Primary Cervical Lymphoma Mimicking Deep Endometriosis
A 47 year-old female presented with abdominal pain and was found to have a torus uterinus mass causing bilateral hydronephrosis and acute renal failure with a creatinine of 2.98. Bimanual exam revealed a posterior vaginal mass extending to the parametria with obliteration of the posterior cul-de-sac (POD). Speculum exam and Pap smear were normal. Cystoscopy with ureteral biopsy, endometrial biopsy, cervical punch biopsy, and image guided biopsy did not yield a diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed ill-defined T2 hypointense parametrial and torus uterinus soft tissue with regional invasion involving the distal ...

A rare image of fallopian tube anomaly: ampullary accessory fallopian tube ostia
A 28-year-old single nulliparous woman was admitted to the hospital with menorrhagia and severe dysmenorrhea, with an NRS pain score of 8. The patient was diagnosed with a FIGO type 3 uterine leiomyoma and underwent a robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy to preserve her fertility. A preoperative pelvic MRI showed a 2.8 cm-sized myoma on the anterior uterine wall, compressing the endometrial lining. The surgical procedure was performed under general anesthesia and revealed a right-sided fallopian tube abnormality, which showed two separate fimbriae openings (Fig. (Source: The Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology)

A call for new theories on the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of endometriosis
This group was formed out of the conviction that endometriosis research has not progressed at a pace in proportion to disease severity and the negative impact on women's quality of life. Furthermore, advancement in our understanding of this condition requires a quantum shift based on new theories of disease pathogenesis. With this conviction, this international group calls for new theories that may improve the understanding of this condition, leading to optimized management or even prevention. To facilitate this, a dedicated website serving as a repository where all proposed theories can be reviewed and critiqued by peers ...

Is the Art of Hysteroscopy in jeopardy? A wake-up call
Hysteroscopy has gained an important role in modern gynecology. It is the gold standard for diagnosing and managing intrauterine pathology. Despite the tremendous diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of hysteroscopy, it remains widely underutilized. The first blind intra-uterine procedures are attributed to Recamier in the 1840s (1). Despite the rocketing technological advances in all aspects of life and particularly the medical field, techniques such as blind endometrial biopsy, Dilation& Curettage, and the blind use of a polyp forceps inside the uterine cavity are still pervasive in today's gynecologic practice, witho...

Regarding “Utility of Routine Postoperative Examination for Detecting Vaginal Cuff Dehiscence after Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy”
We read with interest the article by Caskey et al [1], which was recently published in the JMIG. The conclusions of the study support virtual follow-up after total laparoscopic or robotic-assisted hysterectomy, based on the finding that the risk of vaginal cuff dehiscence (VCD) was not decreased or affected by in-person postoperative visits. These assumptions underscore the possible role of telemedicine and its potential applications. (Source: The Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology)
