The symptoms of ovarian tumor are not specific and a rare presentation of the tumor is as the content of an inguinal hernia. We reported a case of an 82-year-old woman, diagnosed with breast cancer and with a concomitant hypoecoic adnexal mass at the ecographic exam. The patient was treated with conservative breast surgery and laparotomy. A cystic-solid ovarian lesion was found inside the right inguinal canal. Frozen-section examination was negative for malignancy, and the anatomopathological analysis revealed a borderline ovarian tumor.

Benign metastazing leiomyomatosis (BML) is a rare disease in which the lung is the most affected extra-uterine organ. The BML histology is compatible with benignity and similar to that found in the myometrial leiomyoma. A history of surgically treated uterine myomatosis is reported by most of the patients with metastatic disease. We report the cases of two patients with uterine metastazing leiomyomatosis. In the first case, a 55-year-old patient presented lung nodes over 20 years after being submitted to hysterectomy due to uterine leiomyoma. The histological and immunohistochemical studies from the lung node revealed that it was an implant of benign leiomyoma. The second patient, a 65-years-old woman, presented lung and retroperitoneal nodes 20 years after being submitted to a hysterectomy due to uterine leiomyoma.

Desmoid tumor is a noncapsulated neoplasia, locally aggressive, originated from the fibroblasts of the musculo-aponeurotic tissues. Even though with no malignant behavior, such as the ability of generating metastasis or of invasion, the desmoid tumor has a high tendency for local growth, causing deformities in the adjacent organs, pain and sometimes organ dysfunction, depending on the area involved. We report the case of a large intra-abdominal desmoid tumor, invading pelvic organs in a 53 year-old patient. The neoplasia has been totally extirpated and, at the moment, five years after the surgery, the patient presents no clinical or radiologic sign of lesion relapse.

The occurrence of primary lymphomas of the female genital tract is rare. The diagnosis is usually not possible by the cytological examination; a tissue biopsy is necessary. The present paper reports two patients referred to our service with a diagnosis of cervical lymphoma. In one of them, the diagnostic difficulties are demonstrated. Both patients were submitted to chemotherapy with satisfactory post-operatory period. There is no standard treatment for uterine lymphomas. Exclusive local treatment is supported by some reports in the literature in clinical stage IE, while others prefer systemic treatment irrespective of clinical stage.

Heterotopic gestation, characterized by the presence of combined topic and ectopic gestation, until recently was considered to be a rare event occurring in 1:30,000 pregnancies. With the appearance of assisted reproduction techniques, this incidence increased to 1:100-500 gestations. Early diagnosis is difficult and frequently is made when the uterine tube has already ruptured. It's presented a case of heterotopic pregnancy diagnosed by means of a clinical presentation of hemorrhagic acute abdomen, with good progression of the topic gestation that resulted in birth. It's pointed out the importance of considering this pathology in the evaluation of women submitted to in vitro fertilization, with the objective of early treatment.

Camptomelic dysplasia belongs to a heterogeneous and rare group of lethal skeletal dysplasias, characterized by abnormal development of bones and cartilages. It is caused by a mutation in gene Sox9 (SRY-like HMG [high-mobility group] BOX 9) of chromosome 17 and it is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Its main characteristics are the shortening and bowing of the long bones, principally the lower limbs. It is also associated with other severe skeletal and extraskeletal malformations. Karyotype study may reveal sex reversal. The majority of carriers die during the fetal and early neonatal periods. Ultrasound is essential to elucidate a prenatal diagnosis.

This report describes an unusual case of spontaneous pregnancy in a patient with Müllerian anomaly. The patient was a 34-years old, white, nulligravida, with regular menstrual cycles, and suspected uterine septum observed during a routine ultrasonographic examination. The gynecological examination revealed a complete longitudinal vaginal septum and two uterine cervices. Three-dimensional pelvic ultrasonography showed cervix duplication, uterine septum from isthmus to endometrial cavity and absence of uterine body division, compatible with complete uterine septum and true dual cervices. She returned after one month and reported unprotected sexual intercourse and delayed menstrual period. She was pregnant, had a good pregnancy evolution, and delivered a healthy term baby girl, by cesarean section, at 37 weeks of pregnancy. This report describes a case of normal-term pregnancy in a patient with a rare anomaly (vaginal septum and two cervices) who became spontaneously pregnant without treatment.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare malignant neoplasia in gynecology, with probability of recurrence and low possibilities of metastasis. A 34-year-old patient after endometriosis treatment presented pain in the left inguinal region. She reported sensation of gradual increase in a solid nodule, painless at palpation, with difficult mobilization. Exeresis was proceeded with diagnostic hypothesis of endometriosis. Microscopy revealed a mesenchymal neoplasia characterized by proliferation of monomorphic fusiform cells and storiform aspect characterizing the DFSP.DFSP must be remembered in the differential diagnosis of the affections of the inguinal region in gynecology because it represents a malignant neoplasia, although it's rare.
