attendance. A diagnosis that agreed with the one finally accepted was made after reading the referral letter and taking the history in 66 out of 80 new patients; the physical examination was useful in only seven patients, and the laboratory investigations in a further seven. In only one of six patients in whom the physician was unable to make any diagnosis after taking the history and examining the patient did laboratory investigations lead to a positive diagnosis. 相似文献

A patient presented with deep venous thrombosis and an elevated CA-125 level, but normal pelvic ultrasound and abdominal and pelvic CT scans. Laparoscopy revealed diffuse carcinomatosis and a diagnosis of stage IIIc, poorly differentiated epithelial ovarian carcinoma was made. Laparoscopy may provide an alternative means of diagnosis when conventional imaging fails, and may facilitate the placement of catheters for subsequent intraperitoneal therapy. 相似文献

A 66-year-old man presented with a six-month history of neurologic symptoms suggestive of a craniospinal tumor or a diffuse inflammatory process in the subarachnoid space. Cytologic examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) revealed inflammatory changes and malignant melanin-containing cells, leading to a diagnosis of meningeal spread of a melanoma. There was no history of skin excisions and no clinical evidence of primary melanoma of the eye. Neuroradiologic investigations, including CT and myelography, to confirm the diagnosis were negative. Despite intrathecal cytostatic therapy, the patient died eight months after the onset of symptoms. Autopsy disclosed diffuse meningeal melanoblastosis of the spinal cord and the base of the brain, confirming the cytologic diagnosis. In addition, two micrometastases in the liver were found as only extraneural manifestation. This case emphasizes the importance of CSF cytology in the diagnosis of diffuse infiltrating processes in the subarachnoid space. 相似文献

Cytologic examination of 9,000 specimens of mucoid material taken from the cervices of 3,000 women who had no clinically observable vaginal abnormality was carried out. Sixteen of them had carcinoma, later proved by tissue examination. In 15 cases the lesion was epidermoid carcinoma of the cervix and in one was adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. Routine use of examination of mucoid specimens easily and painlessly obtained from the vagina should contribute substantially to a lower mortality from pelvic carcinoma. 相似文献

A series of 127 patients presenting at two London hospitals with carcinoma of the vulva during the period 1948-70 is reviewed. Patients with intraepithelial carcinoma or rodent ulcer are excluded, but the series includes two cases of malignant melanoma, one of adenocarcinoma of Bartholin''s gland, and two of basal cell carcinoma. In the remainder the pathological diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma.Leucoplakia was present in only 30 cases (24%) and it is therefore concluded that this condition is probably not so dangerous as a precursor of cancer as has been stated in the past, though an association with cancer of the vulva is undeniable.In only three cases was no form of treatment practicable. Of the remaining 124, two were treated by radiotherapy, 37 by simple vulvectomy, 12 by vulvectomy followed by separate inguinal lymphadenectomy, and 73 by radical vulvectomy combined with bilateral lymphadenectomy en bloc, pelvic lymphadenectomy being included whenever the superficial lymph nodes appeared to be involved or when Cloquet''s node was shown by frozen-section examination to be invaded. Excellent results, with an absolute five-year survival rate of 66%, were obtained with this last procedure, especially when primary skin cover was provided by the delayed technique (five-year survival 73%). The results of simple vulvectomy were also surprisingly good, with an absolute five-year survival rate of 65%, and this operation may be a wise choice for the very old or infirm patient. 相似文献

The paper deals with an algorithm for the radiodiagnosis of pelvic injuries. The examination of victims with pelvic injuries allows one to state that multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) can define the type of pelvic ring instability and the nature of fragment displacement, visualize all types of fractures of pelvic bones and cotyloid cavity walls, and reveal intrapelvic hematomas, as well as changes in adjacent soft tissues, sacroiliac joints, intrapelvic vessels and organs. MSCT angiography is a technique that can be successfully used at different stages of diagnosis and as the first imaging method or as a pre-examination one if the diagnosis is established and as a control study. The scope and quality of obtained information are generally sufficient to make a decision on treatment policy. 相似文献

Isolated splenic peliosis is an extremely rare occurrence, and this disease often manifests itself with spontaneous haemoperitoneum.We report a case where an otherwise healthy patient was found to have splenomegaly on clinical examination. On computerised tomography, a diagnosis of splenic malignancy was made, and the patient underwent a splenectomy. Histological examination gave the diagnosis of splenic peliosis, which had not been considered prior to the operation. In retrospect, splenectomy was the most prudent course of action, as the risk of spontaneous haemorrhage and fatality was eliminated. This case emphasises the need to retain an index of suspicion for this condition, even in otherwise healthy patients, and is a reminder of the usefulness of total splenectomy in the current era of minimally invasive diagnostic techniques. 相似文献
