Noncongenital Vaginal Obliteration: Surgical Restoration of Vaginal Patency for GVHD
To provide a brief overview of noncongenital causes of vaginal obliteration and stenosis, discuss a unique case of vaginal agglutination in a patient who developed genital graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after receiving a bone marrow transplant (BMT), and present the steps of a laparoscopic total hysterectomy and lysis of vaginal adhesions that successfully restored vaginal patency without the need for grafting.

The fertility-sparing treatment and outcome of epithelioid trophoblastic tumor isolated to lung: a case report and review literature
ConclusionOur case highlights the efficacy of fertility-sparing surgery for isolated ETT in lungs. The surgical management of pulmonary isolated ETT could be individualized under long-term supervision. Sporadic reports on the favorable outcome of extra-uterine ETT with fertility-sparing surgery were described in the last decades. The safety of this surgical strategy might be warranted only if enough reliable data is accumulated. (Source: Frontiers in Oncology)

Primary amelanotic melanoma of anorectum - a rare case report with diagnostic challenge
We report a case of a 47-year-old woman who experienced painless rectal bleeding. On examination, an irregular lump was seen in the posterior rectal wall, measuring 4 × 3.7 cm. Biopsies were obtained under endoscopic guidance for histomorphology and immunohistochemistry. The biopsy examination showed nests of tumour mass in the lamina and muscularis mucosae. The tumour mass was composed of round to oval cells having enlarged nuclei, conspicuous nucleoli, and a scant amount of cytoplasm. No melanin pigmentation was noted in the tumour cells. HMB-45, S-100, and vimentin were all detected by immunohistochemistry. A definitiv...
