*When a very rare pathology comes as an intra operative surprise*
🧐🧐😳😳🥺🥺😱😱
*UTERINE DIVERTICULUM*
The story goes...
✒️✒️
A 50 year old lady came with h/o 2 years amenorrhea c/o on and off pain in abdomen and spotting PV from the last 15 days...
😖😖🩸🩸
She had h/o 3 FTNDs, TL was done..
*O/E*
She was vitally stable, afebrile
PS-Cx, Vg were healthy
Brownish coloured blood tinged discharge was coming through the os
*A soft mass of around 8-10 cm was palpable in left adnexa*
This mass was non tender on palpation
USG was s/o normal sized uterus and endometrium
Right o***y was atrophic
There was 8x10x10 cm lesion seen in the left adnexa adjacent to the uterus
Wall of the lesion was 5-10mm thick
It contained moving echoes with homogeneous echotexture...
LO could not be seen separately..
No e/o lymphadenopathy, ascites
*USG reported the mass lesion as a left ovarian endometriotic cyst*
*The patient was posted for TLH BSO in view symptomatic adnexal mass lesion*
*On laparoscopy*
Uterus was normal in size with normal bilateral tubes and ovaries
A 10x10x8 cm lesion was seen within the leaves of the left broad ligament
This lesion was moving with the uterus...
We excised this lesion alongwith the uterus
On cut section it was found to be
*UTERINE DIVERTICULUM*
*Discussion*
1. Uterine diverticulum is a very rare entity wherein outpouching forms from the uterus
2. Cavity of this lesion is in continuity with the uterine cavity
3. The defect is thought to be caused by defective fusion of the Mullerian ducts
4. It may be seen on anterior, posterior or lateral wall of the uterus
5. Lateral ones are surgically challenging as they tend to grow till the vital stuctured like ureter, pelvic vessles making these structures prone for the injury during the surgical excision
6. Step by step dissection and through knowledge of anatomy of the lateral pelvic wall safeguards ureter and pelvic vessels from injury
8. *It is so rare that only 24 cases of this pathology are reported till date*
Yes....god created women as a full suprise package... so unpredictable and so challenging ....😇😇
But at the same time he was kind enough to create gynecologists- a tribe of a professionally qualified persons trying to understand women...
👩🏻⚕️👩🏻⚕️👨🏻⚕️👨🏻⚕️🙂🙂
These poor fellows after learning volumes and spending years in their profession.... still find themselves on page 1 of the book called *"HOW TO UNDERSTAND A WOMEN..."*
More they try to understand... more complex the women become..
😃😃🙂😉🙃
😇😇🥰🥰
Come on....you can do it...
