Abstract

Serous borderline tumor of the fallopian tube is a very rare entity and is usually diagnosed incidentally. We present here such a case which is incidentally diagnosed during lower segment cesarean section. Patient is a 31 year old lady who presented at 38 wks of gestation, underwent Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS). A 3.5 cm thin walled benign looking cyst protruding from the fimbrial end of the left tube was found. The contralateral fallopian tube and ovaries were unremarkable. Exploration of the abdomino-pelvic cavity has showed no other abnormal finding. Cystectomy was performed. On histopathology diagnosis of serous borderline tumor (SBT) of the fallopian tube was made which was further confirmed by Wilm's Tumor 1 (WT1) staining. In literature, only 9 cases have been reported. And the current case is the first report in Pakistan as far as we know. Treatment for SBTs of fallopian tube is complete excision like borderline ovarian tumor. Recurrence has not been reported with up to 6 years follow up in 9 cases.

Abstract

Leiomyoma of the urinary bladder is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor and accounts for less than 0.43% of all bladder tumors. It occurs more frequently in young and middle age women and is extremely rare in children. The present case to the best of our knowledge represents the third reported case of leiomyoma of urinary bladder in children. This case was initially diagnosed on radiological assessment by ultrasound and computed tomography. The histopathological and immunohistochemical findings of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyoma. We, herein, present a rare case report of leiomyoma of the urinary bladder in paediatric age group.
