Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a benign myofibroblastic proliferation frequently encountered in the breast but rarely affects anogenital mammary-like glands, where it typically presents as small nodules. We report a rare case of a 38-year-old woman who developed a 95 × 60 × 60-mm vulvar mass 4 months after undergoing bilateral mastectomy and axillary excisions for histologically confirmed PASH. Pelvic MRI revealed a well-circumscribed, hypointense lesion in the posterolateral vaginal wall.

In the SD-Pf/Pan test, bands were obtained for both P.

Objectives: The primary objective of the study was to determine the expulsion rate of the newly developed frameless GyneFix Caesarean Section (Gyn-CS) device, specifically developed to minimise expulsion when inserted immediately after delivery of the placenta during caesarean section. Secondary objectives included evaluation of side effects, patient's satisfaction with the method and continuation of use.
Methods: A prospective, non-randomised clinical trial was conducted at a single university hospital research centre in Istanbul, Turkey, with follow-up at 4-6 weeks and again at 3 months.
Objective: The intent of this study (primary outcome measure) is to assess the expulsion rate of a newly developed copper releasing frameless intrauterine IUD GyneFix® Cesarean Section (Gyn-CS®) at 3 months' follow-up, compared to the TCu-380A IUD, inserted immediately postplacental expulsion following cesarean section delivery.
Study Design: This is a randomized trial from one hospital research center in Istanbul, Turkey. Eligible pregnant women, the majority undergoing elective cesarean delivery (n=106), and the remaining emergency cesarean section cases (n=34), received intracesarean insertion of Gyn-CS or TCu380A insertion.
